MyMT™ has helped thousands of women to rediscover their health, vitality and wellness. In this course we teach you how to get results like these yourself.
Are you looking for the confidence to work with women over 40?
Let me put the puzzle pieces together for you.
In this course, I take you on an in-depth journey through the menopause transition, within the context of women’s healthy ageing research.
Week on week I will present the research and then provide you with the solutions you need to help your clients sleep all night, beat their hot flushes, improve their energy, reduce their sore joints, depression, brain fog and ultimately restore their health. Yes…those symptoms can all be caused by menopause, because did you know that women have oestrogen receptors all around the body? From their hair to their muscle fibres, brain and skin. This is why we can relate so many of the symptoms and changes women experience back to their hormonal changes during menopause.
Graduates of this course love that I break down the complex women’s healthy ageing scientific research, and translate it into practical, easy to implement solutions that they can use with their clients straight away.
The menopausal transition is a critical crossroad for a woman entering her older years. This is the time where you can re-direct her down a healthier path.

Setting you up for Success
Through my many years of study, I have pulled together the most up to date women’s healthy ageing research AND translated the research into practical, easy to implement solutions for your clients. Women on the MyMT™ programmes tell me they can incorporate these solutions like second nature…. which makes them more sustainable over the long term.
Not only is every single strategy evidenced against women’s healthy ageing lifestyle science, but it is also aligned with the cardiovascular, cancer and metabolic syndrome research specific to midlife women. You can be assured that the advice you are providing to your clients will set them on the right pathway to remain healthy into their older years.
Because I place menopause within the context of women’s healthy ageing research, you will learn about so much more than menopause. Past graduates tell me that this course unexpectedly helped them with other clients who need support with diabetes, hypertension, autoimmune conditions, arthritis and more.
All of my lifestyle solutions are already being proven by the thousands of women who have restored their health, vitality and energy through the MyMT™ programmes over the past 8 years. Throughout the course I present numerous real life case studies to you. I guarantee that you will be able to relate their experiences back to your clients.
Throughout the course you have several opportunities to put your learning into practice with my guidance and support. You will learn about the risk stratification questions you should be asking to design a Menopause Screening Form and then work with a real life Case Study Client. Past practitioners love it when we come together at the end of the course to get feedback on their progress, as each case study client is so different.
I am with you every step of the way. Not only can you connect with me in the MyMT™ Education Coaching Community (private Facebook Group), but each fortnight I meet with your class over Zoom so that we can dive deeper into certain topics and I can answer your questions. I will also give you personal feedback on your Screening Form and Case Study Client.
Special bonus module – ‘The Business of Menopause’ – How should you go about incorporating your new knowledge into your business? In this bonus module, I share my secrets on how to attract, retain, sustain and succeed with midlife clients. Including, case studies from my own clients to prepare you for tricky or complex clients.
As a graduate of this course, you will have the opportunity to grow your business by applying to be a MyMT™ Affiliate Partner. This means lots of exciting things, such as earning commission, exclusive access to additional resources, marketing support and more.

There is something in this course for everyone
I am always delighted to see the breadth and depth of specialties in the course. Each practitioner has such a different reason for wanting to further their knowledge in the menopause space, but together we have a common goal – ‘We Are For Her.’

