Your metabolism at 45 isn't what it was at 25. Standard nutrition advice doesn't account for perimenopause, menopause, or your unique health goals.
Between work, family, and everything else—who has time to research recipes, calculate nutrients, and build shopping lists?
You buy groceries with good intentions, but half of it wilts in the fridge because you didn't have a plan.
AI recommendations are fine, but sometimes you need a real nutritionist to review your situation and adjust your plan.
That's exactly why we built Balance Bags.

Our Story
We believe that nutrition during perimenopause and menopause shouldn't be one-size-fits-all.
Mehdi H. — MIT, PhD
"After watching my mother struggle to find nutrition advice that actually worked for women her age, I knew I had to do something. As an engineer with a background in data science, I saw how technology could make personalized nutrition accessible — but I also knew the science had to come from real experts.
I completed Stanford Medical School's nutrition program to deeply understand the problem, then built Balance Bags to combine cutting-edge technology with guidance from Registered Dietitian Nutritionists. The result: truly personalized nutrition that accounts for hormonal changes, health goals, and real life."

Our team of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) specializes in women's health and hormonal nutrition. Every recommendation, recipe, and meal plan is reviewed to ensure it meets the highest standards of nutritional science.

The more I use Balance Bags, the more I love it! I aim for well-balanced meals, and my dietitian helped me identify that I was low on magnesium. Now my grocery list is filled with nutrient-rich foods I actually enjoy. The monthly check-ins keep me accountable, and I finally feel like someone understands what my body needs at this stage of life.

At 47, I was exhausted all the time and thought it was just "part of getting older." My nutritionist at Balance Bags helped me discover I needed more healthy fats and vitamin C. Now I add avocados and berries to every shopping list, and my energy is back! The personalized recipes actually fit my life and my kitchen.
Age 47 - Perimenopause
I used to spend hours meal planning and still felt like I was missing something. Since starting with Balance Bags, I finally enjoy food without guilt. The recipes are tailored to what's already in my fridge, and having a real dietitian review my plan each month gives me confidence I'm doing this right. At 52, I'm finally eating for MY body.
Age 52 - Menopause
Hot flashes, weight gain, brain fog - I thought I just had to live with it. My Balance Bags nutritionist helped me understand how certain foods were making my symptoms worse. Three months in, and I've lost 8 pounds, my hot flashes are less frequent, and I'm sleeping better. This isn't just meal planning - it's life-changing guidance.
Age 54 - Menopause
This might sound crazy, but my hair and skin have never looked better since I started Balance Bags! My nutritionist explained how hormonal changes affect everything, and the recipes she recommended are packed with the right nutrients. At 48, I'm getting compliments on my skin for the first time in years!
Age 48 - Perimenopause
I was throwing away so much food every week - it felt wasteful and expensive. Balance Bags gives me recipes based on what's actually in my kitchen. The nutritionist helped me understand portion sizes for my stage of life, and now I'm eating better AND saving money. Zero food waste is my new goal!
Age 45 - Perimenopause
Having a real registered dietitian who understands menopause is worth every penny. Generic apps gave me the same advice they'd give a 25-year-old. Balance Bags actually factors in my hormonal stage, my health goals, and what I have in my pantry. It's like having a nutrition coach who gets it!
Age 51 - Menopause
I had a bag of broccoli in the fridge from last week's grocery shopping, and I knew it would go bad if I didn't use it today. While I know how important it is to eat broccoli for its health benefits, I didn't have any delicious recipes. So, I asked the Balance Bags’ advisor for help, and I'm so glad I did! It suggested 3 recipes based on what I had in my kitchen and fridge (mainly broccoli and beef 😊). I used its advice for a fast and delicious beef and broccoli stir-fry recipe, the whole thing didn’t take me more than 15 minutes and the results were amazing. The recipe was easy to follow, the beef was tender and juicy, the broccoli was perfectly cooked, and the whole meal was incredible. Had a healthy delicious meal, saved time and no food wasted!

I used to wander around the grocery store like a lost puppy, tossing random things in my cart and hoping for the best. Balance Bags is a lifesaver! Now I have a clear list, I'm not wasting money on things I don't need, and I'm actually saving like $200-$300 a month. Crazy, right?
