New Research: If women are overweight, do they experience worsening menopause symptoms?
For over 7 years now, I’ve been observing a quiet phenomenon with women on my lifestyle programmes. It happened to me as well and I wonder if it’s happened to you too? The realization that weight gain, high blood pressure, changing cholesterol and higher-than-normal blood sugar was linked to my hot flush and night sweat […]
A spotlight on your changing gut health from peri- to post-menopause.
Every week in my newsletters I try to come up with a topic that I hope will interest you. Sometimes it’s because of a conversation in my coaching group from other women who are just like you, or sometimes I’m reminded of something that I had no idea was anything to do with our menopause […]
“My family kept telling me that I was really angry all the time! I was always so hot and exhausted.” [Emma, Ireland]
When you have a busy life as a working mum and you are taking your Eating Freely Health Professionals courses around the world, doing nothing about your health and symptoms is NOT an option.

Will combining this diet with the right exercise reduce cholesterol and blood pressure in post-menopause?
When forty obese post-menopausal women in Cairo , aged 50-60 yrs participated in a study exploring the effect of diet and exercise on their cardiovascular health, they would have had no idea how influential it might be on many of us here in my newsletter community.

The MyMT™ Kitchen: Irish Soda Bread and my Pumpkin Soup recipe – a winner for your midlife health.
The breakfast waiter gave my daughter a loaf to take back to her flat in London. They had been talking about rugby after he realised that we were ‘Kiwis’ from New Zealand – he even knew about the women’s World Cup Rugby which has just finished. When my daughter mentioned how much she liked the […]
New Research: The Water You Drink – and its effects on your gut health in midlife.
When you walk around the lake-front of the small town where I live, there is a natural spring. I became interested in it when I went into menopause. Not because of its aesthetic value, but because it reminded me of the small mountain village in Switzerland, which is home to a source of glacial water […]
“I’m now inspired and excited about my future living my best life!” [Suzy, Australia].
“Here I am on the other side of menopause and I can’t thank Dr Wendy Sweet enough for the caring, honest and informed way she guided me through my menopause journey. I was in my early 40s with increasingly worsening health and little help as no one understood what was happening to me, including me. […]
New Research: Foods that shift storage fat to metabolically-active ‘burning’ fat.
If there were some foods that you could incorporate into your daily food intake, that contained compounds to help you change unhealthy white fat and turn this to highly metabolic brown fat, would you eat them?