Course Outline
"I am passionate about guiding and supporting you. I love bringing all of my knowledge in physiology, exercise, nutrition and women’s health management into an online education environment."
During Week 1 I introduce you to the relevance of menopause in relation to women’s health and ageing evidence and explain why the menopause transition is so important for women’s health.
We will also delve into the history of menopause, including why it has been medicalised. During this module I will challenge the current menopause medicalisation paradigm with lifestyle solutions. I can’t wait for you to learn what I did.
In Week 1 you will also join me for our first live workshop, where you will meet your fellow classmates and I will answer your Week 1 questions.
Week 2 and 3 is all about menopause physiology and hormonal physiology. We will explore the three stages that women transition through in midlife as the ovarian function declines – perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause. At the end of Week 3, you will be able to describe the major physiological changes and symptom changes at each stage and identify common disorders of the HPA – Thyroid Axis in relation to menopause changes. |
Part 1: We will talk through the key complementary and alternative menopause supplement solutions that your clients might be taking and how these could affect their health through menopause.
Part 2: Women in menopause need tailored risk stratification pre-screening processes. I explain the important pre-screening questions you should be asking your clients and you will also learn how you can ethically and responsibly bridge the gap between your client and their GP based on their risk stratification.
Have you tried endless diets with your clients which don’t reduce their menopause symptoms and/or don’t work in the long term? Nutritional type and timing are crucial for your client’s symptom management. Diets may destroy the hormones which help to manage appetite, fullness and long-term health. For numerous women who have lived busy, stressful lives over many years, this may have led to a disturbance of the factors that influence their eating patterns and behaviours. In Week 5 we cover the specific nutrients evidenced to reduce menopause symptoms and why you need to adapt your approach for leaner women and overweight women. The factors affecting women’s food choices during menopause in relation to hormonal changes are also important to understand, so you can foster successful behaviour change. |
From Week 8, trainees are required to start working with a case study client, whilst on the course. This will enable you to integrate the MyMT™ menopause strategies into practice with confidence, with my support.
To prepare you for your case study client, I will share examples of the most common questions that women ask on the MyMT™ programmes. Furthermore, because there are no ‘magic pills’ in MyMT™’s Programmes, behaviour change strategies are critical for transforming your client’s symptoms and health. Behaviour change is rarely a discrete, single event – it is a process that requires nurturing and problem-solving every step of the way. During Week 6 we will explore TTM Theory, Motivational Theory and Self-efficacy Theory in the context of women in menopause. We will also go through some real-life problem-solving examples from Women in my MyMT™ Community.
A lack of sleep exacerbates women’s symptoms, and can lead to high insulin levels, weight gain, worsening hot flushes, increased inflammation and much more. It’s vital that this symptom is addressed first with women. In this module, we will explore the circadian rhythm’s role in sleep regulation and why this gets out of balance during menopause. Then, we will walk through MyMT™’s proven strategies for assisting women to sleep all night.
Hot flushes occur because the body’s thermostat does not function as well when it is deprived of oestrogen. It also becomes worse when melatonin (sleep hormone) is reduced with the changing hormonal environment too. Learn about why hot flushes occur and the MyMT™ strategies for assisting women to reduce their hot flushes and night sweats.
Never before has our liver and gut had to cope with so many changing foods, toxins, drinks, chemicals and ingredients. The liver and gut accumulate inflammation over our lifetime. Fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, depression and other menopause symptoms including weight management problems are partly due to changing liver and gut health in mid-life.
After you understand why the liver and gut are so important in menopause symptom management you will be able to better understand the role of oestrogen changes which impact energy levels in women. In this module we discuss whether it is adrenal fatigue or peri-menopause causing exhaustion in your clients and I teach you the MyMT™ strategies for assisting women to turn around their liver health and energy levels.
I can’t wait to share this module with you. It is one of my favourites.
Part 1: This module isn’t ‘just’ about psychological stress. It’s also about the internal environment of the body and how women’s cells and tissues also become ‘stressed’. Internal stress in our tissues and fat cells is called oxidative stress and causes numerous inflammatory changes that can lead to worsening health problems as we age.
A women’s mid-life years are the perfect time to re-address her stress. In this fabulous module, I draw on the rapidly emerging stress research and teach you how to re-address your client’s stress.
Part 2: Lifestyle solutions for women on HRT – Whilst there is no interference in any medications women are on, this information may help you to support their medication choices specific to HRT with evidenced lifestyle solutions.
Now that you understand how to turn around your client’s menopause symptoms, how should you bring your passion to life?
In this module I introduce you to the business of menopause – sharing examples from my experiences pioneering the Personal Training Industry in New Zealand and founding My Menopause Transformation.
We will dive into ‘the HOW’ – including how to generate leads, how to start out with digital marketing and how to generate sales in an increasingly competitive menopause market.
The last week is a chance for us to reflect on your journey and share your progress with your case study client. Graduates tell me that this is one of their favourite parts of the course as they learn so much from each other.
Together we will do some problem solving and plan for your future as a menopause specialist or MyMT™ Affiliate Practitioner.

Over the past decade, MyMT™ has enabled women to ‘get their life back’. Globally, we now sell these programmes into 50+ countries.
However, one of the challenges I have, is that numerous women need local, one-on-one support to adhere to the lifestyle changes that I suggest. This is where you come in. I want to help you grow your business with your new niche. Instead of women joining me for support, you become ‘me’ and coach and support them through the MyMT™ 12-week programmes (Transform Me and Circuit Breaker).
So what does this involve? Not only will you earn a commission from each programme sale, but we also have lots of other exciting opportunities for our Affiliate Community, such as email coaching from me, branded promotional material, a bonus module on the business of menopause, discounts on new courses and so much more.
Once you have graduated from the Menopause Practitioner Course, you may be invited to apply to become a MyMT™ Affiliate. At this stage we are looking to take on one Affiliate in a region / state.
In the inaugural year of the course, it is being offered at a discounted price of U.S $1,495.
A part payment option is also available for U.S $550 (three monthly installments)
How do we guarantee a measurable return on your investment in our training?
This cost is based on the fact that most experienced health professionals would be able to recuperate the cost of this course by the time they work with 2-3 clients on a one-on-one basis through 12 weeks of coaching.
In fact, some of our graduates, who have gone on to become MyMT™ Affiliates have recuperated the cost of their course almost immediately by coaching groups of women through the MyMT™ programmes. While doing so, they have also attracted lots of new clients to their business.
There are no supplements or medications provided in MyMT™’s programmes, as this is between women and their Doctors. Menopause is a natural event, so to unravel women’s symptoms, MyMT™ uses scientifically evidenced lifestyle solutions.
MyMT™ takes a holistic approach to menopause – looking at a woman over the course of her lifetime. You will be able to show your client how the effects of her current and past lifestyle, have contributed to her symptoms.
All of these lifestyle solutions are still relevant, and proven, for women who are using menopause hormonal medication/therapies.
Meet your Coach
Hi, I’m Dr Wendy Sweet (PhD), a women’s healthy ageing researcher and the founder of My Menopause Transformation. I am so excited to bring you this course, which is a culmination of all of the different aspects of my career.
For over 30 years I have been involved in New Zealand’s health and exercise industry. Although my original career was as an ICU nurse, I re-trained in Sports & Exercise Science and pioneered the Personal Training industry in New Zealand. Once I left the fitness industry, I returned to education and not only was I lecturing in sport, exercise, nutrition and health physiology, but I was so interested in how to help midlife women change their lifestyle behaviour, that I undertook my master’s studies in this area.
Then I went on to do my doctoral studies. My desire was to better understand how women perceived their ageing and the role of exercise in ageing during the menopause transition. I am so pleased that I did.
