Many of us stop playing as we get older. We become so consumed with the business of life that we no longer create time to have fun.
We may have distractions or activities we do that we say are fun, but Brian O'Loughlin joins me in this episode to explore what play and fun really mean, and how creating time for this in our lives can have positive outcomes for our health, relationships and sense of self.

Dr.Ríoghnach O'Leary is a forensic psychologist who works largely with male offenders who have committed violent or sexual crimes.
Her work gives Ríoghnach a unique look into the minds and behaviours of people who have done things that most consider terrible and inconceivable.
However the truth is that the capacity for both great and terrible acts lives within each of us, and in this conversation we explore the reasons why we become the people we are, and the factors that influence our behaviours, addictions and world views.
We cover the power of environment, the impact of trauma, parenting, crime, the differences between psychology and psychiatry, societal and cultural influences and much more.
A fascinating conversation.

Brian O'Loughlin joins me to discuss the strategies we're exploring to create more space in our lives to do absolutely nothing.
Living busy lives has become a badge of honour, but without space to think you are simply existing from one day to the next. To live a your life by design, and not by default, it is vital to have space to be creative, to plan, to reflect and to think.
We explore the relationship between your time, money and energy, and how each can be leveraged to create that space, and how creating space can also to lead to creating more of each of these elements too.

Aisling Fox of AoK Nutrition joins me on this episode for a great chat about a collection of topics that really don’t receive anywhere near the level of attention they deserve. Aisling is a Naturopath, a Nutritional Therapist, is currently studying Herbal Medicine and specialises in Female Hormones.
In this episode Aisling explains the current landscape of the various contraceptive methods, from the pill to the coil and everything in between, and how the long term use of these methods is leading to a wide range of health issues for a huge number of women. She outlines the complexity of libido, sex drive and fertility, and the factors that are causing problems for many in these areas, especially lifestyle and health choices
Aisling also highlights the importance of identifying the root causes of health and wellness concerns, and taking an individual approach rather than simply settling for the standard blueprint model, and she tells me about the incredible efficacy of nutrition, and more specifically the use of herbs, when it comes to empowering yourself and managing your health.
A fantastic conversation, thank you Aisling.

After suffering with some health issues that led him down the path of functional medicine, Fergus decided to build Ethos with his partner Amy, and he joins me today to explain that journey, and to give us a detailed explanation of the world of CBD, what it is, how it’s made, and how it can offer amazing health benefits by working on what is called the endocannabinoid system in our bodies.
A really interesting conversation that helped dispel many of the myths surrounding CBD, and we also took a dive into the world of functional medicine, with a few controversial topics thrown in for good measure!
Thank you Fergus.

Sarah Moloney is a personal trainer and coach who’s currently working on her Masters in Clinical Nutrition, but she’s also someone who suffers with the chronic disease known as endometriosis.
Endometriosis is a condition that causes a growth of fibrous tissue, similar to that found in the uterus, around many of the organs, leading to a huge range of symptoms such as chronic pain, fatigue, excessive bleeding and a plethora of other concerns that can, in many cases, completely alter your lifestyle and general quality of life. Sarah shares her own story in this episode, and explains to me what exactly this disease is, how it can present, the various levels of treatment (along with the varying levels of efficacy that go with those treatments), how it affects a huge number of people around the globe, and how it is still so poorly understood and managed, even in the world of modern medicine.
The most striking element of this episode is just how much a chronic disease like this, which is not technically classed as a ‘fatal’ condition, can take from your body, your relationships and your life.
Sarah is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to not just endometriosis, but health and wellness in general, and this is a very insightful chat about the medical system, self empowerment, education, suffering, human nature, and so much more.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us Sarah.

**Shane Flynn is a Movement Correctional Specialist, a Neuromuscular Therapist, S&C Coach and owner of the spectacular NGS Gym and Rehabilitation Centre in Mullingar. He has combined years of experience in the fitness and injury management industry to create a service of excellence for a wide variety of clients, from basic weight loss and exercise to elite-level athletic performance.
Shane’s black and white, no-bullshit approach to working with his clients has generated some friction among some online fitness and wellness communities, however having met Shane in his facility, where this episode was actually recorded, and having spoken to him at length about a huge range of topics from his own mindset and personal history, to his training, his work with children and people with autoimmune disease (as well as athletes and the average person), purpose, belief, meaning and much much more, it’s so clear to me that everything Shane does is driven by his burning passion and desire to help empower people, and to heal.**
This was a very raw and engaging chat with a highly motivated and driven man. Thank you Shane!

