Our Founder's story

Hi, I’m Helene, the founder of MeWe&You.

We’ve created a digital solution to help women better understand their health and take control of what they can do to feel their very best - throughout perimenopause, menopause, and the exciting next chapter of life.

I’m a midlife woman myself.

The first time I ever heard the word perimenopause was when my life suddenly fell apart a few years ago - and I was struck by a paralysis. Stress was identified as the most likely trigger, but I never got a clear answer as to why my body had reacted so intensely, or why I had been struggling with so many wide-ranging symptoms for nearly 14 years.

I experienced intense mood swings, a constant sense of overwhelm, and waves of anxiety that would wash over me every evening at bedtime.

My sleep problems became so severe that I could barely sleep at all.

At the same time, my periods were still normal and regular - which meant that no one, not even my doctor, realized it could be perimenopause.

That’s when I discovered functional medicine - a science-based field focused on identifying the root causes of chronic illness and vague, hard-to-pin-down symptoms. I decided to retrain in this field and began my journey to heal myself through lifestyle changes.

Today, I’m 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 and now, I feel better than ever.

But the road here has been longer and more complex than I ever could have imagined.

“I know that health is deeply individual. We’re all unique, yet most solutions out there are designed as if one size fits all. That’s exactly why I decided to create MeWe&You. I want to help women experiencing symptoms related to perimenopause and menopause find the kind of personalized support I myself was missing during my hardest moments. Support that’s simpler, more time-saving, and truly accessible to everyone.

Being able to share my story with you and to build MeWe&You, has given my own health challenges a deeper meaning and purpose. I’m so glad you’re here, and I truly hope we can take this journey together.”

With love,

Helene

Our Mission

Our mission is to modernize and improve the experience of perimenopause and menopause through new technology and up-to-date knowledge - both in everyday life and in the workplace.

Our Vision

Our vision is to make perimenopause and menopause easier and more manageable for everyone, every day - together, at home and at work.

Menopause hits many women hard, but the consequences go even further. It contributes to inequality in the workplace and a lack of women in key leadership positions.

It’s time we do more to change that - for everyone’s sake.

Our Sustainability Goals

We promote women’s right to health and well-being, gender equality and inclusion, digital innovation for perimenopause and menopause, and a sustainable working life for all.
