    Season 2, Episode 11: Professor Helen Heneghan

    An Appointment With… A podcast series where I get time with experts who are leaders in their field, and bring you with me. Season 2, Episode 11: Professor Helen Heneghan A serious deep-dive on all things to do with bariatric – or weight loss – surgery. There are so many questions, and so much that people are curious to learn about the topic of weight loss surgery that a swift Google or run through TikTok mightn’t have the best answers. Professor Helen Heneghan has been specialising in treating the disease of obesity since 2016, has co-authored over 60 publications in peer-reviewed journals and has a very empathetic, as well as expert approach to helping others live happier, healthier, fuller lives.  The conversation covers everything you may need to know on the topic of weight loss surgery, from the various forms, to pre and post advice, timelines, finance, and a bit of a wake-up call about the real cost (and implications) of travelling abroad for this, or any sort of medical procedure. Professor Heneghan is based in St Vincent’s Private Hospital Telephone +353 87 936 1330 Email: helenheneghan@svcpc.ie This season we’re delighted to call Dylan our home. Thank you so much to all the team for treating us, and our guests, with your warmth, welcome and five-star luxury while we record in your beautiful surroundings.

    Season 2, Episode 10: John O’Regan; Part 2

    An Appointment With… A podcast series where I get time with experts who are notoriously busy, popular and difficult to tie down, and bring you with me. Season 2, Episode 10: John O’Regan; Part 2 Chatting with ultra-athlete John O’Regan always brings so much more than conversations about tempo and chub-rub. This is the second part of a two-parter which is a great conversation whatever step you’re about to take, even if it’s simply that terrifying first one away from the sofa. In this episode, we cover ground from the simple and straightforward, to the pretty out there – like how John is going to participate in the first race in space, slated for 2025. We also talk kit, wearable tech, The Dublin City Marathon (and all the hoo-ha around that), John’s expeditions with Mark Pollock… and his collaboration with visually impaired extreme adventure athlete Sinead Kane. There’s plenty here to inspire and digest, and hopefully you’ll be lacing up your trainers before you’ve had time to think much further. Follow John on Instagram @johnoregan777 And tune in to John’s fascinating podcast: No Finish Line Info on Parkrun Ireland: https://www.parkrun.ie/ The Space Race: https://spaceathleticsfederation.com/ And if you fancy signing up for anything in Ireland this year: https://www.runningcalendar.ie/calendar/2024/ This season we’re delighted to call Dylan hotel our home. Thank you so much to all the team for treating us, and our guests with your warmth, welcome and five star luxury while we record in your beautiful surroundings.

    Season 2, Episode 9: John O’Regan; Part 1

    An Appointment With… A podcast series where I get time with experts who are notoriously busy, popular and difficult to tie down, and bring you with me. Season 2, Episode 9: John O’Regan; Part 1 My guests are usually from the worlds of health, beauty, hair, aesthetics and wellness, and this week we’ve sort of ‘massaged’ the criteria to stretch the wellness part to include fitness. Well, it is January afterall…   Ultra-athelete John O’Regan has participated in some of the toughest, longest, most challenging events in the world. I say running, but when you’re trying to cover 250 km over sand dunes, or some other crazy distance across the Antarctic, it’s a different kettle of fish.  John has so many incredible stories to tell of his experiences… of being self-sufficient for a week covering 250km in the dessert… of mind-bending 24-hour races where competitors just circle a 400-metre running track over and over and over… And yet, John has huge empathy and understanding on how to get running… how to complete that first 5k… how to build a passion with running and how to improve performance, literally from a standing start. So, if 2024 is the year you’re thinking of lacing up your trainers, or the year you’ve signed up for something that’s slightly terrifying you… you’ve come to the right place, to listen to the right man. This conversation was so good, and covered so much ground (bad pun not intended), myself and producer Fergh actually lost track of time. But rather than cut it short, we’ve decided to make it a two-parter. Both parts have plenty of stories and anecdotes from life – quite literally – in the extreme lane, as well as plenty of tips to get you up and moving, or moving faster. Whichever. Or both!  Follow John on Instagram @johnoregan777 And tune in to John’s fascinating podcast: No Finish Line Info on Parkrun Ireland: https://www.parkrun.ie/ And if you fancy signing up for anything in Ireland this year: https://www.runningcalendar.ie/calendar/2024/ This season we’re delighted to call Dylan hotel our home.

