Launch Stories

Our guest for our November 17th event is Alyssa Mack-Lee, Founder & CEO of Blyssminds, a women's cognitive wellness company.

After navigating her own experiences with ADHD, pregnancy and postpartum mental health, Alyssa began asking questions that would ultimately change the direction of her career. Why have women's cognitive health needs been so historically overlooked? Why are symptoms associated with hormonal changes so often dismissed or normalized? And what would it look like to build better solutions?

Those questions became the foundation of Blyssminds, a brand committed to addressing the longstanding gaps in women's health research by developing nutritional products specifically formulated to support the female brain.

With more than eight years of experience working in film and television as an Assistant Director, Alyssa entered the world of health innovation without a traditional background in biotechnology. Today, she's collaborating with scientists, clinicians, researchers and ingredient partners to build a company focused on advancing women's cognitive wellness.

Its two flagship products, Blyssminds Balance and Blyssminds Rest, are designed to support focus, mental clarity, mood, energy and rest throughout hormonal transitions. But Alyssa's vision extends beyond supplements. She's working toward a future where women's cognitive health is better researched, understood and supported.

In its first year, Blyssminds achieved Health Canada product approvals, joined the Natural Products Canada ecosystem and began working toward a six-month clinical study focused on women's brain health.

For entrepreneurs, innovators, and anyone passionate about challenging the status quo, Alyssa's story is a powerful reminder that meaningful change often begins with asking the right questions.
