Shur, I’ll Be Grand. Say it enough times and it stops meaning anything. We’re Louise and Claire, two naturopathic clinicians who’ve heard that line more times than we can count, usually from someone who very clearly isn’t. Each week, we get into the health and wellness conversations and viral health trends that are everywhere. What actually holds up, what doesn’t, and what nobody seems to be saying out loud. Shur, you'’ll be grand. But you could feel class.Claire O'Brien and Louise Kane Buckley 衛生・健康的な生活

    Fibremaxxing, gut health and why more isn't always betterIn this episode, Claire and Louise take a look at fibremaxxing, the social media trend encouraging us to dramatically increase our fibre intake. With fibre rightly recognised as an important part of a healthy diet, we ask whether more is always better, and what happens when we focus on hitting a number rather than listening to our individual digestive needs.We explore why fibre maxing has become so popular, how it has become linked with the recent focus on protein optimisation, and why simply adding fibre powders or supplements may not address the reason someone is experiencing constipation, bloating or digestive discomfort.We also discuss the different types and sources of fibre, the role of fibre-rich foods in supporting the microbiome, and why whole foods such as fruit, and why digestion is about much more than what happens once food reaches the stomach.Join us as we explore what it might look like to step back, understand your own body and find a way of eating that actually fits your life.In this episodeWhat fibremaxxing is and why it has become a wellness trendWhy fibre has become linked with the protein optimisation trendWhy more fibre isn't necessarily better for every gutThe difference between getting fibre from food and taking fibre supplementsHow fruit, vegetables, chia seeds and other whole foods provide more than just fibreThe role of fibre in supporting the microbiome and why chewing and taking time to eat may matter for digestion The relationship between the nervous system, stress, pelvic floor tension and gut motility Why individual digestive history needs to be considered before increasing fibreHow to gradually introduce fibre rather than suddenly increasing intakeFinding a realistic and individual approach to fibre and gut healthKey takeawaysFibre is important, but more isn't automatically better.The type, amount and source of fibre matter, particularly if you already have digestive symptoms.If you're experiencing constipation, bloating or changes in bowel movements, simply adding more fibre may not address the underlying issue.Chewing, slowing down and creating space around meals are part of the digestive process too.Small, manageable additions can be more useful than an all-or-nothing approach.Rather than adding another powder, supplement or wellness rule, sometimes the simplest place to start is with the food you're already eating.This episode is sponsored by Seeds BakerySeeds Bakery is an artisan bakery based in Kinsale and now also in the English Market in Cork City.

  • Diving into Perimenopause

    Diving into Perimenopause
    2026/10/06
    In this episode, Claire and Louise explore perimenopause through their own lived experience and their work supporting women. With menopause conversations everywhere, we ask: Are women getting the support they need, or simply being sold another solution?From brain fog and changing energy to people pleasing and the pressure to keep everything going, we chat about what this transition can feel like. We explore the mental load women carry, the expectations placed on us at home and at work, and what happens when we begin to question whether we want to keep doing it all.We also discuss HRT as one of the tools available, why individual experiences differ and the importance of considering nutrition, sleep, stress and overall health alongside hormonal changes. We look at menopause-branded supplements, the “everyone should take this” advice circulating online and why something that helps your friend might not suit you.Because this stage of life can hold possibilities as well as challenges. With personalised support and space to listen to your own needs, there may be room for stronger boundaries, creativity and a different way of living.In this episodeWhy greater openness about perimenopause mattersThe commercialisation of menopause and the cost of accessing careLooking at the whole person alongside their hormonesHRT, individual experiences and a broader toolbox of supportBrain fog, stress and the mental load women carryPeople pleasing, boundaries and the difference between being kind and being niceThe pressure to maintain the same energy and productivity every dayWhy hormone test results need contextMenopause-branded supplements and blanket recommendationsFinding your own rhythm through a changing stage of lifeKey takeawaysYou deserve support that considers your symptoms, history, lifestyle and circumstances.HRT and nutrition or lifestyle support can be part of the same conversation.A supplement that suits someone else may not suit you, particularly if you take medication.Rest, nourishment and manageable changes deserve attention alongside the latest wellness trends.You can be kind while setting boundaries and making space for your own needs.If something has not helped, that does not mean you cannot be helped.You do not have to keep pushing through and telling yourself you will be grand.Follow Shur, I’ll Be Grand on Instagram @shurillbegrand and TikTok @shur.ill.be.grand.Shur, I’ll Be Grand is hosted by Claire O’Brien of Allaria Nutritional Therapy and Louise Kane Buckley of Loula Natural.Season 1 is proudly sponsored by The Natural Clinic, a multi-therapist, non-medical clinic on Sullivan’s Quay in Cork City.This episode is supported by Nature’s Plus, offering a wide range of vitamins, minerals and nutritional supplements, including GI Nutra digestive products, HEMA-PLEX iron and Animal Parade children’s supplements.