Season 2, Episode 8: Roy Leigh Roy is a man who’s star is very much on the ascent right now, hopping all around the world to work for Vogue, Chanel, Hermes… and then home to tend to brides and his crammed appointment column at his salon, 72 The Gallery in Dun Laoghaire.  He’s talented, he’s brave and he’s an incredible guy with the most lovely way about him… the sort of energy and person you really want to be around…  and I’d say all of these qualities, in equal parts explain why he’s now a regular, backstage at some of the biggest Fashion Week shows, both couture and ready-to-wear. Roy tells us exactly how he worked his way up the ladder, what it takes to break in to the international scene and what really goes on backstage. We also talk trends, hero products the tools he can’t live without and some great advice for brides on the prep journey.

    Season 2, Episode 7: Maddi Cook

Season 2, Episode 7: Maddi Cook Maddi Cook, is a British-born hairstylist who, over the past few years has carve a niche for herself helping others.  As industry, hair and beauty pros are rotten at charging enough for their incredible services… in a bid to please, they sacrifice profitability, as well as time, work-life balance, lunch breaks, any breaks and appropriate amounts of self-care, as they trot from day-to-day on a crushing hamster wheel. Well, with her Boss Your Salon initiative, Maddi is changing this, offering a whole host of free tools, podcasts, and online seminars – her Boss Your Salon with Maddi Cook Facebook Group which was the kernel for all of this, now has 30,000 members and is an incredible resource.

Like, she talks sense in a smart, non-preachy way. She’s the wake-up call we all need to get off the treadmill, think a little bit more strategically, and above all else, stop settling!

    Season 2, Episode 6: Dr Emma Cunningham

    An Appointment With… A podcast series where I crash the waiting lists of the beauty industry’s best creatives and professionals, and bring you with me. Season 2, Episode 6: Dr Emma Cunningham These days, aesthetics clinics are two-a-penny. There are on almost every street corner, and a lot of them offer the same things. To stand out you need to offer something really special – something ahead of the crowd.  And that’s how Dr Emma caught my eye. Diving her time between three clinics, north and south of the boarder, yes Dr Emma does all the things you’d expect – injectables, lasers, needling, peels, IV drips… but that’s just the beginning. She also employs specialist consultants to offer female health clinics, specialist peri and menopause clinics, medical weight loss clinics, men’s health clinics, vasectomy clinics and pelvic floor physiotherapy. And I get the impression that’s just the start.  It comes from Dr Emma’s interest in looking beyond a face, or a wrinkle, or a blemish, to understand the human inside… Follow on Instagram @dremmaclinics Visit: https://dr-emma.co.uk/ This season we’re delighted to call Dylan hotel our home.

    Season 2, Episode 5: Corinna Tolan

    An Appointment With… A podcast series where I crash the waiting lists of the beauty industry’s best creatives and professionals, and bring you with me. Season 2, Episode 5: Corinna Tolan This is a great conversation if you’re into skin. If you want amazing skin. If you’re curious about what makes great skin. And if you’re someone who – like me – fancies a fuss-free approach. My guest, Corinna Tolan, is skin care royalty. Her mother Monica was a complete shape-shifter in the industry, and Corinna learned, quite literally, at her mother’s side. Corinna is a wealth of knowledge about skin. And yes, she can talk the science, but what she’s really passionate about is bringing glowing, healthy, delicious skin to everyone. And her way is accessible, affordable, time-efficient and pretty much pain free too, which is a complete bonus. This week, we literally deconstruct the science of skin, and how, in 12 weeks, we can ALL get that glow-up we dare to dream about.

    Season 2, Episode 4: Sam McKnight MBE

    An Appointment With… A podcast series where I crash the waiting lists of the beauty industry’s best creatives and professionals, and bring you with me. Season 2, Episode 4: Sam McKnight MBE An Appointment With… a man who doesn’t do appointments at all! You are more likely to find hair stylist Sam McKnight in studio, or on location with the world’s top models, designers and creatives, than in a salon. Sam is a man with unparalleled talent in the industry, working with Chanel, Fendi, Burberry and Vivienne Westwood. He’s lost count of the number of Vogue covers he’s worked on – but thinks it’s in excess of 600 worldwide - and he’s the only hair stylist to have an entire exhibition devoted to his work (Hair, by Sam McKnight in 2016 at Somerset House in London). He’s a total icon, the real deal. Sam’s stories are superb… and he shares some of them here with me. From being Diana’s go-to through her ‘freedom’ years, to working with the original supermodels (which he still does today), and how these women, and his life on shoots and backstage have helped him formulate his fantastic Hair by Sam McKnight brand. Follow on Instagram @sammcknight1 @hairbysammcknight Visit: https://sammcknight.com/ Hair by Sam McKnight is available in Ireland at Brown Thomas This season we’re delighted to call Dylan hotel our home. Thank you so much to all the team for treating us, and our guests with your warmth, welcome and five star luxury while we record in your beautiful surroundings.
