Hormones & Cycle
What does "cycle-aware training" mean?
Cycle-aware training adapts the intensity and type of exercise to the phases of your menstrual cycle. Hormonal fluctuations affect performance, recovery, and injury risk — you use this knowledge strategically.
When does perimenopause start?
Perimenopause often begins as early as the mid-30s and describes the transition phase before menopause. Typical signs include irregular cycles, sleep problems, and mood swings caused by changing hormone production.
What is RED-S?
RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) is a syndrome where energy intake is insufficient to cover the energy demands of exercise and daily life. It particularly affects female endurance athletes and can impair hormones, bones, and performance.
How are histamine and the cycle connected?
Estrogen promotes histamine release, which is why histamine symptoms often occur in a cycle-dependent pattern. Many women notice increased symptoms like migraines, skin reactions, or digestive issues around mid-cycle or before their period.
Nutrition & Training
Do I need to follow a specific diet?
No, at doc.veri there are no rigid diet plans. The focus is on a balanced, nutrient-rich diet that fits you and your cycle.
Which sports are recommended?
A combination of strength and endurance training is generally recommended. The optimal mix depends on your goals, life phase, and cycle phase.
