If you get a chance this Christmas season, check this out at Mount Congreve Gardens. The food is fabulous . We were there yesterday. The homemade soup was divine and as for the berry crumble!
Afterwards, you could walk it off in the beautiful gardens.
Incredibly as little as 2-10 minutes walking after eating improves heart health, blood sugar metabolism and energy. Small steps really do make a difference!

A wise person once described Spring as ‘a lovely reminder of how beautiful change can be’.
It might be Christmas week but here’s a reminder that Spring is just around the corner.

Picked up a Christmas present earlier - this lovely new Waterford supporters hat
Never too early to get ready for the 2026 season 🙏

Waterford City was looking great too. Please shop local this Christmas if at all possible. There are great people running businesses there. They deserve support. Thank you.

Delighted to have participated at the American College of Lifestyle Medicine Conference recently in Dallas, Texas.
It was wonderful to meet many medical colleagues from around the world, who are doing their best to make positive lifestyle changes an easier and more sustainable choice for individuals, and communities.
It was great to learn about new innovations in whole-person health and ‘lifestyle medicine’. How an interconnected approach to health and wellbeing can pay lasting dividends in terms of disease prevention and optimising healthspan.
It was inspiring to meet Dr. Dean Ornish again who has shown how heart disease and type 2 diabetes can be successfully treated (and sometimes reversed) through intensive lifestyle changes. On this occasion, learning more about his recent work highlighting how intensive lifestyle changes over as little as 20 weeks can improve symptoms in patients with diagnosed dementia.

Something to think about :

Overall psychological functioning actually peaks between ages 55 and 60.

‘And knowing this highlights why people in this age range may be at their best for complex problem-solving and leadership in the workforce.
History is full of people who reached their greatest breakthroughs well past what society often labels as “peak age”. Perhaps it’s time we stopped treating midlife as a countdown and started recognising it as a peak’.
