Ask Allison: ‘I gave up booze 16 years ago, but then started eating too much and too quickly. What can I do to stop this?’

Q: I feel like I have no control over my appetite. I eat too much and too quickly. I gave up alcohol about 16 years ago as I drank too much when I was out and got tired of worrying about it, so I stopped. However, at Christmas, I had a glass of champagne and drank it in one or two gulps. I also drink a lot of coffee, and again, I tend to down it very quickly. Can you please help me get to the bottom of this?

Concussion: ‘I felt fine for the first couple of days but then I started having strange symptoms – bad headaches and a weird sensation in my head’

When we think of someone having concussion, most of us imagine it to be the result of a traffic accident, a fall or even from a very physical sport. But last year, 26-year-old footballer Lee Desmond, when he was playing for St Patrick’s Athletic, had a severe reaction after banging his head during a soccer match.

The art of coping: To manage our feelings, we must learn to connect with them. Here’s how ...

In the digital age, we exist on a hyper-communicative, responsive, analytical continuum where there is very little information we don’t have access to. A quick Google or a search through social media and we can, in less than a second, immerse ourselves in endless accounts, perspectives and insights on difficulties that we may be similarly experiencing. We are met with bullet-point tips and essays alike for coping across the full spectrum of our mental health, and often, it can feel exceptionally empowering.

‘When I received my doctorate, heroin users approached me to ask if I’d write them a script’

From the outside, the life of Dr Martin Ruffley looks enviable — a successful career cooking in top kitchens in Ireland, London and Helsinki; a long-standing marriage; a PhD; and accolades for excellence in teaching culinary arts. Indeed, Ruffley would tell you that he can’t believe his luck; that he has to pinch himself every day when he sees all that he has. For a man who struggled with alcoholism his whole life, he is very happy to be where he is.
