“I’m sleeping, no sore joints and I now have the confidence to help the women in my gym too.” [Anne, NZ]
“Learning from Wendy has been an absolute inspiration and light bulb moment for me. I originally did Wendy’s MyMT™ Transform Me programme about a year ago and along with dropping quite a few kilos, it also helped me regain my sleep (bliss). I am a Personal Trainer and Coach and as such, was feeling a bit […]
The seasons are changing and so is your melatonin production during menopause.
“Sleep touches on nearly every aspect of our physiology and psychology, of our interaction with the world and with others.” William Dement (2000), Sleep Research Pioneer. Over 20,000 students took William Dement’s course on ‘Sleep and Dreams’ throughout his tenure at Stanford University. He created and pioneered the fields of sleep research, sleep medicine and […]
Muscle Mitochondria: The cause of the surprising changes to your energy during menopause.
Mountains feature a lot in the lives of many MyMT™ women. They feature a lot in my family’s life too. Whether hiking or skiing, we enjoy being in the mountains, as many women on my programmes do as well. But it wasn’t always that way. One of the challenges that beset many of us as we transition […]
“Sleeping all night and no hot flushes. I didn’t realise I had to change my habits in midlife.”
“After meeting Wendy in London, I’m so pleased I did her programme. I feel, look and sleep so much better and don’t feel like I’ve deprived myself in any way. I didn’t realise that my routines were contributing to my menopause symptoms. I learnt from the programme that a poor night’s sleep fires up our […]
Your ageing arteries in post-menopause and the magic of magnesium.
Women’s health and ageing research is replete with cardiovascular disease studies. The declining health of our mother’s generation have paved the way for this type of research in older women. For many women, menopause is the start of their changing heart health … but here’s the thing that our mother’s generation didn’t know – it doesn’t […]
“My sleep was disastrous. I am a single-mum and had no idea how to look after myself in menopause. I’m 59 and now feel amazing!”
“What does my life look like at 59?” pondered Andrea in the MyMT™ Coaching Community. I had no idea that Andrea was in my session at the Australian Women’s Health and Fitness Conference, but I must have struck a chord with her, because a few months later, she arrived in my online MyMT™ Circuit Breaker programme […]
The MyMT™ Kitchen: Boost your brain with Blueberry and Banana Muffins
It always intrigues me that numerous supplements which are marketed to women during their menopause transition, comprise ingredients which mainly have anti-inflammatory effects as well as containing nutrients, such as flavonoids, which help to prevent neuro-degenerative disorders, such as brain changes as we age. Flavonoid compounds are products extracted from plants and they are found […]
Why alcohol and post-menopause aren’t a good mix!
Drinking culture is big business in many parts of the world and I was reminded of it today as I stood in line at check-in at Geneva airport. The woman was in her 50s and was off to Dubai to party-up a storm with her friend. In their race to get to check-in, they had […]
Your dietary protein, menopause hot flushes and the Okinawan ratio.
It took me a long time to understand why my menopause hot flushes were getting worse, despite the medications. My hot flushes were not only embarrassing and exhausting, especially the red-face, but seemed to increase in intensity in the evening. After dinner was the worst. But I now know why this is. The high-protein diet […]
