Shala opening

In this week’s podcast we carry on our food and health theme for this month with our guest, Marcelle Rose, a registered nutritionist and health coach who specialises in binge eating, bulimia, emotional eating and yo-yo dieting. It’s been a difficult week in the news and we ask why, in the UK now, there is a greater prison sentence for pulling down a statue than there is for rape! We’re furious that our right to protest is now under threat. In the Book Collective we continue with the magnificent The Female Lead, We Rise By Lifting Others by Edwina Dunn. We’re still on Veganuary and today we cook up Sticky Tofu from Dr Gemma Newman’s cookbook, The Plant Power Doctor.   Marcelle Rose is a registered nutritionist and health coach she specialises in helping women beat binge eating, bulimia, emotional eating and yo-yo dieting so they can make peace with their body and heal their relationship with food. For many women this is a transformational experience, so they are able to live life to the fullest. We learn about the artificial sweetener lie, why many people binge eat, how we can stop the yo-yo dieting. Can the menopause and hormonal changes effect our digestion? We get all the answers from Marcelle in this no-holds-barred interview full of facts and useful tips to help you break the diet cycle. We also ask Marcelle what her ‘significant object’ is.  In the Book Collective we continue reading The Female Lead, We Rise By Lifting Others by Edwina Dunn, in this week’s read we meet Dr Jasvinder Sanghera, founder of Karma Nirvana and learn of her fight for women not wanting to enter into arranged marriages, there’s the inspiring Joyce Banda, president of Malawi whose education program for girls has now enrolled 6,500 females into education. We meet Kathrine Switzer the first woman to officially run the Boston marathon, only because they didn’t realise she was female! There are so many others in this truly amazing book.   For the Foodie,Lou cooks up Sticky Tofu from a recipe in Dr Gemma Newman’s cookbook, The Plant Power Doctor. Thankfully it’s a triumph with Jinty! There’s some great tips on the best ways to cook tofu.   The WI is still Lou doing Veganuary…how is she doing? She spills the beans on what it’s like to miss her milky tea’s!    You can catch Marcelle’s full interview along with our other guests on our Womenkind Collective YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFgmHLcdx28eco-XlkWYwUA  Marcelle Rose, BANT Registered Nutritionist ® & Health Coach Digestive Health, Emotional Eating & Eating Disorder Specialist NCFED Master Practitioner Website:www.marcellerosenutrition.co.uk Follow on Facebook Follow on Instagram   Today’s Recipe: Ingredients: Tofu 1 block of firm tofu.
