Does menopause need a new Lifestyle Science narrative?
“When I pick up books written by so called ‘menopause experts’ I look to the index for three words – vascular stiffness, inflammation and allostatic load. If I can’t see them, I put the book back.
Women in menopause are a unique cohort. Not only is their hormonal environment changing, but they are entering menopause within the context of so much change over their lifetime to the food & fitness industries, their work environments and the medication and supplement markets.
So, as Health Professionals, not only do we need to think about the physiological and psychological changes that are occurring, but also the how these internal changes may be clashing with your client’s modern, busy lifestyle.
Add to this the compounding effects of ageing and inflammation over their life-course, and it’s no wonder your client’s may not be responding to certain interventions.
The peri-menopause transition is the start of many inflammatory processes to do with ageing. As such, the trajectory towards many diseases of older age can start during the menopause transition if women don’t get in control of their symptoms and weight gain.
With the dominant paradigm for menopause symptom management being hormonal medication, what about lifestyle-changes? I hope you agree that this is important too!
For the past two decades I have been helping Health and Exercise Professionals ‘join the dots between menopause, ageing, nutrition and lifestyle medicine. I can’t wait for you to discover what I did.”

Frequently Asked Questions About How To Become A Menopause Coach
Menopause coaching is not legally regulated in many countries, but professional training and certification is strongly recommended. With MyMT™, you need to be appropriately qualified to work with clients in a health or exercise related capacity, and have relevant insurance in place.
Not necessarily – because Health and Exercise Professionals can still help women with lifestyle sciencec solutions. For these courses you do need an appropriate professional background. For the MyMT™ Menopause Practitioner Course, you must meet entry requirements such as being a qualified health professional (e.g., nurse, dietitian, physiotherapist, psychologist, personal trainer, etc.) or a fully qualified/accredited health coach (and you may be asked to discuss prior learning if you don’t have a strong underlying knowledge of physiology/endocrinology). You also need professional membership and appropriate insurance.
Start with the free 90 minute Masterclass on Menopause, where Wendy helps you understand the important connections between lifestyle science, menopause symptoms, and weight gain.
Then, choose your course. With an introductory 3-week course, a comprehensive 12 week course, or specific courses on weight gain and joint pain, there is something for everyone.
MyMT™ currently has three CPD certified courses for Health Professionals.
The Introduction to the Science of Menopause (Menopause Health Coach) Course is our introductory-level course, the Menopause Lifestyle Practitioner Course is our most comprehensive course for Practitioners looking to specialise and the Menopause Weight Loss Coach solely focuses on the complexities of midlife weight loss (including exercise prescription).
We also have a short course titled Menopause & Joint Health Coach Series, because joint pain is such a predominant issue for midlife women.
Graduates receive formal certification (and, depending on the course, a certificate and badge recognised by CPD/CEU bodies). Each course is certified by multiple organisations. Please check the relevant course page for a list of the organisations.
