About Midvora
Our Mission
Midvora is an independent educational resource dedicated to explaining the physiological changes in energy metabolism and body composition in women after age 50. We provide evidence-based, scientifically grounded information without commercial intent, promotional language, or prescriptive advice.
What We Do
Midvora exists to clarify and contextualise the biological mechanisms underlying midlife metabolic changes. Through detailed articles grounded in peer-reviewed research, we explore:
- Age-related declines in resting energy expenditure and their drivers (sarcopenia, hormonal changes)
- Menopausal effects on body composition and fat redistribution
- Shifts in insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism post-menopause
- Changes in daily energy expenditure (NEAT) in midlife
- Metabolic adaptation mechanisms during energy restriction
- Longitudinal research tracking body composition trajectories in aging women
Our Approach
Educational, not prescriptive: We explain physiological phenomena and provide research context. We do not offer personalised recommendations, dietary advice, or treatment strategies.
Evidence-based: Every claim is grounded in peer-reviewed scientific literature. We reference longitudinal cohort studies, meta-analyses, and mechanistic research to support our explanations.
Balanced and nuanced: We acknowledge both universal biological processes (e.g., age-related muscle loss) and substantial individual variability (e.g., different women experience different magnitudes of change based on lifestyle and genetics).
Non-commercial: Midvora has no commercial relationships, does not sell products or services, and contains no affiliate links or promotional content. We exist solely to provide information.
What We Are Not
Midvora is not a medical resource, a nutritional advice service, a fitness platform, a wellness app, or a commercial venture. We do not diagnose conditions, provide treatment recommendations, or offer individualised guidance. We do not claim that understanding these physiological processes will produce specific outcomes or results.
