This week on the Alive & Kicking Podcast:

When Professor John Nolan of the Nutrition Research Centre in Waterford asked Clare if she would be interested in testing her own eye and brain health, she jumped at the chance. He joins Clare to discuss his research around macular degeneration, brain health, and carotenoids found in colourful food as well as her own results.

Nikki Bradley joinedns Clare to discuss the rock bottom moment that made her turn illness and injury into empowerment and motivation from scaling glaciers, climbing mountains, volunteering in Tanzania, and abseiling down a lighthouse.
