FAQs
01
What is Menovation?
Menovation is a fitness and health app designed to help women get strong and learn about their bodies during perimenopause and beyond. It combines a variety of workout modalities, plus health experts that touch on a variety of topics from hormone replacement therapy, to heart health, and mental well-being.
02
How should fitness training change during perimenopause?
Strength training becomes even more important. Women begin to lose about 3-5% of muscle mass every decade in midlife. Resistance training should be prioritized, as it prevents and reduces muscle loss.
03
How does nutrition change in perimenopause?
Menovation has nutrition guidance from a NP who specializes in midlife hormone health. Protein becomes even more important as we combat midlife muscle loss. Also, you should increase your fiber intake as it helps with weight management, blood sugar regulation, and digestive health.
