Transform Me
A ground breaking menopause-specific weight loss and symptom reduction program.
The first focus is turning around your sleep and a condition called ‘oestrogen dominance’ which may be the cause of your weight gain. I teach you everything you need to stop gaining and start losing weight without exhausting exercise, supplements or calorie restriction diets.
Then we move onto your other symptoms such as hot flushes, low energy, brain fog and aching joints.
Coaching support included.
Circuit Breaker
A symptom reduction program designed for thinner/leaner women
To break the circuit of your symptoms, we need to help your body adjust to its new hormonal environment and reduce the build up of inflammation.
The first focus is turning around your sleep, then we move on to your hot flushes, night sweats, low energy, anxiety, irritated gut, aching joints and more.
Coaching support included.
Beyond Menopause
Your roadmap to healthy ageing and disease prevention in post-menopause
Help your body adjust to life without oestrogen and reduce the build-up of internal inflammation which puts you at risk for chronic diseases of aging.
Beyond Menopause is your guide to improved heart health, gut health, brain health, bone health, immune health, mobility, purpose and happiness.
Coaching support included.
Rebuild My Fitness
A menopause and post-menopause specific exercise program
The type of exercise we need as we get older is different. Your 12 week guide to renewed energy, strength, balance, balance, cardiovascular and bone health
Rebuild My Fitness works best after you’ve addressed menopause symptoms or your health with the other Programs.
Suitable for any fitness level.
Coaching support included.
Not sure which program is right for you?
What is included in each program?
Each online coaching program consists of seven modules which get to the heart of your symptoms. You learn what is happening to you with evidence-based information explaining the WHY and then you discover my easy to implement strategies showing you the HOW.
The modules open up progressively each fortnight. A staggered delivery approach is purposeful. The body and brain need time to adapt to the changes we are going to make. If you want to take longer, you can!
There is so much more to the programs than the information you get in each module.
As part of the MyMT™ programs you also receive:
Coaching from Dr Wendy Sweet (PhD) in the MyMT™ Community
The private Facebook group is your opportunity to ask me questions and connect with women all over the world who are going through menopause with MyMT™.
With over 2,000 women from 50 countries in the group, you will never feel alone or confused.
Action Plans
Each video module contains a summary of the 12 easy-to-implement solutions I want you to focus on over that fortnight. I call it the Daily Dozen.
Bonus Modules
You’ll discover why your joints are sore, why you feel dizzy or why your heart health or gut health is changing. For those of you overweight, I’ve also researched the best intermittent fasting routine for midlife women.
Women tell me that they love these bonus modules that help to make sense of their ‘symptoms that they don’t know are symptoms’.
Food Guide and Hundreds of Recipes
The MyMT™ Kitchen provides you with scientifically evidenced nutrition for women’s healthy ageing. The programs are focused on real food specific to your needs in menopause or post-menopause – there are no calorie restriction diets.

Frequently Asked Questions
With MyMT™ you can learn anytime from anywhere, at your own pace.
In your private learning hub, the MyMT™ program of your choice is delivered to you progressively over a 12 week period.
A module is released each fortnight containing an educational webinar, around 60 minutes in length, where I explain why your symptoms are occurring and the lifestyle changes you can make to relieve those symptoms. Each module also contains downloadable PDF summaries with your action plan for the fortnight, as well as bonus articles packed with lots more information and tips.
As part of the program, you also have access to the MyMT™ Food Guide including hundreds of recipes and cooking videos, six bonus videos which focus on managing menopause in your workplace. I also have optional modules for women who are taking HRT or Anti-Depressants, or are having issues with sore joints, gut health or cardiovascular health. My goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to incorporate the changes I suggest.
Even though everything is delivered online, you will not be alone. You will be invited to join my private Facebook coaching group. This is where you can ask me questions about your symptoms and lifestyle, get inspired by others, and read my coaching posts which date back 10 years. Women tell me it’s a treasure trove of information where they can search for answers.
After the 12 weeks finishes, you can continue to access your modules and my support in the Coaching Community with a NZ$12.50* monthly subscription.

I have two main 12 week programs for menopause symptom management – MyMT™ Circuit Breaker is for leaner women and MyMT™ Transform Me is for women who are struggling with menopause weight gain.
Transform Me is a ground-breaking menopause-specific weight loss and wellness program. My first focus is on turning around your sleep and a condition called ‘oestrogen dominance’ which is the cause of your weight gain. Then we move onto other menopause symptoms from there so that you can restore your energy and health. I teach you everything you need to stop gaining and start losing menopause weight without exhausting exercise, supplements or calorie restriction.
