Founder story.

Hi, my name is Helene and I am the founder of MeWe&You. We have developed a digital solution to help women understand and know, in a simple way, what they can do personally to feel their best in peri/menopause and for the next half of their precious lives.

I am a woman of a certain age myself. The first time I heard about perimenopause was when my life collapsed and I got paralyzed a few years back. Stress was eventually ruled as the most likely trigger. However, I did not get definite answers as to the root cause of what happened or the reason for all my other health issues over the past 10-15 years.

I experienced terrible mood swings, an overwhelming feeling, anxiety that washed over me with a warm feeling at bedtime and sleep problems that, after what happened, were at the very bottom. I hardly slept at all. My period was normal though, so no one - not even my doctor - suggested it could be perimenopause-related.

That's how I came in contact with functional medicine, a medical field that, on a scientific basis, goes to the bottom of the underlying causes of chronic diseases and diffuse symptoms. I decided to retrain in that area and try to heal myself with the help of lifestyle activities.

Today, I am a Certified Nutrition and Health Coach and Functional Medicine Therapist. Through experiments on myself, I have come to know what works for me to feel my best. And today I feel better than before. It has just taken longer and been more complicated than I ever anticipated.

“I know health is personal. We are all unique and the advice out there is mostly generic. That is why I decided to start MeWe&You. To help women and others facing all kinds of problems related to peri/menopause find the support I was lacking during my toughest times.

By sharing my story with you and creating MeWe&You, my health challenges serve a purpose. I am so happy that you are here. I hope that we can do this - together!”

Love - Helene

Our mission.

Our goal is to upgrade peri/menopause with technology and new knowledge, at home and work.

Our vision.

Our vision is to make peri/menopause easy for all, every day, together.

The fact that women are hit hard by peri/menopause is a problem for many. This contributes to gender inequality in the workplace and an absence of women in crucial leadership positions. We have to do more to counteract this.

Sustainable development goals.

We actively work towards women’s right to good health and well-being across the lifespan, gender equality and societal inclusion, digital innovation and inclusion for peri/menopause, and sustainable work life for all.
