Life changing bread recipe – as on BBC radio GLOS
I love sharing healthy recipes on the BBC radio Gloucestershire. Here is the recipe for ‘life changing bread’.
Eating bread and cake may sound like a great way to help cope with weight loss and balancing hormones. I call it cake as it can be made sweet or savoury – but I guess it is more like a bread then a cake. This has been modified from the original HRT cake recipe inspired by menopause expert Abbie James. We run workshops together and this is always a winner at retreat days. It is not only beneficial for menopausal women. It is a great recipe for the entire family.
This cake is very special and is low glycaemic, low is sugar and packed with calcium and magnesium. It can be made grain free, dairy free, sugar free and vegan friendly.
A slice a day is fantastic for all areas of your health. You can also switch out any ingredients you don’t have. The version I made for Dom on the BBC radio had coconut flour instead of wholewheat and it works just as well.
It freezes well too.
Batch cook several loaves and freeze so you have it handy when you run out.

- 2 ¼ cups wholewheat/buckwheat/rice or other flour
- 2 pieces stem ginger, chopped

Focusing on your digestion and gut health is paramount to creating lasting health and hormonal balance. When your organs are functioning well, your menopause symptoms will be less. The liver and the digestive organs need to be in good shape to avoid inflammation, irritability and hot flushes.
Nowadays, the gastrointestinal tract is sadly neglected, impacting how we feel, how well we sleep and how good we feel about ourselves.
As a nutritionist, I’ve seen some of the symptoms experienced by sluggish digestion including; bloating, skin issues, tiredness, lack of enthusiasm, hot flushes, food cravings, bad wind, bad breath, headaches, constipation and IBS. Do you see any correlation between these symptoms and your menopause symptoms?
The good news is, I’ve also seen how great you can feel when you look after your digestive system.
Here is a list of easy to follow ways that will improve your digestion. Implementing just some of these will help you reap the rewards with better health, increased vitality and a smoother menopause.

The 2019 Dirty Dozen
The 2019 Dirty Dozen is here! Environmental Working Group (EWG) released the newest list of the conventionally grown fruits and veggies that contain the most pesticides in the US, and the UK have adopted these guidelines over the last few years. Even though our farming regulations might be slightly different, I think that this list is still a good guideline. I suggest choosing organic as often as possible, but if you’re on a budget or your selection is limited, The Dirty Dozen List will help you focus your attention on avoiding the most contaminated fruits and veggies.
