Super Slimming Weight Loss Tea Causes a Stir! Yes, it’s really true folks.... an ancient Chinese Lotus Leaf tea or Yo Chi Tea as it is known, is becoming a global sensation! You see, this is simply no ordinary tea; far from it in fact, this is an amazing revolutionary tea blend which, because of its ancient Chinese herbal properties, is helping people everywhere to shed excess weight quickly, naturally and safely, simply by drinking two cups of it every day. Weight loss and detox could not be any easier than this, ever! Already, everyone wants to get their hands on this natural miracle worker and let’s face it why wouldn’t they? Already, J-Lo is singing its praises (sorry, we couldn’t resist that little pun!), blissfully sipping it till her heart’s content as she marvels at its ben-

efits in terms of weight loss. Oprah too is a firm believer in it so if it is good enough for two of the world’s biggest showbiz celebs, we are pretty sure it is more than just a little bit good! The good news? Yo Chi is available in Ireland, exclusive to Therapie Clinic. Clinics have reported waiting list around the country as Therapie have been struggling to meet the demand for tea both in store and online with many customers eager to aid new year weight loss using a more holistic approach. Commenting on its arrival at Therapie Clinic, Manager Sarah Cagney said: “The response to Yo Chi Tea so far has been fantastic, it’s flying off the shelves! The great thing about Yo Chi Tea is it’s 100% natural, and has been proven to be effective in

aiding weight loss and detox in a easy, safe way” The blend contains Lotus Leaf, Oolong green tea and number of other ancient Chinese herbs, all of which have been specially selected because of their proven natural ability to purify and cleanse the body, and to essentially act as a nuisance in stopping the body from storing up food as excess weight, and burn excess fat which is stored in the body! Drinking Yo Chi weight loss tea can help to increase weight loss by up to 50%! Yo Chi Tea is exclusively available from Therapie Clinic nationwide, including Barronstrand Street in Waterford. Simply call them direct on 051 870 910 to order or ﬁnd out more on www.yochitea.com.

Teagasc join with Irish Aid to fight African poverty

Fine Gael’s Waterford minister Paudie Coffey has welcomed the announcement that China has lifted its ban on Irish beef. The news comes after the launch of Irish beef in the US for the ﬁrst time in over 15 years. Mr Coffey said Chinese beef consumption is estimated at approximately six million tonnes at present and is expected to grow by more than one million tonnes over the next ﬁve years. He is pictured with Tim O’Leary (Deputy President, IFA), Eddie Downey (IFA President) and Thomás Ryan (IFA Environment and Infrastructure Executive).

Album of the week Smoke + Mirrors, by Imagine Dragons Smoke and Mirrors is the second studio album by Imagine Dragons. It’s a boisterous but hit-and-miss effort from the alt-rock band still swooning in international acclaim from its 2012 debut, “Night Visions,” which launched the Grammywinning hit “Radioactive.” Smoke + Mirrors, sounds like a mix of Coldplay, U2, Mumford & Sons

and The Killers with a hint of Arcade Fire and The Black Keys in there. Imagine Dragon ﬁts the bill for “modern rock” - it’s deﬁnitely not your bread-and-butter rock ‘n’ roll. It’s a very 2015 mix of hip-hop beats, EDM synth, expansive guitar work and crashing drums. “Imagine Something Massive” could easily be their band name.

DVD of the Week Dracula Untold (approx €12.99) Gary Shore directs and Luke Evans stars in this fantasy horror origin story. In 15th-century Transylvania, Vlad III (Luke Evans), prince of Wallachia, is known as a just ruler. With his beloved wife, Mirena (Sarah Gadon), Vlad has brokered a prolonged period of peace and ensured that his people are protected, especially from the Ottoman

Empire. However, when Sultan Mehmed II (Dominic Cooper) demands 1,000 of the country’s boys, including Vlad’s son, for his army. Desperate to ﬁnd a solution, Vlad seeks the help of a mysterious man (Charles Dance) who grants him the powers to defeat his enemy. But do these newly-gained powers come at too high a price?

Console Game of the week Rugby 15 (Xbox One) (approx. €64.99)

Gadget of the Week Zuta Labs Pocket Printer - available for pre-order (approx. €179) Zuta have come up with a novel idea: a tiny, almost pocket-sized printer that moves itself over a sheet of paper via two pairs of wheels. A robot, in other words. There’s an inkjet printer head inside, and as the robot rolls over your crisp piece of A4 this touches down where neces-

sary to print. Documents can be loaded direct (and wirelessly) from smartphones, tablets and laptops and a USB connection is used to top up the battery, which is good for around an hour of use per charge. One print cartridge is able to provide around 1,000 pages.

