EP3: Dr Daniel Jones – Inflammation. The Hidden Driver Of Chronic Disease
Health360:Lessons lived and learnedShow Notes
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. Today's episode of Health 360: Lessons Lived and Learnedi is brought to you by our partners, At One. This is a new, Irish made, science backed supplement that gets to the root cause of so many health complications which is inflammation. What makes At One unique is its duo morning and evening formulations. This approach supports our natural circadian cycle over the entire 24 hours of the day.

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.

Welcome to Health 360: Lessons Lived and Learned - a brand new podcast with Oonagh O'Hagan. This is the podcast where science meets real life. Each week, we explore the intersection of evidence based health and lived experience by bringing together leading experts, researchers, and people with powerful personal stories. We dive into the topics that shape how we think, feel, and live. We cover everything from hormone and gut health to stress, anxiety, and the journey of recovery. This podcast is not just about the science. It is about what that science actually means for real people navigating real challenges. Through honest conversations and the latest research, we want to give you the tools and perspective to take charge of your own health journey. Our very first guest is the inspirational, Trisha Lewis @trishas.transformation. Trisha's story, from weighing 27 stone at her physcially heaviest and mentally lowest point, developing a crippling gambling habit to finding the inner strength to transform herself into the powerhouse she is today, is a remarkeable one. She is brutally honest about her own relationship with her body, how society treats overweight people and how determined she is to inspire people to change their mindsets.
