Our guest this week is Cassie McVeigh from Vitality Clinic - general practitioner with an interest in menopause management.

We talk about her starting out in dentistry then moving to GP and why she specialises in helping women through menopause. Why she moved to Sligo, her love of the sea plus much more. #sligolife 

Heres some more information about Cassie she shared.

I work with women providing individualised menopause and lifestyle advise with the aim to make the menopausal transition easier and to promote health and wellness into mid-life and beyond.

Are you a Sligo Native? If no what is the story of how you moved here?: No I’m from Fermanagh but we often visited Sligo as kids. My husband is from Dublin but a keen surfer since he was a teenager so we loved here so he can be near the waves and still have plenty of time for family.

What do you love about living in Sligo?: The sea, the scenery, the outdoor lifestyle, the cafes and the people.

If you could wave a magic wand what would you fix or bring to Sligo ie. facilities, shops, restaurants, culture/arts?: A 25m pool to Strandhill.

What are you looking forward to in the future in your personal and professional life?: 

Getting a better work life balance to spend more quality time with my husband and kids but also to provide a good level of service to my patients. Finding the time to swim more and maybe try to get a dip in the sea every month of the year.

What are your must do Sligo recommendations? Restaurants/Walks etc.: 

Hazelwood, the cafe culture - the list is endless, Cosgroves deli and dipping at Rosses point pool.
