All Good in the Sisterhood

Welcome to another episode of All Good in the Sisterhood!

This week I am joined by Jodie Abrahams and we are chatting about nutrition in the pre and postnatal phase. 

Selfishly, I wanted to pick Jodie's brain as I know many of my clients struggle to find the correct advice when it comes to nutrition.  It can be very confusing!

Jodie keeps it simple and succinct in this chat.  We go through the key nutrients and supplements that will help you thrive during pregnancy and postnatal and she offers us some simple and delicious recipes that you can incorporate into your busy day!

This is really a jumping off point and I would encourage you to book in for a consultation with Jodie if you wanted to know more and work with someone at a more individual level.

A little bit more about Jodie:

Welcome back to another episode of 'All Good in The Sisterhood'.

This week we are joined by Kat Wilson and we will be chatting about a condition called 'Vaginismus.'

Kat is the co-founder of 'The Vaginismus Network', which was set up with Lisa Mackenzie when they connected through Kat's blog.

Kat started her blog 'Hey Vaginismus!' in 2015, after years of feeling alone, embarrassed and ashamed. Her main goal was to meet one other person with vaginismus. Since meeting Lisa, and founding the Network, Kat has lost count of the number of people she has met who have vaginismus, and remains passionate about the power of connecting with others and sharing our stories. Kat is keen to speak about vaginismus to anyone that will listen and has told her story on podcasts and media interviews, as well as to health professionals and students. However, her biggest achievement is shaking off the shame that she once felt. She hopes, through engaging with the Vaginismus Network, that others can do the same.

In this episode, I chat to Laura Taylor about Sound Healing.   Laura is a Bristol based sound therapy practitioner. Drawing upon her own experiences with mental health and eating disorders, Laura facilitates sound therapy as a way of guiding you to reconnect to your physical body and that which is within.

Hello and welcome back to another episode of All Good in The Sisterhood.

It's been a while! Things got pretty hectic last year and I had to take a step back from the pod, but we are back baby!

In this episode we are joined by Kelly McNulty, a PHD student from Northumbria University, investigating the effect of the menstrual cycle and hormonal contraceptive use on performance, recovery, and adaptation in sportswomen.

Kelly's instagram @theperiodoftheperiod aims to change the narrative for women's health and performance in sport&exercise through awareness, evidence-based education and support.  Her podcast of the same name has incredible episodes covering a range of women's health topics, so I would highly recommend a listen to this too!
