Real Health: How confidence works with neuroscientist Ian Robertson
This week I’m talking about confidence, why it's important and how we can stay confident in the face of failure.
I’m joined by clinical psychologist and neuroscientist Ian Robertson, who has written the new book ‘How Confidence Works: The new science of self belief, why some people learn it and others don’t’.
Ian says having confidence can empower us to reach heights never thought possible: ‘It could make us healthier, live longer, happier and more motivated. But if you don't have confidence, it can have a devastating effect on your future. Confidence lies at the core of what makes things happen.’
According to Ian, confidence isn’t necessarily something we are born with, but it is something we can learn. He says it can even change our brain’s physiology: ‘Feeling confident about being able to face up to something you are frightened of actually boosts your immune system, despite the fear you feel.’
And Ian has some really great tips on how to turn your nerves on their head and use that energy to build your confidence. We also talk about things like Imposter Syndrome, what it is, how somebody can recognise it in themselves and what we can do to put a stop to it.

The Throw In: Who's got the 'big Mo' as we head into the Summer?
Momentum is everything in sport and with such a short turn-around between the Allianz Leagues and the Championship, it’s more important than ever this summer in the GAA and on this week’s Throw-In podcast, David Brady and Brendan Cummins join Will Slattery, Michael Verney and Sean McGoldrick as they look back on the league’s weekend football and hurling action.
With Kerry’s big win over Tyrone generating much attention, is the race for Sam effectively a two-horse race? But if David Clifford was to be injured are Kerry a team of genuine title contenders? And then there’s the ‘big Mo’ and what that means to every county preparing for the provincial Championships.
“You go between the ying and the yang,” says David Brady. “Of what should have been a defeat for Monaghan yesterday to come off the back of a massive victory in the last couple of minutes against Galway and they're going, 'you know what guys, all is good now'. If you have that kind of confidence it's good because you do need, without a doubt you need a positive end to your league campaign for a Championship that's not just around the corner, it's right in front of them.”
Brendan Cummins’s appetite is similarly whetted for what the summer will bring, not least by the fact that after all the furore over referees and the advantage rule in earlier rounds, common sense has prevailed and we’re seeing some great games, with more to come.
“Our game is just getting better and better because of it,” says Cummins. “And I pray to God that they keep doing that for the Championship now in a couple of weeks’ time because we're in for some summer that's a fact now.”

Real Health: Trisha’s Transformation on therapy, balance and finally finding happiness
On this week’s show, I’m talking about weight loss, how to build a strong plan and what to do if you hit challenges along the way.
I’m joined by Trisha Lewis, of Trisha’s Transformation who has been incredibly honest about her weight loss journey so far.
‘I don’t know how I didn’t cop it already Karl but I had an eating disorder…I have a binge eating disorder and from there I went to therapy and I realised I needed a bit of help with my head and from the first session everything made sense to me.’
Trisha tells me how the pandemic impacted her weight loss plan and how she has gotten back on track and finally found balance in her life. Like many of us, Trisha has found therapy helpful in learning to set boundaries and say ‘no’.
‘If you feel that you don’t have boundaries and you’re that person that says yes the whole time chance the ‘no’ every so often because it’s actually so refreshing and you realise how much time you actually have and when you say ‘yes’ it’s because you actually want to.
Trisha has written a new book, Trisha’s 21 Day Reset which gives you the foundations of a resilient weight-loss plan, so that when you fall off the wagon you don’t have to beat yourself up – you simply reset.
Trisha, who is best known for documenting her weight loss experience on her instagram, says it hasn’t been easy: “Failures, setbacks and curveballs have all been part of the journey, but I want to spread the message that weight loss doesn’t have to be about constant deprivation and self-punishment.”
As a chef, she also gives top tips on how to eat better: “I believe it’s important for people losing weight that they don't lose out on flavour as well.”

The Throw In: Hurling has changed, Limerick looking ominous & the return of Offaly GAA
We’ve gone from too many stops to too many scores - it’s hard it seems to keep hurling folk happy these days. So what is it we actually want asks Vincent Hogan on this week’s Throw-In as he joins Will Slattery and Michael Verney to look back on all the weekend hurling league action.
“I think the biggest issue with hurling right now,” says Hogan. “And it really struck me on Saturday with the atmosphere in Corrigan Park with 500 people in it, it gave hurling an edge that we've missed. It's a soulless game without a crowd; it's a soulless game in an empty stadium and I think there's a lot of forwards that are maybe secretly enjoying the fact there's no crowds there.”
It’s not a defenders game anymore is a common refrain and Limerick’s 53 shots at goal – 33 points and 20 wides – in their eight point win over Cork has John Kiely’s men looking ominous for the Championship.
Elsewhere, Galway are the panel’s tip to rival Limerick, but it is the rise of less-heralded counties such as Antrim and Offaly that are also gaining the plaudits.
Offaly chairman, Michael Duignan, joins Will and Michael to discuss why he thinks the county is on an upward curve in hurling and football once again and he talks about the influence and lift that Shane Lowry’s involvement has given them.

Real Health: How to find a healthier, happier gut with The Gut Experts
This week’s Real Health episode is all about gut health.
Irritable bowel syndrome is a bit of a taboo subject but it is estimated to effect one in ten people. It impacts two and half times more women than men and can have a significant impact on a person’s sex life, relationships, work and social activities.
But it doesn’t have to be that way! I’m joined by is a consultant gastroenterologist Professor Barbara Ryan and registered dietician Elaine McGowan AKA The Gut Experts to talk about managing and living with IBS.
According to the Gut Experts “Many of those with IBS feel dismissed by family, friends and even healthcare professionals and unfortunately there is no cure for IBS but there is hope. With dietary and lifestyle modifications, and sometimes medication it can be managed. Finding the right diet, managing stress and getting good sleep are key. It is a holistic approach.”
“Every person has different triggers. Sometimes people are eating too ‘healthy’ and aren’t actually getting enough fiber in their diet.”
“A dietician will examine a client’s pattern of eating, the fluids they are consuming (too much coffee), are the eating on the hoof. All these things impact IBS.”
“We ask people to keep a food diary and then we produce a dietary strategy for people which involved reducing the amount of certain foods for 4-6 weeks and then reintroducing them slowly.”
