Wendy – I can’t thank you enough for sharing your valuable knowledge and excellent research and references in your Masterclass. Your knowledge linking lifestyle to menopause, opened up my ability to change my health situation. I have now lost 25 kgs and I’ve overcome very high blood pressure with meds which have now been halved due to the lifestyle changes I’ve made.

Why do we have to figure it out on our own?

When new research papers arrive in my inbox every week, my family often hear me say, “Wow! Why aren’t women being told these things by health professionals?”

It is a statement I repeat far too often, and have done ever since the interviews I undertook with women as part of my PhD studies into Women’s Health and Ageing.

I travelled the length of New Zealand interviewing women. Despite them not knowing each other, the themes were clear. They complained of insomnia, sore joints, low energy, heart palpitations and un-stoppable weight gain. Many were scared about the health trajectory they were on, and were afraid of the health conditions they had seen their mother’s generation experience. But, not one of them mentioned menopause.

That was 15 years ago.

My studies led me towards understanding there are numerous women globally that don’t experience the symptoms or weight gain that many western women do. So, what are they doing differently?

For 15 years, I’ve been on a mission to get this life-changing research into the hands of women. With over 20,000 women already joining the MyMT™ 12-week Programs, I can’t wait to share their stories and help you understand what’s possible for you too.

I hope you can watch this 2 hour Masterclass – my goal is to help you make sense of your health changes in midlife and beyond.

Kylie - Australia

“Enter from stage left, Dr Wendy Sweet (PhD) and her Masterclass. This information was exactly what I had been looking for. Wendy’s lecture reached me on so many levels.”

Maxine Start 2

Maxine - UK

“Menopause overwhelmed me so much that just the simplest of things would make my heart palpitate. I tried both HRT and anti depressants, both of which helped for a while, albeit never fully alleviating all of my symptoms.

I nearly didn’t go to the Masterclass because it was late at night. 

I don’t know where I would be if I hadn’t gone. That evening I discovered Wendy, and everything she said made perfect sense! It was a light bulb moment for me! 

I started making changes, and quickly saw results! The rest is history.”

Sylvie Sacco (NZ) After

“I had terrible menopause symptoms for years. All the things you described in your Masterclass. I am so grateful that I came across it and took the time to listen. It has changed my life. Within a couple of weeks my hot flushes eased and everything started to turn around.”

What's Inside the Masterclass on Menopause and Beyond?

Throughout the 2-hour Masterclass, you will discover:

  • The symptoms that many women (and Doctors) don’t realise are related to menopause e.g burning tongue syndrome, restless leg syndrome, histamine allergies, dizziness, headaches, fibromyalgia, hair loss and heart palpitations.
  • Why many of the organs around our body change so much during midlife. For example, did you know that the volume of the liver can reduce up to 40% by age 60, or that your skin becomes it is full of oestrogen receptors?
  • Why you may have started waking through the night.
  • Why many women gain weight in menopause, despite eating and exercising the same as they always have.
  • Why menopausal women lose magnesium in muscles more rapidly, which contributes to restless leg syndrome, aching joints and slower recovery from exercise.
  • Why Vitamin D insufficiency is associated with increased arterial stiffness and contributes to higher blood pressure in women.
  • Why Irritable Bowel Syndrome is 3 – 5 times more common in midlife women.
  • Why your symptoms may have returned in post-menopause.
  • Why heart disease is the number one health issue in post-menopause, and what changes occur to the lining of your blood vessels.
  • Some powerful lifestyle solutions that you can start implementing straight away to relieve your symptoms.

Your Menopause Questions Answered

5/5
"Without MyMT™ I would never have had the energy to have such amazing fun. I'm now sleeping, have lost 17 lbs (8kg) and no more hot flushes. Using your advice is life-changing."
Kate, United Kingdom

Menopause usually starts in our mid-40s and this is known as peri-menopause. Periods start to fluctuate as reproductive hormones decline. 

Women are considered to be in menopause when their periods cease.  From my database of 500,000+ women who have completed the MyMT™ Symptoms Quiz I can tell you that on average this happens at 51 years of age. 

After one year of periods ending, women enter post-menopause where they remain for the rest of their lives. We live nearly half of our life in a completely different hormonal environment, so we need to know how to adjust to this. 

Research suggests that the menopausal transition period is strongly associated with weight gain, which in up to 70% of women, is now a known symptom. The data I have collected over the years confirms this. 

But, here’s the thing. It’s not your fault you are putting on weight! There are so many factors fighting against you. Here are just two examples:

  1. You may not be sleeping – Incredibly, because of our changing hormone levels in menopause, we can add 1-2 kg a week during menopause when we can’t sleep (Theorell-Haglow et al, 2010). 
    When you’re awake night after night, this means that your glucose-carrying hormone called insulin, remains higher than usual overnight. So too, does your stress hormone called cortisol. When this happens, this interferes with both melatonin and another sleep hormone called Adenosine. All of these hormones play a role in fat cell physiology. 
  2. Oestrogen Dominance – Did you know that our fat cells are known to produce their own oestrogen?

