âWhy I breastfed my fourth baby after bottle-feeding the othersâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jayne Patterson Roulston was dead set against the idea of breastfeeding her babies because, with a busy equestrian yard to run in Co Donegal, she did not want to be stuck indoors. âFrom the very start I was, âno way, Iâm not breastfeeding; Iâm not sitting in the houseâ. I was out 24/7 with the horses,â she says. Partly due to her commitment to four-legged creatures, âI didnât even know if I ever wanted childrenâ, says the now mother of four. But when, at the age of 36, she marr
Howâs your gut microbiome? How to spot trouble in the âsecond brainâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The impact trillions of microbes living inside the gut have on our health, both physical and mental, is one of the fastest growing areas of research. Global increases in bowel disorders have put the spotlight on complex interactions between the gut microbiome and its human host. Maintaining a balance between âgoodâ and âbadâ bacteria within is vital for wellbeing, to prevent damaging microbes going rogue.

Should therapists be in therapy? Unpacking the rift over psychotherapy standards in Ireland (opens the original)

Read excerpt
When Richelle Flanagan was diagnosed 10 years ago with young-onset Parkinsonâs disease, she thought she would no longer be able to play hockey â a sport for which she had previously earned 23 senior caps for Ireland. Yet in August she pulled on the green jersey once again to play in the Masters World Cup in Belgium. She may struggle to type and text, but put a hockey stick into her hand and nobody would know she has a neurodegenerative disorder, characterised by slowness and stiffness of mov
Palliative care: How treatment for four-year-old Eva led to her âliving her happy lifeâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The bright colours and catchy tunes of Cocomelon cartoons entertain Eva Sanju as she sits in a special-needs buggy in the front room of her family home in north Co Dublin, facing a large TV screen on the wall. The 3D animation series is an important source of enjoyment for the girl, who has been in palliative care for 18 months due to a neurological disorder, and will turn five in November. She is nonverbal, but makes it very clear when she wants her mother to switch to the next episode of the c
