Sarah Hancock, PhD

Dr Sarah Hancock is a research analyst at the University of Adelaide in the School of Public Health.  She completed her PhD in her native New Zealand in public health nutrition: her research focused on the role of nutrition in oral health and general health, measuring nutrition knowledge for health in New Zealand families and health professionals, and understanding multiple barriers at individual and societal levels families with children experience in trying to "eat well".  A particular area of interest for Sarah are the barriers health professionals experience in providing dietary advice. Sarah is a thought leader in advancing the role of nutrition for the prevention of poor oral health; she terms dental caries or tooth decay as the earliest manifestation of the effects of a poor quality diet on metabolic health. She is an advocate for dietary lifestyles that minimise the intake of highly refined, ultra-processed foods for the prevention of poor oral health and chronic diet-related disease that are culturally appropriate and sustainable for population health. Alongside her research work, Sarah is currently training to be a registered health coach at the Holistic Performance Institute, a world-leading provider of training in health coaching, sports nutrition and clinical nutrition practice.

Julie-Anne Griffith

Director Equi-Scotia CIC and Founder of Balanced Strategy Solutions  

Julie-Anne began her working life as a British Horse Society accredited instructor in the mid- eighties when she founded her own successful horse-riding centre whilst still in her teens. 

A brush with cancer in 2007 provides first-hand experience of the inextricable link between physical and mental health and underpins Julie-Anne’s a clear focus on supporting well-being in individuals and organisations. 

Since 2011 she has run her own practice as a strategy facilitator, which was launched through requests for support from fellow delegates on the Scottish Enterprise Rural Leadership programme.   

She’s a senior practitioner level business and executive coach, a trainer for Ofsted and SQA accredited Mental Health First Aid qualifications and holds a Diploma in Coaching Supervision from the International Centre for Coaching Supervision.

Julie-Anne’s leadership of horse related projects resulted in her receiving numerous awards since 2010 from Horse Scotland, the British Horse Society, Businesswomen Scotland, and Riding for the Disabled.

There is evidence that interacting with horses can have a healing effect on humans, including improving mental health, reducing stress, and helping with physical disabilities: 

• Mental health

Equine therapy can help with a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and disordered eating. It can also help with addiction recovery by promoting responsibility, discipline, and self-reflection. 

• Stress

Being around horses can reduce heart rate, blood pressure, and lower the amount of cortisol (stress hormones) in the body. It can also increase endorphins, which can make people feel good. 

• Physical disabilities

Riding can help with balance and coordination, and people with conditions like cerebral palsy or those recovering from accidents have reported physical improvements. 

Other ways that horses can help people heal include: 

• Companionship: Horses can provide companionship and help people create a daily routine 
• Meeting new people: Horses can help people meet new people. 
• Positive memories: For some people, interacting with horses can bring back positive memories and feelings.

Dr Becky Howie is a medical doctor with 20 years of experience and has been a GP for the last 15 of these years. 

Throughout her career, she has observed a decline in the general physical and mental health of her patients, despite the huge advances in medical science. 

About 10 years ago, after observing this trend and seeing illness in her own family, she embarked on a journey to learn more about how our lifestyle impacts our health, well-being, energy and longevity. As a scientist at heart, she was keen to understand the evidence behind it all. She went on to become a board licensed Lifestyle Medicine doctor, and has since incorporated this learning into her day-to-day NHS practice. She introduced group consultations in menopause and made lifestyle discussions an integral part of consultations. 

Her passion lies in assisting mid-life patients and clients with their health and wellbeing. Becky has now founded her own business, Maldod Life, to provide clients with an opportunity to improve their health and well-being in a supportive and empowering environment.

Delia lost her enthusiasm for ‘the talking cure’ over 25 years ago while completing her master’s in clinical psychology, and took the road less travelled, where she’s since immersed herself in the fascinating world of how lifestyle – including nutrition - impacts brain development and function. Delia’s medical PhD provided her with further insights into how stress impacts brain health. Delia now supports behavior change and cognitive/stress resiliency within organizations, and for individuals who want to optimize their brain health, via online courses, workshops, and tailored events internationally.

Oral Health and wellness Warrior: A title of my servitude

Shari Glusi 

As an Oral Health and Wellness Warrior, I bring 18 years of dedicated service as a dental hygienist, with a profound understanding of the mouth-body-mind connection. My own health challenges as a young woman led me down a path of frustration with conventional medicine, sparking a quest for alternative healing modalities. This journey has been rich with learning about nutrition, natural remedies, herbal treatments, and essential supplements, all of which have been pivotal in mastering my metabolic health.

Today, I stand not only as a health care provider but as a guide, steering some patients toward holistic wellness from the dental chair. Each individual interested will get tailored nutritional counseling, reflecting my belief that oral health is intrinsically linked to overall vitality. Beyond the clinic, I’ve extended my reach through my social media platform, on instagram @goodhealthwhispers, where I journal the products and insights that have been instrumental in my wellness journey. It’s a space for empowerment, where others can discover the tools to nurture their well-being and embrace a lifestyle of health.

The incredible Dr Julie McElroy. Who is Julie McElroy?

Dr. Julie McElroy is a Scottish female. She is the embodiment of enthusiasm, drive, and motivation. She has overcome numerous obstacles in her life with success. Julie is a woman with so much to offer as she can think of ideas and concepts for whatever project she works on. She has the perseverance, tenacity, and self-leadership needed to succeed. Julie connects the dots between the challenges and roadblocks we encounter in daily life and achieving our objectives. She also shows that no matter what barriers she faces, Julie never lets them win.

I have mild Cerebral Palsy along with profound deafness, so I choose to wear hearing aids. Despite, or you may say ‘in light of’ my disabilities, I have risen above the barriers to study and have accomplished just a few achievements of which I am proud. (a Doctorate, 2 x master’s degree, a bachelor’s degree). My journey into higher education began when I was at an Additional Needs School in Glasgow. I began to question whilst everyone was doubting my ability to succeed, I wondered how far I really could go and could I stand out or above my peers.

So, what does this high achiever do, well, why not train for a marathon, yes, the London Marathon in the form of Frame Running.  In doing so, created history in becoming the world’s first female to complete this task this year.

Julie – you are an inspiration, and exceptional woman and a true inspiration.
