Our Programs
At One in Every 10, we fight for reproductive health equity by building solutions for people living with PCOS and uterine fibroids. These conditions affect millions, yet remain underfunded, misunderstood, and inequitably treated—especially in BIPOC and low-income communities.
Based in Arizona, we address urgent local needs while shaping national models for research, wellness, menstrual equity, and reproductive justice.

Keza: the app powering our mission from your pocket
Keza is OneInEvery10's evidence-first health intelligence app — built for the one in every ten women living inside a body the textbooks skipped. She listens to the whole body (not just periods), surfaces patterns in your own data, and cites peer-reviewed research behind every insight. Every program on this page is amplified by what Keza captures.
Not a period app
Keza listens to the whole body — cycle, HS flares, sleep, stress, food, mood, meds, and perimenopause — not just bleeding.
Peer-reviewed citations
Every insight is grounded in research you can read for yourself. Nothing invented, nothing inflated.
Doctor's Corner brief
Turns your logs into a print-ready summary so appointments stop being a guessing game.
Your data stays yours
Keza never sells your data — not to advertisers, not to insurers. Ever. Export or delete anytime.

The Womb Wellness Project
Restoring Health Through Holistic Care for PCOS and Fibroids
The Problem
PCOS affects an estimated 8–13% of women of reproductive age, and by age 50, more than 80% of Black women and nearly 70% of white women have developed fibroids. Black women are diagnosed with fibroids about 4 years earlier on average, while women with PCOS often face years-long delays in diagnosis. Nutrition and lifestyle support remain difficult to access: fewer than 27% of U.S. medical schools meet recommended nutrition education standards, and only 14% of resident physicians feel adequately trained to counsel on nutrition.
BIPOC and low-income women in Arizona face even greater risks, as an estimated 23.5 million people (2009 estimate) live in low-income areas more than a mile from a supermarket—many in rural and tribal regions of our state—limiting access to hormone-supportive foods.

The Womb Wellness Project takes a community-centered, partnership-driven approach to addressing PCOS and fibroid disparities:
Nutrition and Lifestyle Education
Free workshops, meal planning sessions, and cooking classes rooted in anti-inflammatory, blood-sugar balancing, and culturally relevant foods.
Food Access Support
Partnerships with Arizona farms, food pantries, and co-ops deliver groceries, meal kits, and recipes designed for PCOS and fibroid symptom relief.
Holistic Practices
Group-based offerings such as yoga, meditation circles, womb health workshops, and herbal education to help women manage stress, regulate cycles, and reduce pain.
Environmental Justice Advocacy
Collaborations with Arizona environmental health groups to address chemical exposures that disproportionately affect BIPOC communities.
Mother-Daughter Prevention Programs
Early education and family wellness planning to break the intergenerational cycle of PCOS and fibroid risk.
Community-Centered Approach: By grounding services in partnerships with local organizations, cultural advisors, and community volunteers, the Womb Wellness Project delivers accessible, culturally affirming wellness without requiring costly centers. Arizona serves as the launchpad, but this model can be replicated nationwide.

Join the Movement
Every program we run begins in Arizona, where inequities in PCOS and fibroid care are urgent, but our impact extends nationwide. Together, our programs restore dignity through menstrual equity, empower families with financial and fertility support, advance research justice rooted in community voices, and protect reproductive health through safe products and environments.
Because every 1 in 10 deserves equity, justice, and healing.
You can help us expand these solutions beyond Arizona and into communities nationwide.
