Not long to go until The Everywoman Festival 🎪 ☀️

Arriving at the Business Design Centre this weekend, Everywoman Festival promises a day of empowerment, connection and insight centred around women's health and wellbeing.

One session not to miss? According to festival founder and organiser Dr Julie Cornish:

"The Nutribollox session on the main stage with Dr Megan Rossi and Dr Liz O’Riordan. Women in the UK spend around £150 per year on supplements and this goes up to £1,800 per year after the age of 40. As a doctor, I’m interested in learning more about the evidence for supplements that many of my patients take and also talking about some of the misinformation that’s out there, particularly around cancer."
