Today's guest is Darina Dunne.

Darina is a cornerstone in the Irish fitness community and has probably done more for the industry than any of us will ever know.

Darina and her husband Jamie are responsible for the filthy 150. This is Ireland's largest crossfit competition and at one stage was one of the biggest sanctioned Crossfit events in Europe.

They run multiple gyms around the country and now Darina is lobbying the Irish Government through the Irish Physical Activity Alliance. Their goal is to make gym memberships tax refundable as part of the Med1 health expense form. Darina is doing all of this while having a full time job in the pharmaceutical industry, she has unbelievable drive and is the perfect person to make this happen.

Darina is armed with all the facts around the importance of fitness and exercise to improve the population's health and how governments can actually save money in the long term by keeping people out of hospital beds and nursing homes, all while promoting health & exercise.

We are an ageing population and the numbers do not add up when it comes to the management of our elderly. We simply cannot provide the beds that are needed to meet the supply but Darina and the IPAA know that exercise, fitness and education are the only way to combat this problem in the long term.

Hope you enjoy the chat!

Today's special guest is Niall Breslin or Bressie as most people will know him by.

A bestselling author, podcaster, musician and philanthropist, Bressies personal experience has informed his journey to becoming a leading figure in mindfulness for individuals and organisations.

One such organisation is A Lust For Life, of which Bressie is a Founder and Creative Director.

The charity develops preventative mental health and wellbeing school programmes, which teach children from the earliest age how to enhance and protect their mental health.

Since launching in 2020 their programme has been delivered in over 3,500 classrooms with a reach of over 92,000 children nationwide.

The charity's flagship fundraiser is The Rising, a gruelling physical and mental challenge.

In September, together with a group of friends, Bressie is embarking on an incredible journey, kayaking over 300km of the River Shannon, cycling 120km from Limerick to Carrauntoohil and finishing by hiking Ireland’s highest peak to raise awareness and vital funds for the charity.

We are inviting our community to Rise Up by taking on their own hike or walk on the 15th September in support of A Lust For Life.
