Why our hormones in peri and menopause make our gut and food choices change.\nWe learn that we have oestrogen receptors throughout our body, including our gut.\n\nWe discuss intermittent fasting and breaking our bad food habits and creating new ones, and how this will benefit our gut, and consequently will improve our wellbeing.\nEmma tells us how we might begin to go about changing our diets and lifestyles, some of which will surprise you!\n\n\nThe book Collective this week starts with part 1 and 2 of Glennon Doyle’s Untamed and this book is already resonating with Jinty & Lou.\n\nJinty talks about how we hide our real self and expectation. As women we can lose ourselves and be who we think we should be rather than who we really are. Lou talks about how All feelings are for feeling, it’s not just happy it’s all emotions that should be felt, being true to self and learning to feel. \nJinty ponders on Glennon’s ‘knowing’ and how it is just like Yoga- learning to recognise truths and be aware of what is happening ‘right now’. \n\nWe know this book will speak to many in the Collective. Let us know how you are getting on with it? We would really love to hear your thoughts.\n\nWe have 3 wonderful tips for life from Emma Ellice-Flint, staying with our Foodie collective theme of gut health. You will want to hear these.\n\nMuch gratitude to Emma for spending the morning with us, we hope she will be back soon. \n& thank you for listening, if you enjoyed this episode please share with friends, this, in itself, is an act of kindness. \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.
