In this weeks podcast Jinty and Lou chat to Lou Thomalla-Davey about her personal journey through infertility. We discover the great imbalance of the NHS postcode lottery when you are a stepparent. The Book Collective is well underway with Three Women. Jinty is so frustrated with what guest Lou tells us she has researched with some shocking results. We start our new foodie month with the topic of Brain Food to help keep our brains healthy and Brain fog at bay. When Lou Thomalla-Davey, stepparent to 3 children, put a video on her social media page she didn’t expect the out pouring of emotion and support from people not realising the injustice of the NHS fertility program in the UK. Our guest talks openly about the lack of funding on the NHS for fertility treatment, the injustice of the NHS postcode lottery for both men and women is quite shocking, it is so definite that just living on the wrong street in a town can change your opportunity to be considered for fertility treatment, it’s not just whether you have step children, but there is so much other criteria that women have to meet to be able to be considered for IVF, weight and age! Lou T-D started a petition to sign to help raise awareness and force the conversation in Parliament, details of how to sign in the show notes. Jinty feels frustrated with what guest Lou has gone through and does her own research which unravels a whole plethora of short sightedness within CCG’s for IVF. 1:6 couples in the UK are living with fertility issues and are struggling to get help with their fertility. The Book Collective continues with Three Women by Lisa Taddeo and we get to know the characters, the injustice with Maggie and her teacher, the gang rape of Lina and why we can’t wait for Sloane’s back-story to unravel. The Foodie Collective this month is Brain Food, how the importance of a good diet can help brain function not only in the present but may help us prevent Alzheimer’s or Dementia.This month the Collective delve into The 30-day Alzheimer’s Solution cookbook for recipes and start with a butternut squash and chickpea curry (where they go off pisté yet again) Lou confesses her WI fail this week…much to Jinty’s disappointment and shaking of heads but promises to try harder next week…And we are given a new Weekly Invitation from a lovely Womenkind Collective listener, what will it be???
