“I couldn’t retain information – that’s not helpful when you’re trying to study!” [Wendy, UK]
“When I first joined MyMT™ by age, I should have been post-menopausal. But because of a combination of a polyp and the HRT I was on, I was still getting regular bleeds. By then I had been struggling for several years. Like Wendy, I was part way through my doctoral studies when the full force […]
Reverse Metabolic Syndrome and Manage your Menopause Weight Gain
I remember the conference in New York distinctly. It was 1995, the year my daughter was born. As it’s her birthday this week, I was remembering that trip as it was my first time away from her. However, attending the conference was an opportunity that I didn’t want to miss. I was presenting at an […]
MyMT™ Education: Blowing hot and cold – the link between body temperature and gut health in menopause.
Knowledge about how the gut-microbiome alters aspects of our immune, metabolic and nervous system health has increased 10-fold over the past decade and fortunately, some of this knowledge has also been situated in midlife women’s health.

Losing your menopause and post-menopause weight with the Mediterranean Diet.
When new research arrived in my in-box recently, with the words ‘menopause weight loss’ and ‘minimal exercise‘ jumping out at me, it got my attention.

Sarah was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and wears compression gloves and orthopedic braces every day because of joint damage in her wrists. But she felt that the orthopedic support wrist braces […]
Brittle Bones: Why are you drinking alcohol when you are on menopause-HRT?
The irony wasn’t lost on me. Here she was at a Christmas social event I was attending during the week – and on her third glass of wine. No, I wasn’t counting. She told me, when she offered to pour me a glass. I turned her down politely. It was then that we struck up […]
“I have so much more energy and no longer spend my days feeling tired and sluggish.” [Kathryn, Australia]
“I am reflecting on the year that has been 2023. In the dying days of 2022, my resolution was to do something about my downward spiral, get some control over my symptoms and lose some weight. I joined the Transform Me Program. It wasn’t long before I saw results in terms of improved sleep. For […]
“I have so much more energy for my job as a Personal Trainer.” [Dorothee, Germany]
“I wanted to say thank you again for having had me on the MyMT™ Practitioner course this year. Since doing your Transform Me program and doing this course, I have learnt so much and my older clients are slowly starting to listen to me as I am a Personal Trainer in Berlin. It’s astonishing to me […]
Feeling Fatigued? Iron out your menopause fatigue with this important B-vitamin.
“The social, cultural, anthropological and personal effects of chronic fatigue are enormous on human economy and this condition is poorly understood.” [Bjorklund, Dara et al, 2019].
