Built on Scientific Research

Built on Rigorous Science

ZestyCoach is developed using established, peer-reviewed research in exercise physiology, women's health, and behavioral science. We're actively preparing for formal research studies and validation as the platform evolves.

Peer-Reviewed Research-Informed

Exercise physiology, women's health, and behavioral science foundations

Research Cohort Launching Soon

Academic collaboration in progress with University of Tennessee

Privacy-First Data Collection

Founder-led, designed for ethical research from day one

Our Research Foundation

ZestyCoach is built using established research in women's health and physiology. We're preparing to launch our own research cohort to validate and refine our approach with real-world data.

01

Literature Review

Comprehensive analysis of peer-reviewed research in exercise physiology, women's health, and menstrual cycle impacts on performance.

02

Expert Advisors

Collaboration with Dr. Kelley Strohacker (Exercise Physiology) and Dr. Hector Santos-Villalobos (Machine Learning) to ensure scientific rigor.

03

Academic Partnership

Working with University of Tennessee to prepare for formal research studies and validation as the platform evolves.

04

Privacy-First Design

Building ethical data collection practices from day one, designed to support future research while protecting user privacy.

Research Foundations

HRV-Cycle Patterns

Published research shows Heart Rate Variability fluctuates across menstrual cycle phases—we're using this foundation to build adaptive training models.

Cycle-Aware Training

Emerging research suggests training adaptation to cycle phases may improve outcomes—we're building tools to test and validate this approach.

Multi-Signal Integration

Combining cycle data, daily readiness, and user input to create holistic coaching—a model we'll validate with our upcoming research cohort.

Individual Personalization

Every woman's body responds differently—our AI is designed to learn and adapt to individual patterns over time.

Research Roadmap

We're building the foundation for rigorous validation and future publications

Current: Q1 2026

Beta Launch & Initial Data Collection

ZestyCoach Founding Team

Status: In Progress

Launching voice-first AI coaching with privacy-first data collection to understand how women respond to cycle-aware, readiness-driven training guidance.

Planned: 2026

University of Tennessee Research Collaboration

In partnership with academic researchers

Status: In Planning

Preparing research cohort to formally study the impact of cycle-aware, biometric-driven coaching on women's training outcomes, consistency, and wellbeing.

Future Goal

Peer-Reviewed Publication

ZestyCoach Research Team + Academic Partners

Target: 2027+

Our goal is to publish validated findings on cycle-aware AI coaching effectiveness, contributing to the growing body of research on women's health optimization.
