Perimenopause isn't just "hot flashes." It's bone loss, muscle loss, broken sleep, anxiety, and metabolic changes to name a few.

Strength training isn't a supplement for menopause care. But for a lot of symptoms, it is an intervention that just happens to have the best scientific evidence behind it. 🔬 🧪 

The catch? Every one of these results came from consistent, progressive training and that's exactly the part Fitbod automates. It builds each workout around your equipment, your experience level, and which muscles have recovered; it adds load for you; and if a movement hurts, you swap it in one tap.

What #strengthtraining does for #perimenopause , per RCTs:
🥵 Hot flashes: −44% 
🦴 Spine bone density: +2.9% (controls lost 1.2%) 
😴 Sleep: +40 min/night (beat cardio) 
😰 Depression & anxiety: significant reductions across 33 trials 
🧠 Joint pain, brain fog: improved in trial after trial 
⬇️ Visceral fat: down. 
📈 Insulin sensitivity: up.

The prescription is progressive overload. The hard part is programming it consistently.