With Circuit Breaker we start with turning around your hot flushes/flashes and sleep so that you restore your energy and ‘break the circuit’ of your menopause symptom chaos. From there we address other hormonal imbalance issues caused by diet, stress and modern living.
If you aren’t sure whether you are suited to Circuit Breaker or Transform Me, please take my Symptoms Quiz so that I can help you decide.
If you are in Post-Menopause and are wondering how you can reduce your risk of the common pitfalls of ageing (e.g. osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, brain health conditions), as well as maintain your mobility, strength, balance then Beyond Menopause is for you. Dr Wendy Sweet (PhD) helps you to (re)construct the next chapter of your life so that you can live your ‘best’ life with good health and purpose.
Lastly, my fourth 12-week program, which is just as important as Circuit Breaker and Transform Me, is called MyMT™ Rebuild My Fitness. Re-build My Fitness is a healthy exercise program designed specifically for women during and after menopause where you learn how to rebuild your fitness, strength, balance, bone and joint health with menopause appropriate exercise and activity levels.
This program works best once you have addressed your symptoms. Not only does it help get you exercising again but it introduces healthy habits which help guard against heart disease and stroke, two of the biggest killers for our age group.
We all like to think that what we do is unique, but in the case of MyMT™ I can honestly say that I have been there myself.
As my own health was changing and as my symptoms became worse, I began to understand that if we don’t take back control of our health and symptoms in menopause our post-menopause years are likely to lead to worsening health. My health became my project and I applied my women’s healthy ageing research studies to understand how to turn around menopause symptoms through working with our hormones, not against them.
And now my experience is available for you too! While most lifestyle programs (and menopause supplements too) are not targeted at our changing hormonal environment in menopause, this one is.
My seven modules and support emails have been designed to open progressively to maximise your ability to learn and implement new health strategies step by step. My coaching group is there to keep you on track and motivated, so you don’t fall off the bus.
An online course is no good if you don’t get to the end of it, so this one is designed with your success in mind.
You can read more about my story here. I am also here to support you every step of the way – you can ask me questions at any time, and read 8 years worth of my answers to other women.”
The MyMT™ programs do work, and there are two main reasons for this. Firstly because we teach you unique lifestyle strategies to work with your hormones, not fight against them. And secondly because of our uniquely designed support strategy which spreads your learnings and changing habits over 12 weeks to turn your new learnings into lifelong habits.
But don’t take my word for it, explore the testimonials and success stories from real clients on the MyMT™ website.
And once you join the program ask questions of other women inside the Coaching Group. Either way you will learn that MyMT™ programs are truly life changing – our clients are our greatest advocates.
There are no hormone medications or supplements in the MyMT™ programs, as I focus on turning around your symptoms with lifestyle changes (e.g. nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene etc.).
If you are on menopause hormone therapy [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.
No matter whether you are on MHT or not, 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.
Every bit of research shows that the types of food we eat, and how we eat are critical to our symptom management and our healthy ageing, so food is an important part of the MyMT™ programs. Following the women’s healthy ageing and longevity research, I have centered these programs around the Mediterranean Diet which I have modified to include the essential nutrients for women in midlife.
When you come on this program, you won’t be counting calories or be on a restrictive diet. You will learn about why certain nutrients help to reduce your symptoms, and what whole foods you can eat to get those nutrients.
I know food is such a confusing topic, and every woman is different, so I’m here to support you through these changes. I have a Food Guide which explains the ‘Why’ and then recipes, meal ideas and cooking videos to show you the ‘How’. Women all over the globe are also sharing their meals in the MyMT™ Community every day, so you will never be at a loss for ideas or support.
All you need is a computer or a phone and internet connection. Some women love to listen to the module as they go for a walk, and then print out the summary PDFs later.
You do not need to belong to Facebook to join this program. But if you are a member, this is the best place to access my coaching support.
If I told you that ALL IT TAKES IS ONE HOUR A WEEK to listen to each module when they are delivered to your inbox, and then make a plan to action the strategies, could you find that hour? I hope so, because otherwise you might just need to find time to be sick instead!
As I always say, it’s not a race, and it takes time to turn change into habits. Although the programs are 12 weeks long, you are welcome to move as slowly as you need. After the 12 weeks finishes, you can continue to access your modules and my support in the Coaching Community with a NZ$12.50* monthly subscription.
*[Approx AU$11, US$7.50, CA$10, £6, €7]
The MyMT™ programs all cost NZ$399* each. If you wish to extend your access to the modules after 12 weeks there is a small subscription fee of NZ$12.50** per month.
