What Does Lifestyle Medicine
For Menopause Really Mean?
When I first began my doctoral research into women’s healthy ageing, I quickly realised that menopause isn’t just about declining hormones. It’s about how your body shifts across multiple systems — your sleep, metabolism, immunity, mood, joint health, and more.
This is why I’m so passionate about lifestyle medicine for menopause. It’s about using evidence-based, natural strategies — nutrition, sleep, movement, stress management, and self-reflection — to help your body adapt, rather than simply suppressing symptoms.
The foundation of my MyMT™ programmes is built on what I came to call the 7 Dimensions of Women’s Healthy Ageing. These principles came out of my PhD research and, since then, have transformed the lives of more than 18,000 women worldwide.

What Professionals are Noticing
Over the past decade, I’ve listened to thousands of women’s stories, studied the literature, and reflected on my own health journey. One thing is now clear: instead of only relying on pills, creams, or hormones, lifestyle medicine must be at the centre of menopause care.
One study from Yazd Province in Iran really caught my attention. Over 300 women took part, and those with healthier lifestyle behaviours — nutrition, movement, stress management, and emotional wellbeing — reported significantly milder symptoms. Wherever we live, the choices we make around sleep, food, movement, and stress directly affect how we experience menopause. (For more information, see this article – The link between your lifestyle and the severity of symptoms in menopause.
This research also reflects what we see in the Blue Zones — those rare parts of the world where people live longer, healthier lives. Women in these regions often report fewer menopausal symptoms, and the common denominator is lifestyle. Their diets are largely plant-based, they move every day without exhausting their bodies, and they have strong social connections. (To learn more, see this article on What Women Living in ‘Blue Zones’ Can Teach Us About Menopause and Healthy Ageing)
This is why I often remind women that lifestyle medicine for menopause isn’t optional — it’s essential. By reducing inflammation, restoring sleep, eating well, moving appropriately, and staying connected, we can ease symptoms today while protecting our long-term health.
Wherever we live, the daily choices we make around sleep, food, movement, and stress have a direct impact on how we experience menopause.
Lifestyle Matters with or without HRT
Hormone therapy (HRT) can have benefits for some women, but it also comes with risks. An umbrella review highlighted both sides, which is why I always emphasise this: whether you use HRT or not, lifestyle changes improve outcomes.
If you’re on HRT, lifestyle medicine helps reduce inflammation, support sleep, and strengthen your overall health. If you aren’t, lifestyle changes become even more important to manage symptoms and lower long-term health risks. Either way, lifestyle is the foundation. (You can read more in my article: New Research: What effect does taking menopause hormonal therapy have on women’s health?)
Studies now look not only at what we do, but when. For example, morning exercise has been shown to reduce abdominal fat and lower blood pressure in midlife women – reinforcing that timing and tailoring matter.
This growing body of research underpins the MyMT™ menopause programs, which uniquely bring academic evidence into everyday, practical strategies for midlife women.
Beyond Hormones:
How Lifestyle Medicine Supports Long-Term Health
Lifestyle medicine for menopause doesn’t only aim to reduce hot flushes or night sweats. It also supports your long-term health — from heart and liver health through to joint mobility, energy, and metabolic stability.
Through my work with thousands of women, I’ve seen that many symptoms of menopause are reversible when we adopt the right lifestyle strategies for this life stage. As I often say: “Symptoms are reversible if lifestyle is tuned to support adaptation.”

Practical Steps from MyMT™ Research
The MyMT™ Seven Pillars of Women’s Healthy Ageing
My doctoral work began with global models like the WHO’s “Dimensions of Health,” but I quickly realised women needed something more practical — a framework designed for the menopause transition. That’s why I developed the Seven Pillars of Women’s Healthy Ageing.
These are the exact strategies women put into practice inside my programmes:
- Un-do past inflammation & restore sleep – poor sleep and joint pain are reversible.
- Reduce sources of stress — emotional & physical – protect your immune and nervous systems.
- Find your purpose – identity and motivation are vital for resilience.
- Movement to match ageing muscles, tendons, joints & heart – exercise to energise, not exhaust.
- Anti-inflammatory nutrition for heart & liver health – eat to reduce symptoms and future risk.
- Social connection matters – strong relationships reduce isolation and build confidence.
- Epigenetics — adapting to your job and environment – align lifestyle with your unique biology.
This is the MyMT™ difference: turning health theory into a menopause-specific pathway that has already helped more than 18,000 women worldwide.
It’s why so many participants tell me, “I finally feel healthy again.”

What Professionals & Participants Are Noticing
When I was undertaking my doctoral studies, I often wondered if the research world would ever “catch up” to what women themselves had been saying for years. Now it’s happening. Science is confirming what I’ve seen with thousands of women in my programmes. Lifestyle medicine isn’t just a “nice to have” it’s a must for these reasons:
- Women with healthier lifestyle habits experience milder symptoms.
- HRT can help, but lifestyle changes improve outcomes with or without hormone therapy.
- Lifestyle interventions - like exercise timing, reducing inflammation, or improving sleep - are increasingly validated in peer-reviewed studies.
- The global research community is finally recognising what women have long known: symptoms improve when lifestyle is the foundation.
This is why my work is now trusted not only by women, but also by health professionals who want continuing education in menopause care. Because the truth is this: lifestyle changes aren’t optional extras. They’re the foundation of feeling healthy again.
Lifestyle changes aren’t “optional extras.” They’re the foundation of feeling healthy again:
- More sleep. More energy. Better mood. Less weight gain. Stronger long-term health.
- Less reliance on higher doses of HRT or medication.
- A proven, step-by-step path that thousands of women have already taken.
- A pathway to healthy ageing
Midlife women don’t have to endure symptoms or settle for quick fixes. Lifestyle solutions are essential, not optional. These are the exact strategies Wendy has refined and delivered inside her Transform Me™, Circuit Breaker™, and Beyond Menopause™ programs.