    When menopause hormonal changes arrive and women don’t adjust their lifestyle to suit these changes, our fat cells can turn towards storing any excess oestrogen that arrives from our diet and hormone-agents in the environment. When this happens, there is more oestrogen stored in our fat cells and this ‘dominates’ the internal environment

If we don’t put the brakes on our weight gain during menopause, then this can be a slippery slope towards joint issues, cardiovascular issues and for some, Type 2 Diabetes. 

Learn more about why you are gaining weight and explore the 12-week MyMT™ Transform Me Programme here. 

Are you noticing lots of changes going on in your body? Perhaps, you are like Kellie from New Zealand, who told me…

“I think without this programme I would have gone crazy, I had no idea a lot of my symptoms were menopause related. I am now sleeping through the night, no more insomnia or hot flushes keeping me awake, my blood pressure is back to normal, no more heart palpitations and my feet no longer burn at night.”

The common symptoms that are known about in research include: 

  • Interrupted sleep
  • Low energy
  • Night sweats / hot flushes
  • Loss of muscle
  • Weight Gain
  • Irritability
  • Depression
  • Lack of Motivation
  • Worsening prolapse
  • Burning joints / weak bones
  • Low libido
  • Dry skin

But the research is still in its early days.  Women on my programmes are surprised to find that the following symptoms are also likely menopause related:

  • Heart palpitations
  • Dizziness
  • Burning tongues 
  • Hair loss
  • Reflux

With oestrogen receptors located all around the body, I am not surprised that there are so many symptoms that women don’t realise are related to menopause. In my 12 week programmes, I have bonus information which helps you understand and manage these symptoms. 

Inflammation in the body makes our symptoms worse. 

The term ‘inflammaging’ refers to chronic, low-grade inflammation that characterises ageing. And as I keep reminding women, even though we feel young perhaps compared to our mother’s generation at the same age, we must also remember that inside our body, our cells are ageing. Furthermore, when we aren’t sleeping, we aren’t healing from all the stress that we are under.

And I don’t just mean emotional stress. I often talk about women who are undertaking lots of high-intensity exercise most days of the week (as I used to as well). This can increase physical or oxidative stress inside our cells and tissues when we aren’t sleeping well. Like over-trained athletes, we fail to heal properly when we don’t sleep. Inflammation builds up, and this begins to affect some tissues and organs, including the gut microbiota and fat cells. 

If we think about a woman’s experiences over her lifetime that may have caused inflammation, coupled with the fact that peri-menopause and ageing are known to be inflammatory themselves, menopause is the perfect storm for symptom chaos and health changes.

Menopause symptoms, when unresolved can create worsening health problems as we age.  I’m talking about things like joint issues, cardiovascular issues and for some, Type 2 Diabetes.

Through undertaking my PhD, I discovered that symptoms are reversible when we have a focus on lifestyle changes which are specific to the menopause transition. How we look after ourselves helps our body to adapt to our changing hormonal environment. By addressing the underlying cause of your menopause symptoms, not only can you experience relief from your symptoms, but you can reduce inflammation, setting you up for better health in your older years.

This is what you learn on the MyMT™ programmes – all the scientifically evidenced, step by step lifestyle strategies to help you to understand how to reduce your symptoms and take back control of your health. Read more about How it Works here. 

No matter whether you are on Menopause Hormonal Therapy (MHT) or not, then the MyMT™ programs have lifestyle solutions that help to reduce your hot flushes, improve your sleep, turn around sore joints and muscles, and for those of you who are overweight, the Transform Me program teaches you how to turn around your oestrogen dominance, which is the cause of your menopause weight gain.

My women’s healthy ageing research led me to position menopause in our biological ageing. It’s a natural life-event that all women go through. When I struggled with my own symptoms in menopause, despite taking endless supplements and MHT, I learnt that many women in other cultures don’t experience the symptoms that many women living in western societies experience. 

If you are on MHT, then this is a decision that you have made with your Doctor. Many women go on MHT for reasons other than hot flush management (e.g. to manage osteoporosis risk or heart disease risk or depression), so the decision to go on or even come off your hormone therapy is a decision that you must make with your medical specialist.

If you are confused about whether you have reached menopause or what stage you are in then please start by taking the MyMT™ Symptoms Quiz. With over 500,000 women completing this quiz, I can help you to understand whether your symptoms are menopause related and whether they are severe compared to others. 

If you want to learn a bit more about this stage of life, including why the researchers say it is so important to get on top of your symptoms, then the 2-hour online Masterclass on Menopause* is for you. This is Dr Wendy Sweet’s (PhD) presentation that she was sharing across the globe before the pandemic. She has now recorded it for you, so that you can pause it at any time and come back to it or watch it again and again.