Real Women. Real Taboos. Real Solutions When it comes to your health, it is important to be vigilant. Yet, our busy lives can often push symptoms to the background. We ignore our discomforts and learn to live with our (often monthly!) aches and pains. In our efforts to juggle the various commitments in our lives, we can be guilty of neglecting our own health. That is, until the symptoms catch up with us and, perhaps reveal a bigger problem than we had first imagined. In Ireland, there is still a perception amongst women, and society in general, that you should only see a gynaecologist when there is a serious problem. Our relationship with gynaecologists is typically a reactive one, borne from necessity rather than proactivity. There is also a hesitancy to speak about our ‘gynae’ issues. We are embarrassed to talk about periods. So we accept that weakness, tiredness, dizziness, anaemia and cramps are just par for the course. We feel uncomfortable discussing urinary incontinence. So we live with the stress, embarrassment and hygiene issues that this problem can cause. But the fact is; women shouldn’t have to live with the type of monthly period pain that causes absenteeism from work, intense discomfort or a fear of leaving the house because they are worried about having an ‘accident’. And there should never be an acceptance that urinary incontinence is something to

just put up with. No-one should suffer in silence. For both of these issues, there is help available and in many different forms, ranging from physiotherapy, to medication and/ or surgery. Aut Even Hospital, Kilkenny, offers female patients a suite of women’s health services for the investigation and treatment of all benign gynaecological and uro-gynaecology conditions. Our Women’s Health Clinic is comprised of highly experienced Gynaecologists and a skilled nursing team who can provide fast access to consultations, scans and surgery, if required. Specifically in the area of urinary incontinence, our Consultant Gynaecologists provide an outpatient urodynamics service which investigates functional disorders of the lower urinary tract (the bladder and the urethra). A pressure flow study, which measures how well the bladder muscles, the sphincter, and the urethra work together may also be carried out. Whatever the route of investigation, the ultimate result will be a life without the stress and anxiety that weak bladder control can pose. For those suffering from heavy periods, which is estimated to be about one in three women, there may be a number of causes. For women in their 20s and 30s, heavy menstrual bleeding can be a result of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometrio-

sis or fibroids. Some sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as chlamydia and gonorrhoea, are also linked to heavy bleeding. Whatever the cause, help is at hand at Aut Even. The social isolation and pain associated with heavy periods can be minimised and in many cases, completely eradicated. Aut Even Hospital deals with an array of women’s health issues, including but not limited to:, endometriosis, fibroids, polycystic ovarian syndrome, ovarian cysts, pelvic pain, sexual and reproductive health problems, female urinary incontinence and pelvic floor prolapse. The hospital also offers minimally invasive (keyhole surgery) laparoscopic procedures, delivering lower risk surgery options alongside better recovery times for patients. Our Consultant Gynaecologists, Mr Trevor Hayes, Dr David McMurray and Mr Ray O’Sullivan all provide a compassionate environment within which to discuss your medical requirements. Nationally, there is much work to be done to reduce the stigma associated with gynaecological health for women. Better access to gynaecologists as well as education around what should and shouldn’t be accepted from a women’s health perspective may go some way to helping to minimise the taboo.

Aut Even’s experienced team is constantly developing a better understanding of women’s health conditions and working tirelessly on behalf of women to address the problems that are impacting upon their quality of life. For more information about the women’s health services available at Aut Even Hospital, call 1890639639 or email info@auteven.ie. All information will be treated in the strictest of confidence.

new nutritional program is gaining the gratitude of its customers and the respect of many health professionals, just ten months after its launch onto the Irish market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;pre-Conceiveâ&#x20AC;? a unique and clinical strength food supplement is gaining the attention both nationally and internationally following on from a growing number of success stories which are now flowing in from delighted users! An example of these would be healthcare practitioner and successful businesswoman Hazel Hall, who is pregnant with her first child at 40. Hazel and her partner had been trying to conceive for quite a while, before they were introduced to pre-Conceive. pre-Conceive is designed as a nutritional support to aid in conception and its revolutionary formula is applicable to both men and women who are trying to conceive. Hazel was naturally intrigued by the product. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made the decision to take preConceive for two reasons. Firstly, I wanted to ensure that nutritionally, I was getting everything I needed to get pregnant and to support my pregnancy. Secondly, when I looked at other pregnancy supplements on the market I really felt they were inadequate for my needs.â&#x20AC;? Hazel had been taking pre-Conceive for 3-4 months when she discovered the good news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think when I found out I was pregnant, I was shocked. I am not sure why as I was trying to get pregnant for ages but when you see the little blue line reality sets in then,â&#x20AC;? she said. Hazel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have had a huge interest in health for many years. I have been involved in sport at different levels also, so health goes hand in hand with sporting activity. However I did think that my age might be factor in getting pregnant and I had concerns about foetal abnormality.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if couples out there understand the value of a good, nutritious diet and its importance to their fertility, a sentiment which Pillar Healthcare obviously echoes.â&#x20AC;?

