What is the MyMT™ Menopause Symptom Quiz? When I founded My Menopause Transformation, I never imagined that starting a conversation about this stage of our lives would elicit so much interest. But whne I went into peri-menopause and experienced my first hot flushes, I didn’t understand what was happening. I also had no idea that […]
How to EXERCISE in tune with your menstrual cycle in peri-menopause.
“The rise and fall of hormones during a woman’s menstrual cycle have a profound impact on performance.” [Exercise Physiologist, Dr Stacy Sims, New Zealand]. Stacy’s work with female athletes is pioneering and her book called ROAR, should be on the book-shelf of any young female athlete wanting to improve their performance as part of […]
“I was so challenged in my beliefs about exercise. I had no idea I was in peri-menopause.” [Sue, New Zealand)
This is Sue. She is here with me after a presentation in beautiful Northland in New Zealand. As a leading Personal Trainer, Teacher and Athletics Coach for her local community, Sue had invited me to do some presentations for women whom she knew would benefit from learning about menopause. For over 20 years Sue has […]
New Guidelines for your AGEING HEART in Menopause: Is it Meat or Beans for Dinner?
With lack of time our constant enemy as we juggle demands from work, family, ageing parents and everything else we have going on in our lives, if you are like me, then ‘what’s for dinner?’ gets relegated to grabbing some meat from the freezer, throwing on some vegies and potatoes and feeding the family similar meals most […]
“After my hysterectomy my weight ballooned. Wendy’s programme was a revelation.” [Elaine, UK].

The powerful connection between your sleep and weight management in menopause.
If you added up all the nights in the week that you lie awake between 2-4am, how many would that be? Is it 5 or more? I’m asking you this, because when I’ve presented my Masterclass on Menopause seminars over the years, this is the question that women groan at the most. And asking that […]
New Research: The science of ‘Happiness’ and why you don’t feel so happy during menopause.
Two years ago in early October, I travelled to beautiful Sydney to attend a ‘Happiness’ conference. It was my first time attending this type of conference. But when the day starts with an interview with the Dalai Lama about believing in yourself and ends with a presentation on the neuro-science of happiness, then you know […]
Find your ‘flow’ and reduce multi-tasking to manage your anxiety levels in menopause.
There’s a small book sitting on my bookshelf that I treasure. Given to me by my retiring PhD Supervisor when he was cleaning out his office, it reminds me of my sport psychology lectures when I attended Otago University’s Faculty of Physical Education, in the 1990’s. As a naive adult student re-training and moving on […]
Fight your fatigue in menopause from the ‘inside-out’ by looking after these powerful cells.
Over the past couple of years I’ve had the privilege of talking to hundreds of women throughout New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom when I’ve taken my live Masterclass on Menopause seminar. [I’ve now put this online for you]. I often ask them if they feel like their energy levels have dropped since they […]
