Menopause Dinners

sara

Menopause is nasty but when you get a group of women together, you get laughter, tears and togetherness which makes it a whole lot easier.    In this podcast each week I tackle a different symptom of the Menopause, not just on my own but with some amazing guests too.  The title also mentions Dinners, there will be food, which we eat, score and discuss the benefits to support.   I share my knowledge so you can learn about your body and understand why things happen the way they do.  And last but not least there is an audience of other menopausal women, like a support group, around the podcasters while talking.   Come and be part of this menopausal ride!

    Menopause & The Pregnancy Diaries Part 2

    Send us Fan Mail Today both myself and guest Kirsten discuss how the impact of miscarrying, baby loss has magnified perimenopause symptoms.   In perimenopause when you are already having a hormonal shift, to experience any type of baby loss can magnitude the feelings and emotions you get.   Your body is trying to adapt and return to its normal period behaviour, but what you do not realise is that at this stage you could be already in perimenopause, due to the change of your follicles.  (this can be from ages of 35 onwards and sometimes sooner) So, mood swings are going to be around and when you are in that grief cycle of loss, the two together just do not go.   How the hell do you cope?  That’s what we discuss today. It wouldn’t be menopause dinners without the food.  Today’s recipe is Tofu Mousse.  Kirsten did struggle to make it a little!  Which did make me laugh, as it came out the wrong texture.  But our guests try the food and mark it, so if you would like to give it a go, why not come back later in the week and when the recipe is released via you tube.  Give it a go and let me know what you think.

    Menopause & The Pregnancy Diaries Part 1

    Send us Fan Mail In today's podcast I am joined by the incredible Kirsten who shares her story,  At the age of 4 she was diagnosed with cancer, she survived but the changes of her body meant that having a baby would be challenging for her.   Years later, Kirsten fell pregnant and this is where the story begins.  This podcast is about miscarriage, baby loss, how you survive, especially during peri menopause when your hormones are already unsettled.  This episode contains sensitive talks around Kirsten’s story which some may find upsetting, but others may find useful in knowing that they are not alone. Part 2 out next Week.

    Mindfulness & Menopause Part 2

    Send us Fan Mail In part 2 we continue with the subject Mindfulness in the Menopause with special guest Ruth Rosselson, a mindfulness instructor.   Not only is Ruth back, we also have an audience who experience a live 15 min meditation that Ruth has kindly put together and you too can join in!  What an incredible way to finish season 2.   There is also the food side, wouldn’t be menopause dinners without this.  Today my meal is Turkey burgers which are incredible and I am sure you will love them!  Full of nutrients, which are great for the menopause.  Tryptophan which is an amino acid that helps serotonin, the feel good factor in the brain.  As you will hear I don’t like Turkey so to create a meal that I enjoy, its yummy!  It’s the last episode of season 2. Do you want a season 3?  Let us know!  What would you like to know more about, hear, maybe you would like one of our guest speakers to return for another chat.  Are you someone that has something to talk about regarding menopause?  Get in touch!