We have part-payment options*** for you too, where you can pay once per month throughout the 12 week period.
Don’t forget to sign up to my newsletter community at the bottom of this page to be notified of exclusive sales.
*NZ$399 = [* approx. AUS$363/ CAN$324/ US$235/ UK£188/ EUR€220 – exchange rate varies on the day]
** NZ$12.50 fee to continue beyond the 12 week program = *[Approx AU$11, US$7.50, CA$10, £6, €7]
*** The part payment plan requires three monthly payments of NZ $104.67 = [* approx. AU$95, US$64, CA$87, £48, €57]
For as long as you need! Each program lasts for 12 weeks but I always say that it takes a year or more to successfully make a long term change to your habits. Some women are still with me 5 years after they started their journeys.
After 12 weeks, to maintain access to your modules and my coaching support, there is a small monthly fee of NZ$12.50. You can cancel your subscription at any time.
Understanding the stages of menopause
From a biological point of view our menopause transition means that the reproductive hormones, oestrogen
and progesterone, are declining as part of our ageing. We all know that puberty is the life-stage when oestrogen
and progesterone first arrive, so in effect menopause is the opposite or the ‘book-end to puberty’ [Dr Wendy Sweet (PhD)].
As I discovered myself when I reached my early 50s, I realised I didn’t understand what menopause was.
Nor did I fully understand that there were three distinct stages to this transition from our reproductive years
towards our non-reproductive years.
The three stages are:
1. Peri-Menopause
This is when our oestrogen production begins to decline as we lose ovarian receptors for oestrogen.
In most women this begins around 45 yrs. Women still get their periods, but they may fluctuate from light to heavy, or even disappear and re-appear, which depends on numerous factors including stress, over-exercising, weight gain or other health concerns.
2. Menopause
Menopause is when periods cease. The average age globally is 51-52 years.
Women remain in menopause for 1 year, before moving into post-menopause.
3. Post-Menopause
When periods have ceased for a year, women are now entering post-menopause.
Women remain in post-menopause for the rest of their life, so we need to help our body adjust to ‘a life without oestrogen’. Research shows that many women experience some of their symptoms again in their late 50s and 60s, but if this isn’t menopause, then what’s going on? Visit the MyMT™ Beyond Menopause page to learn more.
Some women will have severe symptoms right from perimenopause to post-menopause – sometimes lasting for 10 or more years.
But here’s the thing. Menopause is relatively unique to us as a species. And 100 years ago, it might not have been a problem, simply because we didn’t live very long. With 1 billion women projected to be in menopause by 2025, the world is facing a situation without precedent – we are living longer in post-menopause than ever before.
As I mention in my 2-hr Masterclass on Menopause, your menopause symptoms are your body attempting to compensate for the changing balance between your hormones. Sometimes, those same hormones end up fighting each other instead of adjusting. But every one of your symptoms is reversible if you change some parts of your lifestyle and allow your body to adapt to its ‘new normal.’
This is what MyMT™ teaches you – all the scientifically evidenced lifestyle strategies which help you understand how to work with your changing hormones in menopause and post-menopause, not against them.

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 within 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.
Every day I get emails from women who are thinking about joining me on the MyMT™ programmes, because they feel overwhelmed with night sweats and hot flushes which may also be continuing or returning now that they are beyond menopause.
Understandably, hot flashes have a huge impact on their quality of life, so finding an effective treatment option is paramount for them. However, I am surprised by how many women are already on various hormonal treatments and supplements already.
Clearly, these interventions are not working for them. It’s so perplexing, but as I had this experience too, I now better understand why. So, if this sounds like you, then my BLOG gives you the reasons why your hot flushes aren’t stopping – and most importantly, 8 lifestyle solutions to try as well.
In the Beyond Menopause Program I also explain to you how turning around our cardiovascular health can reduce our Hot Flushes in post-menopause.
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.
To help you reduce your symptoms and/or weight gain, I teach you how to get to the heart of your cellular health with evidenced lifestyle solutions. These ‘health behaviours’ are designed to help your hormones stop fighting each other and adjust to their new hormonal normal.
For example, did you know that the liver changes in volume by up to 40% in menopause? The liver is a critical organ that is responsible for a variety of functions that help support metabolism, immunity, digestion, detoxification and vitamin storage. That’s why I have a whole module dedicated to turning around your liver health.
If we are going to remain healthy throughout our post-menopause years, we need solutions that are easily incorporated into our daily lives. That’s why I take a progressive approach, sending you a module each fortnight with a video explaining the ‘WHY’ and an action plan showing you the ‘HOW’. And I’m here to support you every step of the way in my Coaching Community.
