Do you think of yourself as Pear-Shaped? If so, it’s the type of exercise you do in menopause that matters!

Who do you know that is a Gonad or Gyneoid Body Type –  you know, a Pear-shaped body-type? The reason I’m asking, is because there have been a lot of ‘AHA’ moments in the MyMT Coaching Groups this week. You see, every week in my private coaching groups, I try to have a ‘theme’ and […]

New Research: Your belly-fat in post-menopause … and why you shouldn’t just blame your hormones.

Have you ever wondered why so many women put on belly-fat as they move through menopause into post-menopause? This so confused me at the time. My legs were getting thinner, but my belly was getting bigger. Dangerously bigger. I knew it wasn’t good for my heart health and it was sending me down the slippery […]

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 MyMT™ 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 […]

Why Natalie Joyce’s “revenge body” wasn’t the real story – it was the role her Personal Trainer played in her support.

Self-identity is a curious thing. I thought about it when I was sitting in Row 3 on the flight from Canberra to Sydney last Friday sipping on my coffee with the Sydney Morning Herald open on the political pages reading about Australia’s upcoming election. But it wasn’t the political debates I was reading, it was […]

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. Although the 2017 OECD report suggests that both Switzerland and Korea are countries where obesity rates are projected to increase over […]

VIDEO: Meet Wendy Sweet from MyMT & discover why menopause is the time for lifestyle change, not endless supplements and medications.

Most women joining me on the MyMT programmes are as frustrated as I felt too – sick of spending huge amounts of money on various supplements, hormone creams, weight loss diets, Dr’s visits, blood tests, Personal Trainers, HRT, other Health Specialists and whatever else we can think of. All because menopause symptoms are ruining how […]

VIDEO: My 12 week online menopause-specific exercise programme is called Rebuild your Fitness: It’s ON SALE for you during ‘Menopause March’.

“Menopause is the time of our lives when we need to improve our exercise commitment for our health and not necessarily for any high-performance sports performance. This is especially so when we feel so exhausted from not sleeping or if our joints and muscles are sore.  When this happened to me I was so confused […]

Why it’s harder to cool down when you’re in menopause if you exercise or play sports.

Serena blows my mind. Here she is, the heaviest weight she has been for decades and despite the fact that she is now out of the Australian Open, her power, strength and tenacity was still able to bring her the results to get as far as she did. I’ve been watching her with interest to […]
