Wendy Sweet, Ph.D.


Wendy Sweet, Ph.D., is a 30-year veteran of the personal-training industry in New Zealand. She is well known for her contributions to personal trainer education throughout Australia and New Zealand and was the recipient of the Australian Fitness Educator of the Year Award in 2015. She recently completed her doctorate degree, which focused on women who are transitioning through menopause and their experiences in the context of exercise and nutrition advice from health and fitness professionals. From this research, she has developed specific lifestyle-change programs to help women transition through menopause naturally without the need for hormonal therapies. You can find more information about her work at www.mymenopausetransformation.com. You know that the body changes with age, and that a one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t work for all your clients. Understanding how various life stages affect the exercise experience is crucial, particularly if you work with women approaching or in their midlife years. Learn how perimenopause and menopause alter a woman’s response to exercise and how you can design programs that are both effective and enjoyable.
