Featured FAQs

What is Loam Nutrition?
Loam Nutrition is a women’s nutrition app that adapts your macro and micronutrient targets to your hormones and life stage. It supports menstrual cycles, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, perimenopause, and menopause with phase-aware nutrition tracking instead of a one-size-fits-all calorie goal.

How is Loam different from other nutrition tracking apps?
Loam is different from typical calorie and macro trackers because it is built specifically for women’s physiology. Most nutrition apps use a static target based on height, weight, and age. Loam starts with your hormonal phase and life stage, then adjusts macro and micronutrient goals as your biology changes.

Who is Loam Nutrition for?
Loam is designed for women and people with menstrual cycles who want hormone-aware, life-stage-specific nutrition support. It is especially useful for people who are cycle syncing, trying to conceive, pregnant, postpartum, breastfeeding, in perimenopause, or in menopause.

Can Loam help with pregnancy nutrition and postpartum recovery?
Yes. Loam is designed to support pregnancy nutrition and postpartum recovery in one app. During pregnancy, it helps you monitor nutrients such as iron, folate, choline, and DHA. After birth, it shifts toward recovery, energy, and postpartum nutrition support.

How does Loam support perimenopause and menopause?
Loam includes nutrition support for perimenopause and menopause, when hormones, metabolism, and sleep often change. It helps you focus on protein, fiber, and important micronutrients that support bone, muscle, and metabolic health.

Do I have to log every meal to benefit from Loam?
No. Loam is designed for flexible nutrition tracking. You can log meals consistently, scan packaged foods when needed, or simply use your dashboard as a check-in tool. The goal is useful awareness, not perfect tracking.

Is Loam a medical device or a substitute for my doctor?
No. Loam Nutrition is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. It is a women’s nutrition and education tool meant to support everyday decisions alongside your healthcare provider.

How do I get access to Loam?
Loam is currently rolling out gradually. To get access, join the waitlist, share a bit about your current life stage and goals, and watch for an invitation as new spots open.
