Understand What’s Really Happening Inside Your Midlife Body

If teaching suddenly feels harder, sleep feels lighter, or recovery feels slow, you’re not alone. Many instructors enter perimenopause without realising that the changes they notice have a clear physiological cause.

This workshop explains the why behind common symptoms. Dr Wendy Sweet (PhD) takes you through the shifts happening in your muscles, cardiovascular system, gut, and liver during the menopause transition, and how these changes shape your energy, training tolerance, and recovery.

Wendy’s strength is that she understands this work from the inside. She was a group exercise instructor herself, so her strategies are tailored to real teaching loads and real class demands. You’ll leave with practical ways to support your energy, reduce hot flushes, improve sleep, and recover well from your classes.
