Methodology
Our Methodology: The Now For Women 5x5x5 Method
No two women experience perimenopause or menopause the same way.
Symptoms can range from changes in blood flow and body temperature, to shifts in mood, sleep, cognitive clarity, and sexual health. And beyond the symptoms themselves, the ways they affect your daily life differ from woman to woman. That is why everything we do at Now For Women is built around a framework that is personal, structured, and rooted in science.
At the heart of our approach is the 5x5x5 Method: a circular model with three interconnected layers, each one reflecting a different dimension of your experience.
Our 5x5x5 method is an evidence-based framework, scientifically reviewed by our Scientific Committee of doctors, researchers, and health experts.

The Three Layers
The innermost layer maps the five key areas where symptoms tend to show up: Blood Flow (think hot flushes and night sweats), Physical, Sexual, Psychological and Cognitive. Rather than treating these in isolation, we look at how they interact in relation to your symptoms and lifestyle.
The middle layer represents the five lifestyle pillars through which real, lasting change happens: Body in Motion, Nutrition, Mind & Emotional Wellbeing, Sleep & Recovery, and Track & Discover. These are the domains we work within to support and strengthen your day-to-day life.
The outer layer describes your transformation journey through five phases: Understand, Reset, Stabilise, Shift and Thrive. Each phase builds on the last, guiding you from awareness through to lasting change, at your own pace.
Together, these three layers create a personalised wellness pathway that meets you where you are and evolves with you every step of the way.
Your Programme, Personalised to You
We also recognise that the severity of your symptoms is only part of the picture. What matters just as much is your realistic capacity to engage: the time you have available, your energy levels, and any barriers you are navigating. Through our assessment, we calculate a Capacity Score that balances your symptom experience against your readiness and constraints, matching you to one of three intensity tiers, from one to two hours per week right through to five hours or more.
You are supported without being overwhelmed. This is not about doing more. It is about doing what is right for you, right now.
How AI Brings It All Together
Naomi, our holistic AI companion is the layer that makes your 5x5x5 programme feel alive and responsive. Available to you around the clock, she is not a chatbot or a diagnostic tool. She is an intelligent, conversational guide that gets to know your experience over time and adapts support accordingly.
As you move through your journey, Naomi learns from your inputs and evolves with you. She can help you make sense of how you are feeling on a difficult day, suggest where to focus your energy, gently surface patterns in your data, and ensure your programme stays aligned with where you are right now, not just where you started.
Think of it as having a knowledgeable companion in your pocket: one that brings together the insights of a wellness coach, a nutritionist, and an emotional guide, without the cognitive load of having to manage it all yourself.
Naomi amplifies our scientific framework. She does not replace it, and she does not replace your relationship with your healthcare professional.
