    How often do we really think about our bones? And could the choices we make in our 20s and 30s impact our health decades down the line? In this very special episode of Shake the Ground, proudly sponsored by the National Dairy Council to mark World Osteoporosis Day, Nathalie heads to the Sport Ireland Institute for an eye-opening conversation about bone health, nutrition, female athletes and the importance of looking after our future selves. Joining Nathalie are two incredible women: Lisa O’Rourke, Irish Olympian, World Champion boxer and European Games gold medallist, and Sharon Madigan, Head of Performance Nutrition at the Sport Ireland Institute. Together, they explore why bone health deserves our attention, the role of calcium, protein and dairy in supporting strong bones, and how exercise and nutrition work hand in hand to support lifelong health. From fuelling for performance and the pressures facing female athletes to building healthy habits and understanding our risk of osteoporosis, this conversation is packed with practical advice, personal insights and important reminders for women of all ages. A huge thank you to the National Dairy Council for supporting this important conversation. This episode is a paid partnership with the National Dairy Council.

    Brian O Loughlin on The Hidden Cost of Always Pushing, Burnout & Identity

    Shake The Ground Podcast | S02EP02  This week on Shake The Ground we are joined by Brian O’Loughlin for a conversation about burnout, identity, nervous system regulation and learning how to actually live the life we’ve worked so hard to build.What if the very things that make us successful; ambition, hard work, responsibility and always pushing forward, are also the things keeping us stuck?We talk about Brian’s experience of burnout and the uncomfortable realisation that so much of his ambition had become tied to worth, safety and constantly needing to move forward.We explore what fight-or-flight can look like in a highly functioning person, the limits of “mindset” work, our obsession with self-improvement, and whether we can stay ambitious without constantly being at war with ourselves. We also chat about fatherhood, presence, why rest can feel so uncomfortable, what Brian calls “midlife reorganisation”, and how we can become so good at managing our lives that we forget how to actually live them.This is a conversation for anyone who has ever looked at their life and thought: everything is good… so why don’t I feel okay?
