The growing movement of slow-jogging and why it’s good for you in menopause – but you must restore your joints first.

We all know that a little exercise or activity makes a big difference to how we feel but in a world where there is so much choice around the type of exercise that is promoted to mid-life women, I believe that simple aerobic exercise is being forgotten.

The powerful connection between your sleep and weight management in menopause.

Sleep & Menopause Weight Gain

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 […]

VIDEO: The Science of your Weight Loss’ with Dr Wendy Sweet from MyMT™

VIDEO: “When I went into peri-menopause, I had no idea as to why my weight was going up despite regular exercise, eating well and doing all the same things that I had done for years to manage my weight. It was only when I did my women’s healthy ageing studies, that I realised that I […]

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.

The conference room at the stadium was a bit cooler than we intended but maybe this was because the event manager saw the sign, ‘Welcome to your Masterclass on Menopause’ – maybe he thought he was doing us all a favour turning down the heat a bit. But it didn’t matter because the room was full […]

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 attending this Hindu wedding was so cooling, despite the heat of the curries.

Wedding Ritual

I quite like having to remove my shoes at a wedding. When you are in menopause or post-menopause it’s very cooling. Did you know that we have hundreds of nerve endings and tiny blood vessels in the soles of our feet that are part of our ancient cooling mechanism? It’s the same with the palms […]
