The race to unpause menopaused
A public-facing home for the project: what matters, what moved this week, what pathways look promising, what the current race board says, and what the sources actually justify. The tone is simple: not vibes, not miracle powder, not theater — mechanism.
Make menopause legible, tractable, and eventually interruptible.
Menopause is usually framed as a passive inevitability. This site treats it as a biological state transition with measurable pathways: ovarian reserve depletion, DNA damage load, stress-axis disruption, inflammatory damage, mitochondrial failure, fibrosis, genotype-specific risk, and the feedback loops around them.
The goal is not fake certainty. The goal is a fast, updateable front page for the strongest mechanisms, the most serious targets, the known limits, and the current state of the race.
Race board
Editable from JSON. Keep the front page current without touching layout code.
Evidence bands
Mechanism matters, but human replication outranks elegant stories. The board should say what is actually known, not what sounds like a trailer voice-over.
Live updates
Each entry is just data. Add a new object to data/site-data.json and the page updates itself.
Submit leads through the right issue lane
Four intake tracks keep mechanism, measurement, literature, and landscape scans separated. Each route opens a prefilled GitHub issue form with required fields, so low-signal fog has to do cardio before it gets in.
Priority pathways
What to measure and what accelerates loss
Diagnostic signals, reserve accelerants, and triage lanes kept in one place.
Diagnostic and triage signals
Major accelerants
What exists now versus what is still experimental
Separate symptom control, operational triage, and truly experimental reserve-rescue ideas.
The problems worth solving next
These are the questions that move the board if answered, not just the ones that make for good podcast clips.
Anchor sources
Keep the front page traceable to concrete papers, reviews, and guidelines rather than recycled folklore.
