Our founder's story.

Hi, my name is Helene and I'm the founder of MeWe&You. We've created a digital solution to make it easier for women to understand their health and take control of what they can do themselves to feel their best – both during perimenopause, menopause, and in the exciting next half of life.

I am myself a middle-aged woman. The first time I heard about perimenopause was when my life suddenly collapsed and I suffered from paralysis a few years ago. Stress was identified as the most likely triggering factor, but I received no clear answers as to why my body reacted so strongly, or why I had struggled with so many diverse symptoms for nearly 14 years.

I experienced intense mood swings, a constant overwhelming feeling, and anxiety that washed over me like a warm wave every evening at bedtime. My sleep problems became so severe that I barely slept at all. Meanwhile, my menstruation was normal and regular, which made no one—not even my doctor—understand that it could be perimenopause.

That's when I discovered functional medicine—a medical field grounded in science that focuses on identifying the underlying causes of chronic diseases and diffuse symptoms. I chose to retrain in this field and began my journey toward healing myself through lifestyle changes.

Today, I am a certified nutrition and health coach as well as a functional medicine therapist. By experimenting on myself, I've discovered what truly works for me to feel my best. And today, I feel better than ever. But the path here has been longer and more complicated than I could have ever imagined.

"I know that health is individual. We are all unique, yet solutions out there are designed as if the same thing suits everyone. That’s why I decided to start MeWe&You. I want to help women experiencing symptoms related to perimenopause and menopause find the personal support I myself lacked during my toughest times – support that’s simpler, saves time, and feels more accessible to everyone.

Sharing my story with you and creating MeWe&You has given my own health challenges meaning and a greater purpose. I’m so glad you’re here, and I hope we can embark on this journey – together!"

With love and hope,

Helene

Our Mission

Our mission is to modernize and enhance the experience of perimenopause and menopause using new technology and current knowledge, both in private life and the workplace.

Our Vision

Our vision is to make perimenopause and menopause easier and more manageable for everyone, every day—together, in daily life and at work.

Menopause severely impacts many women, but its consequences extend far beyond that. It contributes to workplace inequality and a lack of women in key leadership roles. It’s time we do more to change this – for everyone’s sake.

Our Sustainability Goals

We promote women's right to health and well-being, equality, and inclusion, digital innovation for premenopause and menopause, and a sustainable work life for all.
