What if some of the biggest challenges women face – from crippling period pain and PMS to anxiety, brain fog and burnout in midlife – are actually hormonal, and we’re still not joining the dots?

In this episode of Health 360: Lessons Lived and Learned, Oonagh O’Hagan is joined by Dr Mary Ryan and Dr Louise Newson to talk honestly about the full hormonal journey: first periods, PMDD, PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, perimenopause and menopause.

They unpack the confusion around “HRT and breast cancer”, explain bio-identical vs synthetic hormones, and share the red flags women (and parents) should never be told to “just put up with”.

They discuss the role hormones play in self-harm and even serious crime and how a new approach needs to happen immediately.

On the outside, Mark Fennell looked driven, ambitious, and capable - speaking on big stages to thousands. But behind the scenes, he was battling anxiety that wouldn’t switch off, until burnout forced him to face what was really running his life.

In this episode of Health 360: Lessons Lived and Learned, Oonagh O’Hagan talks to Mark about childhood bullying, the inner critic we all carry, and the warning signs he missed before a collapse in the gym landed him in hospital.

Mark shares the tools that helped him rebuild: identity, routine, and his mantra, “I can, I will, I must” - plus the powerful perspective shift that changed everything.

What if the real driver behind low energy, brain fog, poor sleep, gut issues and even chronic disease is something you can’t see at all: silent, systemic inflammation?

In this episode of Health 360: Lessons Lived and Learned, Oonagh O’Hagan sits down with inflammation and metabolism expert Dr. Daniel Jones to break down the difference between acute and chronic inflammation, why “all roads lead to inflammation,” and how those invisible “dominoes” can spread through every system in the body.

Daniel also shares his remarkable personal story: open-heart surgery at five, a detour through music (including some unbelievable house-party moments), and the science-led journey that brought him to Ireland and to co-founding At One with Oonagh.
