Meet Ilona

Hi, I’m Ilona Madden!

Certified Nutritional Therapist and Health & Lifestyle Coach

About Me

When I was just over 40, I was unhappy, unfit, and I was putting on weight which I couldn’t shift any more. Sound familiar?

I often felt so tired, I couldn’t even get out of bed and I was not in a good place mentally either. I blamed getting older and my under-active thyroid. However, after seeing a Nutritional Therapist, I made small changes which had a huge effect on my energy levels and general well-being. This extra energy motivated me to start running again, which motivated me to look even deeper into what I was eating. And I had even more energy to train even more. I was on an upward spiral.

The changes were so profound that I knew I had to share this knowledge.

I trained to become a qualified Nutrition & Health Coach at the Irish Institute for Nutrition & Health then continued on to train as Nutritional Therapist (Crossfield).
Now, I help busy women who want to get their energy back, feel like their “old” self again and want to spend their lives happy & healthy. I do this by getting to the root cause and finding the right nutrients they need right now, but most importantly with the right coaching tools so they can achieve their own health goals. I’m not just give nutrition plans, I also give confidence to follow one.

It is not just about knowing WHAT to do, it’s about finding ways of the HOW and WHY.

I passionately believe (and I am living proof of it) that you can be fitter & stronger and have more energy at any stage in your life. I want to make you feel empowered to take charge of your life and health through nutrition & lifestyle, if what you’ve been trying so far has failed and let you down.

Kind Words From My Clients

If it can happen for them, it can happen for you!

I now feel very confident that I can stick to healthy eating guidelines

“I came to see Ilona Madden in order to improve my diet, nutrition and overall health. I was also struggling with recurrent fungal infections and dry skin. I used to eat a lot of sugary foods, especially snacks and was struggling to give them up. Working with Ilona was very easy, and a very structured and

The entire experience is life-changing!

Ilona Madden is passionate about nutrition and well being. Her approach is a holistic one which is refreshing to experience when sometimes we embark in a loss weighting exercise. We tend to focus only on counting how many kilos we have lost and this is where we might fail from the start. Ilona accompanies you

During the programme my energy improved drastically

I contacted Ilona because I was concerned about my constant weight gain and low energy, my diet was very poor and I often suffered from indigestion. Luckily, I had no other health concerns. I was eating a lot of processed foods and drinking diet coke. I found Ilona’s programme excellent and very information, and it

I always felt good after a session with Ilona

…

I came to see Ilona because I was not happy with my health. I had no energy, was always tired, was not sleeping, and had IBS symptoms. I loved the programme because it was highly informative and Ilona was very supportive. The programme was easy to follow and enjoyable. Ilona was so supportive and there was no judgement if I had a bad day or week. She answered any queries I had and was great at sending me information on recipes, links to exercises etc. I am feeling a lot better. My attitude and knowledge towards food and my overall health have changed. I feel a lot more equipped to cook healthier meals and to deal with any IBS flare-ups. My energy increased so much. I was sleeping better. My nails grew stronger. My mood was so much better. I realised I could still have nice meals but just smarter ways of cooking them. My mood really lifted because I wasn’t as tired all the time. Halfway through my programme with Ilona, I found out I was pregnant. Ilona was so supportive. She helped me tweak my diet so both myself and baby were getting all the right nutrients. I was on supplements Illona had recommended for my IBS symptoms and a multivitamin. I had to stop taking them which I was extremely anxious about as they had really helped control the IBS symptoms and increased my energy etc. Ilona was so helpful in giving me alternative tips and ideas to help with the symptoms, certain foods, teas, meditation links etc. This is my second pregnancy, and I am so happy I was with Illona when I got pregnant. I was so much healthier and happier with my body and health going into this pregnancy and it really helped keep me on track during the pregnancy. I gained so much weight and my diet was bad with my first pregnancy compared to this one. I would recommend Ilona’s programme to anyone. She is so supportive. Knowledgeable and non-judgmental. I always looked forward to our online sessions. It wasn’t just a nutritional talk; we always had a nice chat too and I always felt so good after it. I cannot wait to do another programme with her after I have the baby.

I feel somehow calmer, more balanced since I changed my eating habits.

I joined Ilona’s January 4-week nutrition group course because I wanted to change a few things in my life to a positive. I wanted to learn new ways to express kindness towards myself. I wanted to get to know more people during the lockdown. The way Ilona spoke and presented her PowerPoint presentations was excellent

