Pvolve, the functional fitness workout Jennifer Aniston swears by, may help combat common declines during menopause, shows new research. The study (funded by Pvolve, but solid), found that after 12 weeks of following the program, women ages 40 to 60 showed improvements in hip and lower body strength, balance, flexibility, muscle tone, and energy. |

👎 NOT
Women with “mild” menopause symptoms are often dismissed—but those symptoms can have major consequences, argues an article in Australia's Women’s Agenda: “The 'mild' symptoms are never just mild when they’re disrupting your work, your relationships, and your sense of self,” says writer Georgie Drury. “It’s time to demand better for women everywhere. No more putting up. No more shutting up.”
At Midi, we couldn’t agree more. If your symptoms are interfering with your life in any way, it’s time to discuss treatment options. Our clinicians are experts in women’s midlife health and can guide you to the best solutions for your unique needs.

While there’s no one “magic bullet” to address the weight gain that often accompanies perimenopause, certain nutrients can help. In an ideal world, you’d get these through food, but supplements can help fill in the gaps. Here, some of the best supplements to consider:
-
Fiber Making the single change of eating more fiber helps you lose weight, according to research. Fiber is filling and feeds good bacteria in your digestive tract to support gut health, which is also linked to a healthy weight.
-
Protein Increasing protein even a little bit may prevent weight and belly fat in midlife. Plus, it helps your body maintain lean mass and is necessary for building muscle, too.
-
Magnesium Lack of sleep is a common culprit behind perimenopausal weight gain because it can affect your appetite and make you slog through the day (so you’re less active). Magnesium can help by promoting the production of the sleep hormone melatonin, which relaxes your body in preparation for sleep.
Learn more about the supplements that can help with perimenopause weight loss in Midi’s new guide.

“I was told my symptoms were ‘normal’—Midi finally listened to me”
|
|
|
|
I felt frustrated after visiting my family doctor, mental health specialist, and OB/GYN only to be told that what I was experiencing was "normal" and to come back after a year without a period. I was shedding hair worse than my golden retriever and had zero patience with my kids—not exactly a great combination.
After five years of night sweats, insomnia, anxiety, irregular periods, and constant fatigue, I read a book on menopause that changed my life. The book referenced Midi, so I decided to give it a try.
My clinician started me on the estradiol patch and progesterone, and now I’m also taking semaglutide. Thank you, Midi, for giving me hope that it can be different. I wish every woman knew that you don't have to suffer alone, and there is help—but you have to advocate for yourself.
