Cork-based chef and social media personality to take part in WellFest

Cork-based chef and social media personality Trisha Lewis has been announced as part of WellFest, Europe’s largest outdoor health and wellness festival.

Taking place at Dublin’s IMMA at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham on Saturday, May 10 and Sunday, May 11, WellFest will see more than 50 new fitness, food and wellbeing experts joining previously revealed headliners. These include the Kardashian’s longtime personal trainer DB DONAMATRIX, the mental health activist and trainer ‘Get Better with Chris’, and holistic sex educator Jenny Keane.

Cork native Ms Lewis is best known for her weight loss journey. Beginning in 2018, she took on the task of changing her life when her physical and mental health was at its worst.

Through her weight loss journey she has changed her life for the better and in more ways than one, helping her to get the rest of her life back on track.

A new addition to WellFest this year is the Run Club, which is being hosted by Irish 800m Olympic athlete Nadia Power and Aoibhinn Raleigh, founder of Dublin’s beginner-friendly running group Sole Mates.

Irish Life Health also are back at WellFest this year with their brand new festival area, WellFem.

Their two-day programme focuses on both empowering and educational talks featuring the leading experts in female health in the country.

Covering topics such as hormonal, reproductive and pelvic health, to menopause and pre and postnatal care, Irish Life Health will host open panel discussions with expert advice from speakers including Dr Máire Finn, GP, educator and broadcaster; Dr. Michelle Hone, co-founder of Herology and founder of The Fit Clinic and PhD Nutrition, and Dr Sarah Kelly, co-founder of Herology and PhD Clinic Exercise Physiology, along with many other speakers confirmed for the event.

Women’s Aid are also returning as the festival’s official charity partner and will lead a ‘Too Into You’ panel discussion on the WellTalk stage. The ‘Too Into You’ campaign is focused on young people, in particular young women, aged 18-25 and aims to teach people about the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships and provide support for young people.
