MyMT™ Menopause Practitioner Course

Are you looking for the confidence to work with women in midlife and beyond?

Midlife is a confusing time. Not only for women, but for us as health professionals because the things we have done to help our clients manage their health in the past, suddenly no longer work as well in midlife.

Hi, my name is Dr Wendy Sweet (PhD), a women’s healthy ageing researcher and founder of My Menopause Transformation.

Most health professionals joining me on this course are just like I was. Despite all our knowledge, when we arrive in midlife our body takes on a life of its own and our health outlook becomes very concerning. Or, we see it in our clients. For me, waking night after night, endless hot flushes, aching muscles and 15kg of weight gain left me very concerned ���Ǻ��� my health.

So, we set to work. Spending hours researching and hundreds of dollars trialling products… but we often come to a dead end because of the lack of scientific information specific to midlife women, or conflicting opinions based on generic solutions.

After months of research, I realised that nobody was taking a ‘whole-body’ approach to menopause symptoms. Furthermore, with menopause management situated in the medical and pharmaceutical paradigm, I also realised that I hadn’t seen any research on lifestyle science solutions.

I made it my mission to put the puzzle pieces together. When I presented my PhD, I argued that no-one was looking at menopause hormonal changes within the context of the ageing female body. Furthermore, each symptom was being looked at in isolation… but the body and the hormones don’t work in isolation.

When we take a holistic view, we can understand that there are oestrogen receptors located all around the body, so in a low oestrogen environment many of the major organs are affected. Coupled with the changes our body is experiencing due to ageing, midlife is the perfect storm for health chaos.

But my studies, and now the thousands of women on the MyMT™ programs, have proven that there are evidence based lifestyle solutions that can relieve symptoms. We just need to get to the root cause – our cellular health.

With 1.2 billion women forecast to be in menopause by 2030, there has never been so much demand for health professionals who are trained in the unique complexities of the menopause transition.

Would you like to learn how to relieve your client’s exhaustion, insomnia, hot flushes, sore joints, brain fog, anxiety… and set them up to age well into post-menopause? Would you like to help them improve their quality of life? If so, this comprehensive, evidence-based, menopause practitioner course is for you. It’s everything you need to set yourself up as a menopause specialist.

MyMT™ Menopause Weight Loss Coach

Have you ever wondered why, when menopause arrives, the weight loss strategies we have been taught no longer seem to work?

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 I have 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 ���Ǻ��� 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.

MyMT Menopause Coach Certification

Become A Menopause Coach

The secret to successful behaviour change is truly understanding your client cohort
To achieve sustainable and positive health behaviours, evidence suggests that for those people who desire these changes, support in behaviour change techniques that promote self-efficacy, self-determination and self-responsibility, are an important determinant for ‘success’. (Robinson & Morrow, 2016)

But, clients also need more than ‘just support’ to change their health behaviours. They need Health Coaches and Practitioners who have the knowledge, understanding and empathy specific to the stage of life that they are in – their menopause transition.

This is the purpose of this introductory Menopause Health Coach course.

The menopause transition is not only a time of reproductive changes, but changing health, including mental, cardiovascular, joint and metabolic health. This is because declining oestrogen and progesterone levels have a powerful impact on other parts of the body, including the liver, muscles, blood vessels, fat and brain cells.

It is now well researched that many of these health changes respond positively to lifestyle modification, which as a Health Coach, you are central to supporting them with. But how do we support women to make lifestyle changes when the behavioural research confirms they lack time, energy and motivation?

Understanding the physiological and psychological changes midlife women experience allows you as a Health Coach to not only be empathetic to their needs, but to coach behaviour change strategies from an evidence-based framework.

‘Medicine & the Mind-Brain-Body Connection: a GP Education Series’

New CPD Course Launched looking at the Mind-Brain-Body Connection for Resolving Nervous-System-Rooted Chronic Conditions

Living Proof is excited to announce the launch of their new CPD-accredited online course for GPs and other healthcare professionals on the neuroplastic (or mind-body) approach to health and recovery.

The stats tell us that upwards of 40% of UK GP visits relate to chronic symptoms such as persistent pain, fatigue and digestive problems, that often do not respond well to conventional medical treatments.

Neuroscience now evidences that these symptoms are often rooted in nervous system dysregulation and can respond well to a neuroplastic/mind-body approach.

Our new course, developed and presented by our Medical Advisor, Dr Sarah Hadfield (GP and Mind-body Practitioner), and CPD-accredited by the ���Ǻ���, aims to:

• support GPs & other healthcare practitioners to better understand the root causes of ‘hard to treat’ chronic conditions;

• support practitioners in recognising and diagnosing neurophysiological or ‘mind-body’ conditions;

• offer advice and guidance to practitioners on supporting and signposting patients with these conditions, through a neuroplastic/mind-body approach.

Course format: 3-part video series plus short written articles

Course duration: approx 1.5 hours

Cost: £30 standard rate, or £25 for ���Ǻ��� members. Group rates are also available for groups of practitioners working together in a clinical setting. Please contact Living Proof directly at hello@livingproof.org.uk for more information on group purchase options, or for any other questions ���Ǻ��� the course.
