The hot flushes and lack of libido are only the tip of the iceberg.\nJinty and Lou talk honestly about the symptoms of the menopause. \nMany women are misdiagnosed and treated by their GP’s for other illnesses when actually their symptoms are caused by their reduced sex hormones.\n \nJinty finds out where the word ‘berk’ comes from, shall we just say that it’s Cockney rhyming for Berkshire Hunt…. this then leads on to where the word vagina comes from and it opens up a whole can of worms!\n \nThe Book Collective begin the first few chapters of Three Women by Lisa Taddeo there are tears from the Collective as the stories of the 3 women unravel.\nThe Wine Collective get stuck into this months wine, Primivito a vegan organic wine from Tesco’s and Jinty sips a Seedlip 108, both are delicious and go very well with this weeks Foodie Collective.\nThe Food Collective are still on their no cook month with a gorgeous easy hummus recipe that goes a little too well with the Primivito!\n \nOur 3 tips for life come from a beautiful woman from the Collective who has some thoughtful tips that we can live by.\n \nAnd Lou reports back on her WI from Emma Ellice-Flint.\n\n If you’ve enjoyed this podcast we would love it if you could buy us a Ko-Fi, you can also find extra content, photos, and updates.
