VIDEO: Meet Dr Wendy Sweet [PhD] from MyMTâą.
Hi Everyone – how exciting – a new royal baby this week, and the start of a new life for the beautiful Royal couple, The Sussexes. It’s such an exciting and nervous time when there is a new baby. And how little we knew when many of us had our own children. Research wasn’t available […]
Discover the link between sore joints and menopause and the powerful nutrient your joints will love.
Whenever I get a health screening form arrive in my in-box from women who sign up to the MyMTâąÂ progammes, I look carefully to see if they have ticked the box that they are experiencing joint pain that has come on since they have reached menopause. The majority of women do. When I ask what their doctor […]
Discover 5 reasons why it’s not your fault that you are putting on weight in menopause.
Every extra kilo of weight is an added burden on your joints, heart, liver, cholesterol, muscle function and insulin levels as you age.

Working shifts and in menopause? Then let’s have a chat about your Vitamin D levels.

Discover why your increased anxiety is not just about your changing hormones in menopause.
We’ve been talking about anxiety this week in my coaching groups and I asked the women on the MyMT programmes a question. It was this: ‘If I sat you down right now with a blank piece of paper and said to you, âWhat causes you to feel anxious?â what would you write down on the […]

Lose your stubborn menopause belly-fat and you’ll reduce your hot flushes too. Women on the MyMTâą 12 week Transform Me programme call it ‘life-changing’ – as I did too.
If you are as frustrated by your mid-life belly fat and continual hot flushes as I was, then do you know that the two are related? The more overweight you are, the more hot flushes you get.It’s all because the extra oestrogen that is stored in fat cells (especially around your breast and belly) cause […]
Burn menopause fat by helping these cells to do the job they love to do … and why my dog needs to do this too!
Coming back to New Zealand has been an eye-opener. A month in Switzerland in a small ski village and hardly ever, did I see an overweight mid-life woman. Even when I visited the larger cities.
