Meet our Speaker: Dr Ellen McKenna
Plants, Phytoestrogens and Female Health. The Whole Story

Our bodies are exposed to three sources of oestrogens: endogenous oestrogens, xenoestrogens, and phytoestrogens.
Current scientific research indicates that phytoestrogens are beneficial for the health of our bones, cardiovascular, and nervous system.
But scientific research also shows that phytoestrogens can mimic the action of our own oestrogen.
Does this mean that phytoestrogens can cause cancer or encourage metastasis?
Their long-term safety will be discussed along with their benefits throughout our lives.

Biography
Ellen has been involved in education, research, and herbal medicine for many years. Despite her love of research, she has always been intrigued with what Nature could provide for improving and maintaining health. Having been given the book: “CANCER Why We’re Still Dying to Know The Truth” written by Phillip Day, a lifelong family friend and GP based in New Zealand, Ellen’s career direction changed. She left her job and in 2008 qualified as a Naturopathic Herbal Practitioner.
Today Ellen owns and runs a holistic health and well-being clinic in Portadown and Belfast, called William Street Apothecary. Here she combines her love of research with herbal and nutritional health clinics. She also offers holistic aromatherapy massage, Dr Hauschka facials and oncology well-being treatments.
Ellen has been a member of Irish Register of Herbalists (IRH) for nearly 20 years and has serviced on the committee in different roles over the years, including Secretary and Treasurer and she is currently the IRH President. She is a member of the Royal Societies of Chemistry and Biology and is a chartered chemist, biologist and scientist.

Join us and gain pearls of wisdom from Dr Ellen McKenna; avail of the array of exhibitors, keen to share their product information, discounts and more with you. AND gain the PRICELESS networking and community building with fellow like-minded colleagues on the day.

Tip #10: Write something — by hand! ✍️

In a digital world, handwriting might seem old-fashioned, but it boosts brain activity, supports emotional wellbeing, and helps maintain dexterity.
Whether it’s journaling or something creative, putting pen to paper can do wonders for your mind and mood.

Let’s improve our health together.

Stretching isn’t just for athletes — it’s for all of us, at any age. It keeps muscles flexible, supports joint mobility, and helps release tension.

🧘 Tip #9: Build a simple stretching routine into your week. Start small — a couple of times a week is great. Focus on key areas like hamstrings, calves, hips, neck, shoulders, and back.
Always warm up first (a quick walk will do!) and stretch gently — no bouncing, no pain.
Let’s keep moving well, for life.
