Sound Familiar?

Generic diets ignore your hormones

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.

Meal planning is exhausting

Between work, family, and everything else—who has time to research recipes, calculate nutrients, and build shopping lists?

Food goes to waste every week

You buy groceries with good intentions, but half of it wilts in the fridge because you didn't have a plan.

You want expert guidance, not another app

AI recommendations are fine, but sometimes you need a real nutritionist to review your situation and adjust your plan.

The average American family wastes $1,500/year in groceries (USDA). Women can lose up to 20% of bone density in the 5-7 years after menopause (National Osteoporosis Foundation). Research shows personalized nutrition plans are up to 3x more effective than generic diets.

It's Not Your Fault

Generic nutrition apps treat every body the same. Influencers push one-size-fits-all diets that ignore your hormones. Even most doctors receive less than 20 hours of nutrition education in medical school. Nobody told you that after 40, your body needs an entirely different nutritional approach — one that accounts for hormonal shifts, changing metabolism, and age-specific nutrient needs.

That's exactly the gap Balance Bags was built to fill.

Your body is changing right now. The right nutrition can support bone density, energy, and hormone balance. Get ahead of it with guidance that actually understands what's happening.

Our Story

Backed By Science. Powered By Experts.

We believe that nutrition during perimenopause and menopause shouldn't be one-size-fits-all.

Meet Our Founder

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 certified nutritionists. The result: truly personalized nutrition that accounts for hormonal changes, health goals, and real life."

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 weekly 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.

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.

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.

This might sound crazy, but my hair and skin have never looked better since I started Balance Bags!

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!

Having a real nutritionist 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!
