I’m on holidays, but here’s what’s coming up over next 6 weeks!

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

23 – 30 August All week we will be talking Healthy Back to School! From nutrition to sleep, from mental health to “immune boosting” with a serious dose of urban mythbusting:  how to keep your family healthy (and save some money!)

In September, I’ll be unpacking the following topics that we haven’t gotten to over the summer including:

  • Artificial sweeteners and cancer: what does the  evidence actually say and what are the facts?

  • The SELECT trial:  What does this mean about obesity and the risk of cardiovascular disease, and how might this affect our approach to treating obesity?

I’ll also be out and about speaking on health promotion in the community. I’ll be back on the Late Lunch with Gerry Kelly as a guest first week in September.   If you are local to me in  Meath, I’ll be speaking at the Meath Women in Business & Technology Network meeting on 12 September 2023:  Women’s Health Matters!  If you’re a fellow physician, I’ll also be speaking on a panel about doctors on social media at Women in Medicine in Ireland Network conference 7 October in Limerick.
