This week’s guest is the wonderful Jane Simpson, author of The Pelvic Floor Bible.Jane is starting a pelvic floor revolution & we love it, she talks to us about Pelvic Floor dysfunction which can lead to varying types of incontinence, prolapse, constipation &more, particularly in menopause. Breaking news- You don’t have to put up with it!Jane Simpson is a continence nurse specialist and has had her own private practice for more than 20 years where she treats patients with all forms of pelvic floor dysfunction. Do you ever pee a little bit when you laugh, cough or sneeze? Are you getting up during the night to go to the toilet? All these things could be symptoms of your oestrogen beginning to deplete in peri menopause….and it won’t go away on its own!Jane answers questions from the Collective, we learn why pelvic floor exercises are so important but are you doing them correctly?We talk about the pelvic floor revolution that needs to happen in the UK, about pelvic floor care after pregnancy and why this will help you during the menopause.No Taboos are left unturned here - we also talk Bowels, Wind, Prolapse & Sex. Find out what you can do if you already have a pelvic floor dysfunction or how you may prevent one.Honestly ALL folks need to hear what Jane has to say.The Book Collective continue reading ‘Untamed’ by Tarana Burke, a beautiful and honest memoir from the founder of the MeToo movement. We talk about low histamine food in this Menopause month in the Foodie CollectiveThere’s a movie review for the Collective for No Time To Die, but does the movie pass the Bechdel test ? A new era for Bond? We discuss. As we come to the end of our WI, we ask the Collective if they have a new WI for us! We progress through the thought provoking ‘Untamed’ by Tarana Burke we learn about how she survived her teenage years in the Bronx and her first insight into being a leader and a woman with a voice. There’s a beautiful moment when Tarana finds her voice when the class talk about Maya Angelou’s Phenomenal Woman a pivotal moment in her life. We went to the movies and watched the latest James Bond film, No Time To Die. We absolutely loved it! As two women bought up with Bond, the latest film shone out from the old misogyny of Bond, a cast of strong capable women that did not need a man to come to their rescue, let’s hope we are in a new era for this evocative character. The Foodie Collective discuss histamine intolerance, the symptoms are so similar to the Menopause and if you have a histamine intolerance Jinty goes through the food you can and cannot eat with an analogy from Dr Sarah Ball. (Recipe on our Instagram profile). As we come to the end of our WI 16 sea swims for Women’s Aid, we ask if there is weekly invite or challenge you would like to give us, although Jinty has flatly refused crocheting.Thank you to everyone who has donated to our challenge every penny will help women out of abusive relationships.Jane’s book - https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Jane-Simpson/The-Pelvic-Floor-Bible--Everything-You-Need-to-Know-to-Pr/23566588?wgu=10671_187205_16341334622279_81511549ef&wgexpiry=1641909462&utm_source=webgains&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_campaign=187205Histamine intolerance resource https://d2931px9t312xa.cloudfront.net/menopausedoctor/files/information/472/Histamine%20Intolerance%20addition.pdfDr Tina Peers https://www.drtinapeers.com/histamine-intoleranceEmma Ellice-Flints low histamine cookbook https://shop.emmasnutrition.com/collections/all/products/low-histamine-cookbook?variant=39663531425989Hollie Guard safety app for women https://hollieguard.com/Thank you for listening If you enjoyed it please leave a review and share.
