Menopause Lifestyle Practitioner Course
The MyMT™ Menopause Lifestyle Practitioner Course is widely regarded as one of the most comprehensive and empowering certifications available for health professionals who want to support women through midlife and beyond.
While menopause conversations are often dominated by pharmaceutical solutions, this course offers a different path forward, in lifestyle science. It is the only menopause and women’s health certification in the world approved by the World Lifestyle Medicine Organisation (WLMO), a recognition that reflects the depth and rigour of Dr Wendy Sweet’s (PhD) research into menopause within the context of lifestyle medicine.
Over the past decade Wendy has coached more than 20,000 women across 50 countries, and everything she has learned from that experience is woven into this 12-week CPD certified course.
By the time you graduate you will be confident and qualified to explain the physiological and psychological changes occurring throughout midlife, determine a women’s stage of menopause, explain how a women’s lifestyle and life-course are contributing to her symptoms, tailor your risk factor screening processes, run symptom reduction programs using lifestyle change solutions, tailor your advice for peri to post-menopause, use behaviour change techniques specific to midlife women and so much more.
Graduates describe it as the missing piece they had been searching for, and a complete roadmap to women’s health. This is because Wendy does not just teach the science. She translates it into practical solutions that work for busy, exhausted women.

Menopause Weight Loss Coach Course
It is well known that the menopause transition may result in adverse metabolic consequences in women, especially those women putting on weight. Given that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in post-menopausal women, the importance of weight management in midlife cannot be overemphasized.
That’s why Dr Wendy Sweet (PhD) has designed this essential course for any health or exercise professional working with midlife and older women.
Did you know that women who have deep visceral fat, produce excess oestrogen in fat cells, that the liver then has to try to remove and that you can help this process through the correct exercise for liver function? Did you know that the effect of skeleto-muscular changes cause the reduction and loss of mitochondrial activity during menopause, which reduces the ability of muscles to oxidise or ‘burn-fat’? Did you know that sleep is affected by menopause hormonal changes, and if your clients aren’t sleeping, then weight loss is harder to achieve?
Knowledge about fat loss has traditionally been underpinned by physiology, nutrition and exercise prescription. But the unique hormonal environment during menopause changes everything. Our knowledge must now include behavioural, biological, social and environmental considerations specific to midlife and ageing.
That is why this course explores so much more than just hormonal physiology. You will come away with an understanding of the unique changes occurring in the liver, gut, brain and muscles that contribute to weight gain, as well as the scientifically-evidenced exercise and nutrition prescription for weight loss and muscle mass maintenance.
Which means you’re not only going to be able to help your clients lose weight, but you will see them turn around their energy, sore joints, mood and much more.
