Betting on the results of an election is not unusual but Polymarket is not a typical bookies. It allows punters to take and then change their position on all manner of events, from when the Strait of Hormuz might open to whether Taylor Swift will be pregnant before she gets married.So when Irish Times investigative reporters Conor Gallagher and Rachel Lavin noticed almost €1 million had been wagered on the upcoming Dublin Central byelection on Polymarket, it raised enough red flags for him to delve deeper.Bets on Gerry Hutch accounted for the bulk of the spend by punters. And while the amount of money involved is significant, it was the activity of the Polymarket users once they'd placed the bets that was unusual. And where did all this money come from?Gallagher explains how Polymarket works, why the Dublin Central byelection has proved such a magnet and what experts say the activity around the bets on Hutch point to.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Rachel joins us as a beacon of hope and an ardent warrior in the battle against the constraints of diet culture.  She helps women who are stepping out from the shadows of trafficking and showing them a new source of strength through the healing power of nutrition.

Rachel began to do the work on my mind, body and soul. Writing her book was her way of sharing my message to women that you are not alone! Now using her book Rachel wants to help people who have had or a still experiencing negative body image. By using what she now refers to as my three pillars of fitness; Nourishment for both the mind and body, Movement & Rest.  “My mission is to create a safe space for all women to feel whole in their own body” – Rachel Lavin   What We Discuss In This Episode: Rachel shares her personal story of what she went through for the first half of her life with not only just the way she felt about herself, but the way she felt about her body, When she turned 40, she decided she wanted to be happy - just living her life to the fullest.  Rachel took some time, for a lot of self-reflection and dealing with her past.  Rachel shares how ditching that “diet mentality” is something we all need to do. Many of us have forgotten how to trust our body. What does that mean? It's really reintroducing that relationship to your body, knowing your hunger signals are real.  Think of it like this, you don't have to tell your body when it's tired.  It goes to sleep. You don't have to tell your body when to go to the bathroom. If you go to the bathroom, you have signals that tell you what your body needs.  And your hunger is no different. Our stomach growls for a reason. It's trying to let you know it needs some nutritional foods.  Rachel shares her belief that often we're forcing ourselves to eat goods we don't enjoy. She encourages women to broaden their horizons when it comes to food.  She shares how to take note of how we feel when we eat certain foods. Did it disrupt your digestion? Did it make you feel bloated?  Did it make me have a stomachache or headaches or other things you experienced? Once you figure it out, you just don't have to think about it anymore.  Lynne and Rachell tackle the huge issue that we have about how we love ourselves. Maybe you've got a bulging belly because that often comes in midlife or maybe you've got a lot of birth scars. Often, we look at our body and don't like what stares back at us in the mirror. So how do we learn to love ourselves and love our bodies just as they are?  Rachel shares how important it is to start understanding your body is a gift, but you've thought this way for so long that you need to change the narrative.  Rachel shares the steps she took to begin to see her body this way and to love her body again.   Rachel then shares some easy ways to add movement into our life so that we increase our health and wellbeing.   Rachel encourages us to just take a simple, simple step.  Find yourself any color post that you want, something bright and cheery, your favorite color, and just write something about yourself, something that you know that you don't believe.  And say it out loud to yourself for a week and see how you feel.  According to Rachel, you'll see and feel a difference.   Resource from Rachel Lavin: Check out Rachel's book, The Doughnut Diaries: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1945446943 Connect With Rachel Lavin: Website: https://rachellavinwellness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rachel.lavin Instagram: https://instagram.com/rachellavinwellness Connect with Lynne: If you're looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized Healthy Women's Club.

Rachel is the author of Doughnut Diaries, Personal trainer, and certified Health couch. She talks to is about body love! Regardless of the shape, size, etc. You Matter and you're beautiful!

In 2018 Fitness and Health Coach Rachel Lavin said enough to the diets and self-sabotage she had been creating for herself for almost all her life. Rachel had been every body size you could count and had a closet full of clothes to prove it. Rachel learned how to embrace healthy cooking (rather than eating the packaged diet foods she was used to surviving on) by being open to the process, with a healthy dose of curiosity and openness to the benefits of eating real healthy food. As a result, Rachel tapped into her intuition and mindfulness and learned what foods work for her body, what don't, and how to be okay with all of it. Rachel went on to write a book called The Doughnut Diaries, a personal story about her journey to make peace with her body. She now coaches women, based on the principles in her book, to love their bodies and make peace with exactly where they are at.

If I asked you “Do you love your body?” would your answer be dependent on how well your next diet works or whether you reach your goal weight or if you had more time at the gym? Could you say you love your body right now? I know I've struggled with saying that as so many of us have, especially women. My guest, author of “The Doughnut Diaries” and certified health coach Rachel Lavin, is on a mission to teach body love and help people heal from negative body image. Rachel has experienced not loving her body at every size from 12 to 0 so she knows that self acceptance is not in weight loss but in mindset.    Rachel reached a point where, as she put it, “I got sick and tired of being sick and tired”. She reached a point of just being tired of feeling bad about herself. She worked to shift her mindset from feeling ugly and betrayed by her body to being able to wake up and tell herself she's beautiful and mean it. She established three pillars of fitness - nourishment for body and mind, movement, and rest - to encourage women to find the same body love. Rachel and I talk about her book, researching body positivity, how our messaging about our bodies affects our children, and why physicians need to abandon reliance on the BMI and focus on actual health. The messages in this episode are so personal and valuable, I hope you find them as helpful as I do. About Rachel Lavin:Rachel Lavin is a Published author of “The Doughnut Diaries”, Professional Speaker, Body Love Coach, Certified Health Coach, Certified Personal Trainer.

For decades the fitness industry has focused on narrative largely based around body composition. Simply put, the message has been; you exercise to get your “beach bod.” No matter how you look at it, this narrative has proliferated through much of the industry's marketing. Large organizations and individual professionals alike have been very body composition-centric in their approach to messaging fitness and exercise, and in doing so alienated a large portion of consumers that might otherwise engage with the industry.Our guest in episode 93, Rachel Lavin, is on a crusade to change that. Rachel is a Published author of The Doughnut Diaries, Professional Speaker, Body Love Coach, Certified Health Coach, Certified Personal Trainer. Her mission is to create a safe space for all women to feel whole in their own body.In this conversation will discuss what organizations and individual fitness professionals can do to cultivate a body neutral approach to fitness and exercise. Not only will we discuss the actionable steps necessary to make this a reality, but we will also talk through the important business and public health implications of doing so. This is a crucial topic, coming at a very important time for industry and our nation, and Rachel has a lot to teach us!Show Notes Page: https://www.wellnessparadoxpod.com/podcast/episode/93 Our Guest: Rachel LavinRachel is a Published author of The Doughnut Diaries, Professional Speaker and Body Love Educator, Certified Personal Trainer and a Certified Health Coach.
