Many of my listeners have written and to asked me to talk about the many health issues faced by our loved ones with FASD.  I met with three experts who join in in this episode to tackle the important conversation about comorbid physical and mental health issues that often present alongside FASD.  My guests on this episode are Myles Himmelreich, Emily Hargrove, and CJ Lutke, each one has firsthand experience with this reality. Each of my guests has a diagnosis of FASD as well as a long list of medical diagnosis and challenges as a result of prenatal alcohol exposure.  Myles, CJ< and Emily are members of the Adult Leadership Committee of the FASD Changemakers, lead researchers and authors of The lay of the land: fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) as a whole-body diagnosis study. Join us as we discuss their groundbreaking research that led to the discovery of the 428 comorbid conditions common with FASD.  You will be awed by their strength and tenacity when you hear their joy, enthusiasm and zest for life. The lay of the land: fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) as a whole-body diagnosis study was published in the Routledge Handbook for Social Workers and Addictive Behavior. https://www.routledge.com/The-Routledge-Handbook-of-Social-Work-and-Addictive-Behaviors/Begun-Murray/p/book/9781032336619

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
