Let’s talk about Transforming Life after Menopause with Wendy Sweet.

 

“Forget about menopause,” my guest on this episode, Dr. Wendy Sweet, urges us to focus on ageing, and the issue of ‘inflammaging’”.

I caught up with Dr. Wendy Sweet, founder of the hugely successful My Menopause Transformation, online lifestyle-change programs for Peri to Post-Menopause for symptom reduction, weight loss and fitness.

We first connected about six years ago, over a pot of the hormone-free natural balm I make for vulvovaginal dryness, and it was great to reconnect again.

Her programmes are helping women around the world, and in this interview she touches on some of the reasons why.

After many years of researching women’s health and the impacts of the menopause transition on our physiology and wellbeing, Wendy bucks the trend of ideas of the way we should exercise and eat at this time of life.

Wendy believes the answer to good health in our postmenopausal years doesn’t lie in focusing on weight training and protein, but rather on a more moderate approach to exercise, a solid understanding of the foods that help us at this time of life, and the importance of getting a good night’s sleep. This approach can help us reduce inflammation and open the door to an active and empowered ageing after menopause.

Personally, I love to talk with someone who is donkey deep in the science of a topic and right on top of the latest research around it. It’s clear that Wendy has a deep understanding of the changes we go through as women in midlife.

I hope you enjoy what she has to say, and perhaps go further and take a look at her website, mymenopausetransformation.com
