Menopause isn't just about hot flushes
- Are you waking up night after night and exhaustion follows you through your day?
- Are you frustrated by your increasing weight despite dieting and exercising?
- Do you miss the confidence of being pain free and not worrying about your joint/muscle aches and recurring injuries?
- Are you now experiencing dizziness, brain fog or feeling more anxious than you used to?
- Are you on menopause HRT or supplements but they aren’t giving you the relief that they once did?
- Despite wanting to help yourself, do you suddenly lack the energy and motivation to put changes into place?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, and are starting to worry about your future health, then welcome, you are in the right place now.
Menopause is not a disease. But it is a stage of life where changing hormone levels can trigger other health problems. You may benefit from a reset and refocus on your changing health as you move towards your post-menopause years.
If you have arrived in midlife (early 40s – late 60s) you are now in a completely different hormonal environment, as your body prepares for its biological ageing. You may know that the decline in oestrogen and progesterone during midlife contributes to symptoms. But, have you ever been told why? And have you ever been informed that there are natural, lifestyle solutions that are scientifically evidenced to relieve your symptoms?
No? Neither had I.
Hi, I’m Dr Wendy Sweet (PhD), a Women’s Healthy Ageing Researcher and Educator from New Zealand.
Despite decades of knowledge from formerly working as a nurse, working in the health and fitness industry and lecturing at a University level on physiology, nutrition and exercise science, my menopause transition hit me hard! Like many women I was spending a huge amount of money on various supplements, hormone medications and Doctor’s visits, however, these did nothing for my weight, cholesterol, aching muscles and my confidence that I would ‘age-well’.
At this time, I was also undertaking my doctoral studies in women’s health and ageing. My study participants I interviewed told me similar stories, but not one of them mentioned menopause.
With oestrogen receptors located throughout the body – in the joints, muscles, liver and skin, as well as in the blood vessels, brain and fat cells – we often experience health changes that we don’t associate with menopause. That’s why I often tell women that ‘menopause isn’t just about hot flushes’.
My studies led me towards understanding that our symptoms don’t have to define us. I learnt that there are numerous women globally living in countries that don’t experience the symptoms or weight gain that many western women do.
Wouldn’t you love to know about this?! If so, then my online Masterclass on Menopause is for you.
Your time is now. Empower yourself to take back control of your health today.

Your Menopause Questions Answered
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:
- 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. - 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.

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.