Darragh Stewart (Phd) is the epitome of a bridging force between science and spirituality. With an extensive background in research in the fields of Natural Science and a Phd in Plant Developmental Genetics, Trinity College Dublin, Darragh’s own personal experience of trauma and anxiety in his twenties led him on a journey of self growth and healing, and today he uses that experience and knowledge to help men and women in a wide variety of ways, from men’s circles and one to one sessions, to psychedelic retreats, microdosing, and much, much more.
In this episode Darragh explains how he moved from a formal background in the sciences to taking a more integrative and holistic approach to life, how his own personal experiences were the driver for his current work, and we go deep on the traumas and crises that many men and women are dealing with today, from identity, spirituality and purpose to sexuality and more.
**An absolute cracker of an episode.
Thank you Darragh.**

**In this special episode Mark Tobin, a fitness coach, athlete and owner of Strive Coaching joins me on the podcast to discuss a type of inflammatory bowel condition known as Crohn’s disease.
Mark’s fiancée Lisa was diagnosed with Crohn’s at the age of 10, and has suffered the effects of the condition for 17 years, so Mark explains what exactly it looks like for somebody living with this type of ailment. He speaks very openly about the challenges Lisa has faced that many people with Crohn’s face today, about his own initial lack of understanding around the disease, and how the suffering can extend much further than the physical symptoms, with a huge element of stigma and shame affecting sufferers.**
Mark also speaks about an event he has organised called Walk a Mile in My Shoes where he plans to run 174km across the mountains in August to raise awareness and funds for The Irish Society for Colitis and Crohns Disease (ISCC), an absolutely fantastic cause.

Darren Hendrick is a man with a very particular set of skills. He’s not superhuman, nor is he Liam Neeson, but despite the fact that he is still a very young man, Darren has spent many years developing a huge variety of tools and techniques he uses to enable himself to negotiate the challenges of life, from health and performance to financial empowerment, personal growth and development and more.
His deep understanding of how the human mind functions when it comes to changing and creating habits has allowed him to build systems for himself, systems he can call on when the world inevitably throws multiple spanners in the works, to steady the ship during rocky times, to enhance his performance and ultimately to improve his quality of life. Darren is a friend of mine, and I’ve been so eager for him to share this knowledge with me and with others, so we can hear first hand how making small consistent changes in your life is actually the secret to achieving great success, whatever that success looks like to you.
Darren explains that we are in fact in control of our lives and outcomes, and his mission is to help empower people to recognise and take that control, and to shape their own futures. This is also the mission of our joint venture, NEXOA, but you’ll have to listen to the podcast to find out more about that!
A good friend, a good human and a powerful mind!

Almost exactly one year since he joined me on the very first episode of the Prymal Podcast, the masterful Eoin Lacey is back!
Eoin is a performance consultant, which essentially means that he uses an in-depth knowledge of health, wellness, nutrition, medicine, strength and conditioning, habit formation and many more facets of optimal living to help his clients, other coaches and you and I achieve our performance goals.
While this might sound like the CV for an elite Olympic level sprint coach, which Eoin has probably been at some point, the incredible truth is that when you listen to him discuss all of these different aspects of the human being, it doesn’t matter who you are or what your goals are, you can employ so many of his teachings to so many different parts of your life, and if you do, you are guaranteed to be leveling up your health, your function, your wellbeing and end up feeling utterly empowered.
In this episode we touch on many different aspects of being ‘healthier’, and we specifically discuss hormonal health for both men and women, and the important part this plays in the big picture, and also Eoin’s thoughts and advice on the type of physical activity and training that can contribute to a more resilient and robust person designed to manage the stresses of life.

Coach Robbie Bennett from the Irish Strength Institute is back for another episode on the Prymal Podcast after his last chat with us was met with such a brilliant response!
On this episode Robbie talks about cholesterol and heart disease, and how the way we traditionally think about the links between cholesterol and health is actually not accurate. We discuss the real facts and figures when it comes to cardiac health, and we also talk about purpose and motivation, and how the "WHY" we do some of the things we do, when it comes to health, training and fitness, is almost more important than the "WHAT".
Another cracker of a podcast!

Coach Robbie Bennett from the Irish Strength Institute walks us through gut health, the common misconceptions surrounding this topic, how our bodies digest and absorb food, intolerances and allergies, and explains how a huge percentage of people today are suffering from gut and digestive issues, and many aren’t even aware that it’s an issue!
Food is more than just fuel, it has a huge role to play when it comes to almost every function in the body, is linked to pretty much every health issue we have, and you can drastically improve your quality of life by understanding the nuances of proper nutrition.
