The science behind Sérénité Active

Show your working. Always.

Most apps ask for your trust. This one would rather earn it — every formula is drawn from published research, cited inside the app, and explained in plain language. Here's a preview of the Playbook.

i

Why your targets shift across your cycle

After ovulation, resting energy expenditure measurably rises. Most apps pretend every day is the same — Sérénité Active doesn't. This guide walks through the research behind the adaptive range.

Metabolism
ii

Energy availability & preventing REDs

Fuelling relative to your training load matters more than any single number. Here's how energy availability is calculated against fat-free mass, and why active women in midlife are especially at risk of running on empty.

Fuelling
iii

Fat-free mass vs total-weight models

If you know your body composition, the maths gets better. Which calculation basis fits your data — and when a genetically tested macro split earns the manual override.

Setup
iv

The fiber target most of us miss

Fiber gets treated as an afterthought almost everywhere. Here's why it sits alongside protein as a first-class target, and what the research says about fiber, satiety and hormones in perimenopause.

Nutrition
v

Adaptive calories, not crash cuts

The evidence behind the −150 to +250 adjustment window — and why slow, feedback-driven changes consistently outperform aggressive deficits in midlife.

Adaptation
vi

Cycle-phase training & recovery

What we really know about phase-based training, what we honestly don't yet, and how the coaching handles that uncertainty responsibly.

What this app won't claim

Sérénité Active is a nutrition and training companion — not a medical device. It doesn't diagnose, it doesn't replace your GP or specialist, and it won't promise what the research can't support. Where the science is still emerging (and in female physiology, plenty is), the Playbook says so plainly. I think you'd rather have honesty than hype.
