This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether eating lean pork affects how well your blood vessels work and whether it helps with hot flashes during perimenopause. You would try two different eating patterns—one focused on lean pork and one plant-based—each for 4 weeks, with your normal diet in between. Researchers want to understand which type of diet may be better for heart and blood vessel health during this life stage.
Women going through perimenopause often experience hot flashes and changes in heart health, and doctors want to know whether diet choices can help prevent these problems. This study will help clarify whether the type of meat we eat matters for blood vessel function during midlife.

You would spend about 11 to 15 weeks in the study. You'll eat one of two prepared diets (either lean pork-focused or plant-based) for 4 weeks, then return to your normal eating for 2–6 weeks, then switch to the other diet for another 4 weeks. All your meals and snacks for each 4-week period will be provided to you. Throughout the study, you'll have your blood drawn and measurements taken to see how the different diets affect your blood vessel function and symptoms.
