This post has been one I've been excited to write for quite a while, and now that the festive season is behind us and my brain has had a little bit of post-exams chill time, I was finally able to sit down and write it. The end of the year always makes me quite reflective, … Continue reading My Masters in Public Health & Nutrition – Lessons Learnt From Semester 1
It's fair to say that discovering a real, genuine love of yoga has been one of my absolute game-changers of 2018. I had given it a go last year, as a way to 'stretch' after a serious amount of high intensity workouts at Wellfest (an Irish wellness festival many of you will be familiar with!), … Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas Yoga – Namaste All The Way!
They say life is a journey, and I have to agree.

Do you agree with … Continue reading Wellness for Doctors – Because Happier Doctors Mean Happier Patients

Many of you will know that my day job is that of a junior doctor, and that I'm in my third year practising full-time. I work in a busy tertiary Dublin (Ireland) hospital, and … Continue reading A Day in the Life of a Doctor

We have spent years building careers, only to get close to the top and look around and say, “is this it?” or “do I have … Continue reading Guest Post from Croi Living: A Life of Value
Well guys. This post is a little bit of an emotional one to write. In July, I found out that I was short-listed for 'Best Irish Blog' in the Health Blogger's Community 2017 Health Blog Awards (sponsored by That Protein), and to be honest, I couldn't quite believe it. So you can imagine my total (in the … Continue reading Winning Best Irish Blog 2017 – My Night At The Health Blog Awards
(You'll understand what I mean by this quote when you read this post...) As I sit and write this post, and think about this coming Friday when I'll be sharing it with you guys, my feeling is one of total disbelief.
