We also review new vegan picnic food from Squeaky Bean and Molly tries to convince us that BBQing in the rain is perfectly acceptable.In part two, plant-based dietician Lisa Simon joins us to discuss male and female fertility. Lisa shares her own struggle with painful endometriosis and subsequent fertility problems, and how a plant-based diet helped her. We delve into the role of healthy fats, the importance of soy and the impact of positive lifestyle changes.We also touch on the effect of plant-based eating on peri-menopause, for those in a later stage of life.Links from today's episode:• Niki Webster's cookbook, Rebel Recipes• Richard Makin's cookbook, Anything You Can Cook, I Can Cook Vegan• Donate to Dylan's GoFundMe page for lifesaving cancer treatment• Plant-based Health Online• Lisa Simon's new book, The Plant-Based Dietician's Guide to Fertility• Try an issue of Vegan Food & Living magazine for just 99p• Sign up to Patreon and receive exclusive content and access to our monthly live cookalongsNB Please note Vegan Food & Living may earn commission from the links on this page, but we only ever share brands that we love and trust.Today's episode is sponsored by Palmaïa - The House of AïA, a secluded sanctuary nestled in the beautiful Riviera Maya, Mexico, offering guests a specially designed and curated retreat experience, where mind, body, and soul reconnect with ancient paths.
