Susi Lodola – Bio:
Susi Lodola holds a Higher Diploma in Psychology (level 8) and a BA (hons) in Linguistics, from UCD, a BA in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy from IICP College (Dublin), and is currently in her final year of an MSc in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy & Motivational Interviewing from WIT. She also holds a Professional Certificate in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, a Professional Certificate in Child and Adolescent Counselling and professional certificate in the therapeutic use of mindfulness. Susi has further deepened her knowledge on applying CBT to weight loss during a 2-day workshop on CBT for weight loss at the BECK INSTITUTE, Philadelphia in 2018.
Through extensive studies in Psychology, Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and her own incredible weight loss and fitness journey, Susi has a professional and personal interest in helping people achieve a healthy lifestyle and lose weight. She developed the MIND OVER BODY weight loss programme to help people stay motivated, deal with triggers, stop the inner voice that sabotages weight loss and put an end to emotional eating.
This programme and work shop are not intended to deal with eating disorders, it is intended to work with people who are struggling to lose weight and lack motivation, have to overcome emotional eating and learn various cognitive and behavioural skills to help them achieve sustainable weight loss. CBT has been identified by the NICE guidelines as an integral part of treating obesity alongside healthy nutrition and exercise.
For interested attendees there is also an opportunity to become members of the forthcoming MIND OVER BODY WEIGHT MANAGEMENT Network, which is going to be promoted in the media over the coming months.

‘Rooted’ – Exploring Our ‘Ecological Interface’ Dublin Practitioner Event

With the BioCare Clinical Nutrition Team (Chris Newbold, Marta Anhelush & Emily Blake)
We are integrated into a complex ecosystem and have evolved to survive within it – ‘rooted’ into our biological environment, like a plant thriving within the earth. Our adaptation to bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and other potential biological antigens is mediated by our complex, highly developed immune system and barrier interfaces including the gut and lungs. However, this complex relationship is fragile and susceptible to dysfunction. In this seminar we take a comprehensive overview of how we maintain immune harmony, and what happens when it goes wrong. We begin by examining immune surveillance, tolerance, the process of inflammation, regulation, autoimmunity and allergy. Then we zoom in on our key mediating ‘biological interface’, the gut, particularly the microbiome, essential to many aspects of health. This comprehensive overview incorporates a range of key nutritional and lifestyle protocols you can use in clinical practice, based around the ‘Adaptive Health’ approach and using real case study examples. Case studies include inflammation and allergic response and gut dysfunction/SIBO.
THIS IS A PRACTITIONER ONLY EVENT.
Venue: Our Lady’s Hospice, Harold’s Cross, Dublin 6W
Date:Friday 15th November 2019
Time: 10 am -3 pm.
CPD Points: 4 hours .

Fermentation is on the tip of everyone’s tongue. It’s talked about in whispers, with knowing nods and affirmative winks. We hear all about the benefits of eating fermented foods; healthy digestion, better mood, stronger immunity, and pay lots of money for small jars of goodness.
But the true secret of fermentation is that it’s really simple to do at home. With a few techniques and a couple of new habits, you could be gaining all that benefit for very little money. Fancy learning how? If so, come along to my fermentation workshop and hear all about it.
You will:
– Learn how to make sauerkraut. Bring home a jar with you
– Learn how to make kombucha, and take a scoby with you to get started straight away
– Learn how to make and use kefir and how to order your grains
– Try all of the above at a special tasting
You’ll definitely learn something new and will get to try some new flavours.
The next scheduled date is Thursday, 26th September 2019.

We are integrated into a complex ecosystem and have evolved to survive within it – ‘rooted’ into our biological environment, like a plant thriving within the earth. Our adaptation to bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and other potential biological antigens is mediated by our complex, highly developed immune system and barrier interfaces including the gut and lungs. However, this complex relationship is fragile and susceptible to dysfunction. In this seminar we take a comprehensive overview of how we maintain immune harmony, and what happens when it goes wrong. We begin by examining immune surveillance, tolerance, the process of inflammation, regulation, autoimmunity and allergy. Then we zoom in on our key mediating ‘biological interface’, the gut, particularly the microbiome, essential to many aspects of health. This comprehensive overview incorporates a range of key nutritional and lifestyle protocols you can use in clinical practice, based around the ‘Adaptive Health’ approach and using real case study examples. Case studies include inflammation and allergic response and gut dysfunction/SIBO.

Our adaptation to bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and other potential biological antigens is mediated by our complex, highly developed immune system and barrier interfaces including the gut and lungs. However, this complex relationship is fragile and susceptible to dysfunction. In this seminar we take a comprehensive overview of how we maintain immune harmony, and what happens when it goes wrong. We begin by examining immune surveillance, tolerance, the process of inflammation, regulation, autoimmunity and allergy. Then we zoom in on our key mediating ‘biological interface’, the gut, particularly the microbiome, essential to many aspects of health. This comprehensive overview incorporates a range of key nutritional and lifestyle protocols you can use in clinical practice, based around the ‘Adaptive Health’ approach and using real case study examples. Case studies include inflammation and allergic response and gut dysfunction/SIBO.
THIS IS A PRACTITIONER ONLY EVENT.

We are integrated into a complex ecosystem and have evolved to survive within it – ‘rooted’ into our biological environment, like a plant thriving within the earth.
