Wellness gives Siobhan a hunger for success
My Local Nutrition Club
Siobhan Spillane set up My Local Nutrition Club in Kanturk in September 2016 with the aim helping people with their health and wellness.
Siobhan also started the club to help people have a better understanding about their nutrition habits.
Open from 7am to 11am Monday to Friday, Siobhan says the results have been just amazing. “My youngest member is 12 and oldest is 84 and there are as many men as there are women attending the club,” says Siobhan. “Everyone is welcome.”
She says some people want to lose weight, some want to gain weight, some people need more energy, and some want to focus on sports nutrition. “And others, like me, love the social aspect it has brought to this community,” says Siobhan.
“I have members who have completely turned their lives around. I have two people who have lost over seven stone. And I have someone who is finally able to climb the stairs.
“Everyone’s goal is different and its my job to help them reach their goals.
A DUTY TO SHARE
Siobhan now feels she has a duty to people to share what she has learned and to help people, no matter who, how to live a healthy, active lifestyle. “We are facing a massive obesity epidemic and as a health and wellness coach I am going to try to get the message of good nutrition to as many as I can,” she says. “My goal is to have little nutrition clubs in every village and town in the country, and where better to start than Kanturk.
GOBSMACKED BY NOMINATION
“Actually gobsmacked that I was nominated”, Siobhan feels that the club members deserve this - their results are the best there is. “We have doctors who are just blown away by what our club is doing. They are committed, strong, driven people, and the loyalty they have shown me has been so heart-warming. I am just an ordinary girl who wanted to make a difference,” Siobhan added.
