Hi, I’m Makenna; the founder of Ellabar and a woman who spent years struggling with her period. Since I was young, I dealt with crippling cramps that would knock me out for days. I thought it was just something I had to live with.

Later on, even as I became more focused on fitness and nutrition, I found myself frustrated—especially during the luteal phase of my cycle. I was working out consistently, eating clean, and still not seeing results. I’d beat myself up, not realizing my body was just asking for something different.

Everything changed when I discovered cycle syncing. Once I started eating in alignment with each phase of my cycle, my symptoms eased dramatically. I felt more in tune with my body, more energized, and a whole lot more compassionate with myself.

Ellabar was born out of that journey. We’re a San Diego-based wellness brand creating functional protein bars tailored to each phase of the menstrual cycle. Each bar is made with purposeful ingredients to help support your hormones, ease monthly symptoms, and add a little nourishment (and joy!) to your routine.

If you’ve ever felt like your body was working against you—this is for you.

Fuel your flow. Nourish your rhythm.