Co-founder and Director of Pillar Healthcare, Matt Ronan said preparing for pregnancy simply means â&#x20AC;&#x153;ensuring your body is as healthy as it can possibly be at the time of conception. There is overwhelming evidence that good nutritional status of a couple before the moment of conception can hugely influence the future health of the mother and the child, thus the risk of miscarriage and foetal abnormalityâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;pre-Conceive is suitable as a preparation for IVF treatment and is ideal to prepare both partners for the various procedures which can be extremely challenging in their own right,â&#x20AC;? Matt elaborated. Hazel is â&#x20AC;&#x153;looking forward to the new changes and challengesâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? that motherhood will bring with. While another happy user of pre-Conceive is pharmacist Anne Marie Sorohan who has said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a pharmacist, I was impressed by pre-Conceive. Its unique formula contains all the necessary nutrients at the effective dosages. My husband and I tried preConceive and it was the one that made the differenceâ&#x20AC;?.

Mark Whitney, Pillar Healthcareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MD, who recently won Best Young Entrepreneur award with the Wexford Local Enterprise office said; â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is stories like these that make all of our efforts in formula development worthwhile. As Hazelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story demonstrates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nutrition is crucial to your fertilityâ&#x20AC;?. Mark commented; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Actually, the demands of our modern lifestyles create an extra need for nutrients but our nutrition intake is often sacrificed for more convenient meals when we are on the go. We are mostly fuelled by caffeine to a large extent and running on cortisol (our stress hormone which keeps us upright). This sentiment is echoed by our medical advisor Dr. David Smallbone who is the most recent past President of the Food & Health section of the Royal Society of Medicine (UK).

â&#x20AC;&#x153;A study from Harvard Medical school involving 18,000 women has shown that taking a nutritional supplement, can improve chances of pregnancy...â&#x20AC;?

z z z z z z z

1/5 couples diagnosed as infertility within Ireland. â&#x201A;Ź175 million was spent on IVF during 2011 in Ireland. 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage in Ireland. 40% of infertility diagnoses are attributed to female fertility parameters. 40% of infertility diagnoses are related to male fertility parameters. 20% of infertility is attributable to unknown factors. The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System has stated the importance of prenatal nutrition, recommending multivitamin supplementation to ensure correct nutrient levels. Other organisation such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists have similarly recommended preparing for pregnancy and taking supplements to balance out your diets shortcomings.

CROSSWORDS Expertise may be called into question on Monday but by the time someone has had chance to consider what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually done, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite possible youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be due praise. Following this, you may be asked to assist someone who is struggling. It would be understandable if the focus of much of your attention was on finance this week. It may be that there are heavy costs to consider on Monday. Yet it might also be that this is a near perfect time for making investment. You may be called to account early this week but rise to the challenge. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entirely possible that though you may have been responsible for the overall quality of a task that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s later adjustment that has caused difficulties. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entirely possible that what was discussed around January10th and again on February 1st will be back on the agenda. It may be that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now given clear notice of a schedule. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite likely too that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also attract the world of glamour. It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprising if you found yourself involved with a new team midweek. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high probability of their aims being idealistic and achievable perhaps only over a long term. That said, they may be correct in thinking that your contribution is just whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed at the start. Unexpected - and fast - developments are probable for another month yet. This week a slight change in career direction is likely - and may be prompted by someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision for a far better work-play balance (or is driven by health necessity).

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be driven by the needs of others this week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and at short notice. This might even be literal. Perhaps youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll end up ferrying someone to and from appointment? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if your design and creative skills come to the fore. It might not be your own health but that of someone close that requires you to make adjustments to your schedule this week. Your work-load could increase as a result. You might even need to access your considerable charm to have a deadline extended. Notwithstanding the high probability that you may have amazed others and enjoyed many compliments in recent days, it appears the weight of responsibility could lie heavily on you on Monday. A twist on this would be creating a huge mess as you try to locate something important. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably known for a couple of years now that goal-posts were shifting. It might now seem to you that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being asked to make a choice which would effectively limit later options. Yet whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed could be very attractive indeed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely that others are moving faster than feels comfortable. You might also feel thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real danger of a tradition being discarded. You may be correct but even so need to acknowledge that there may be a way of working that accommodates recent developments. It might help to think of yourself as a sponge - at least mentally. True, you might wonder on Monday if you can hold all the information being thrown at you. You can and, as early as Tuesday could show marked competence.
