Menopause: Your body now reacts differently to food

You aren't doing anything differently. Your body is.

As estrogen levels drop, your metabolism responds differently to food. A glucose sensor shows you how. Your nutritionist helps you incorporate this into your everyday life.

What our data shows: Women aged 45 and over

The metabolism changes somewhat starting in perimenopause. This can make it harder to influence weight. In our data, nevertheless, more women aged 45 and over achieved a weight loss of 3% than younger women.

Women aged 45 and over
38%
women aged 45 and over lost at least 3% of their weight in 90 days. From this point on, guidelines indicate health benefits if the weight is maintained.
Under 45: 24%. Analyzed: 219 women aged 45 and over and 173 under 45, p = 0.007
Women aged 45 and over
66%

All ages
68%
The women who started outside the healthy BMI range moved toward it in 90 days. 16% moved away from it.
Analyzed: 237 women, BMI range 18.5 to 25, p < 0.001
All ages
53%
The women had more complaints after 90 days that subsided than those that worsened. If their entries had been in a random order, it would have been 38%.
Analyzed: 1,964 women
38% and 66%: Women aged 45 and over whose goal was to lose weight and who had two weigh-ins at least 60 days apart. 68%: Women whose goal was to lose weight.

Hot flashes also subsided more frequently in our data than would be expected by chance (n = 363). No clear difference was observed for night sweats.

Frequently Asked Questions about Menopause and Hello Inside

How can I tell if I’m going through menopause?

It often starts with more irregular cycles, poorer sleep, hot flashes, or mood swings. This phase is called perimenopause and usually begins in your forties. Your gynecologist can give you a definitive answer. The MenoCheck provides you with an initial assessment.

Why am I gaining weight during menopause even though I eat the same as I used to?

As estrogen levels drop, your body becomes less sensitive to insulin. The same meal then causes your blood sugar to rise more sharply, and your body is more likely to store fat around your belly. This is due to your biology, not a lack of discipline.

What helps with cravings during menopause?

Cravings often occur after a drop in blood sugar. Many women notice a difference when they add protein and fiber to their meal or go for a short walk after eating. The sensor will show you which meal causes the drop.

What is Hello Inside?

Hello Inside is a Vienna-based company focused on women’s metabolic health. We combine research with what your body shows you every day. In the menopause program, you wear a glucose sensor (Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre). In our app, you can see how your body responds to food, sleep, and stress. You’ll discuss your data with your nutritionist and discover what works best for you during this phase.

How does the Menopause Rebalance program work?

Three months, chapter by chapter. You wear two sensors for 14 days each, log food with photos, and get one small step to try each day. Plus, you’ll have a conversation with your nutritionist.

Do I need a blood glucose sensor for Hello Inside?

No. The app also works without one. But with a sensor, you can see exactly how your body reacts to your meals.

Does the blood glucose sensor hurt?

Is the effectiveness of Hello Inside proven?

We publish our results every year in the Medical Efficacy Report. In the October 2026 report, 53% of women had more symptoms that improved after 90 days than those that worsened; if the order had been random, it would have been 38% (n = 1,964). These are real-world data without a control group. They show associations and do not prove efficacy.

Does Hello Inside replace a doctor or hormone therapy?

No. Hello Inside does not provide a diagnosis or replace medical treatment. You will decide about hormone therapy together with your doctor.

How much does Hello Inside cost, and does health insurance cover the cost?

MenoCheck is free. The program with sensors costs CHF249.90 per quarter, the app alone from CHF12.50 per month. [The CSS covers …]