Without you I would not have the confidence I have today

…

I booked an 8-week programme with Ilona because I was feeling very unhappy in my body and struggled to stay healthy and know what was considered healthy. I also have many allergies which made it hard for me to know how to eat healthy and help my psoriasis. My main goal was to improve general health and gut health. I would have used to tend to eat a lot of pasta, lots of chocolate and goodies, and dairy (lots of cups of tea a day with sugar). In the past, I tried personal training in the gym but it didn’t work for me greatly. I found the programme amazing. It really helped me get on the right track and keep me motivated. It was easy at times and hard at times. At the start it was harder but once I got used to it, it actually was fine. I started eating veg with all meals and stopped eating all dairy mainly. The process was very enjoyable. Helped me feel so much better in myself! I thought it would be hard to not have dairy, especially cause I drank so much tea but now it’s so easy to not have any. I have lost over a stone in weight now and I’m starting to feel so much better in myself. My skin has improved so much and I’m not feeling sluggish and bloated all the time. All I did was just following Ilona’s guidelines and input. When I realised what I was doing was actually causing harm to my body, I now listen to my body and know what causes things, e.g. if I eat dairy now I know I am going to have an upset stomach, so I just avoid it. I am feeling amazing now. I still have some weight to lose but I am in no rush. I have changed my lifestyle so it will not be a quick fix, just healthy choices. I am fairly confident I will stick to this new lifestyle in the future. I might find it hard at times but it just takes going straight back into it again to get me back up and running. I would just like to say thank you so much to Ilona for all your help. Without you, I would not have the confidence I have today. I feel great both mentally and physically and that’s thanks to all your help.

“I was interested in learning more about healthy eating, nutrition and gut health. I also wanted to confirm from my own research on the internet if I was going at it correctly. Ilona’s 4-week class did validate this and more. Having a live online face to face explanation of nutrition etc… was just ideal. The

“I started working with Ilona because I realised my nighttime cravings and emotional eating was out of control. While I would eat quite a healthy diet during the day, in the evenings, I seemed to crave sweet, fatty (such as butter) and salty things. I know I want to be a healthy 80 year old and those habits weren’t serving me. I knew I was self-sabotaging and eating mindlessly. Ilona took a lot of time to listen and look into my past health history and my eating habits. Together, we created a nutrition and lifestyle plan that I could follow easily. I gained a good understanding of how food reacts in my body and visualising this helped me stick to the recommendations. After only one week, I could already notice how my energy levels were improving and that I felt less bloated. I love the food I’m eating and fasting for 14hours was easy and actually very enjoyable as I liked the feeling of my tummy being empty. Keeping a food diary is a great way of keeping myself accountable. After about 3 weeks, people were noticing the changes in my body and were commenting that I looked well. I also felt well and noticed a definite increase in my energy levels. I was back enjoying my weekends and didn’t need them to recover from the week’s work. Despite having a very busy schedule at work, I can now manage it and feel great and full of energy throughout the day. My life doesn’t feel like I am on a hamster wheel anymore. I now feel compassion for my body rather than an intolerance of it! From someone who was often “hangry” when I didn’t eat, it is ok for me now to go through periods of feeling hungry while, for instance, cooking my dinner. There has definitely been a big “switch” that happened in the last 8 weeks. In the past, I would have struggled motivationally once I reached a weight loss goal, but now I know I just don’t want to go back to where I was. And I feel very confident that I am now equipped with a plan that I will stick to. I also understand why we need support over a longer period and that one session is not sufficient to make lasting changes.”

I now have a better understanding of the importance of nutrition to physical and mental wellbeing.

I took part in Ilona’s 4-week Transformation group programme because I am aware that nutrition is such a core element of outlives that is often neglected. The course contained very informative and accessible presentations on a wide range of issues. I now have a better understanding of the importance of nutrition to general physical and

The DNA Test has really helped me stick to the guidelines

…

I signed up for the “Nurture your mind and body” group programme with Ilona in July/Aug 2020 as I was struggling again with my weight, but I didn’t want to do a predetermined weight-loss- routine. I had tried various diets and was hardly eating anything but I was still not losing weight anymore. I was also struggling with a few other health issues. The programme was really enjoyable has really shown me how everything in our bodies is connected, and by understanding the scientific way of what food does in your bodies, really helped me to implement the advice. The 6 sessions helped to clarify so much for me – linking the food intake with insulin resistance, dementia, exercise etc. It all made so much sense. I noticed a huge improvement within the 6 weeks in my energy levels, digestive issues and overall wellbeing. However, I wanted to find out more about what is actually going on in my body, and as there has been diabetes in my family, I was really interested in doing the My DNA Health test. This test helped me understand many of my own symptoms and that indeed there is a genetic component to it. This test provided the most accurate description of me and I found it enlighting and confirming. The recommendations gave me the confidence to stick to the recommendations because they explained for me WHY I have to follow them. The alternative for me to is to face the ill- health and suffering that my late- Mum went through due to a lack of understanding of her health issues. Even though I knew there was possibly a genetic component, I wasn’t sure if it was relevant for me. I wouldn’t Having the genetic pre-disposition in black and white and having received the personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan makes me feel empowered that there is indeed something I can do myself and so it is easier to stick to the general guidelines. Ilona has been really great in explaining the test results and the recommendations to me in the initial consultation and the follow-up 4-weeks later. I now feel that I have a nutrition and lifestyle plan that I will actually stick to and that works for me. And I finally have been losing weight, which is an added bonus!

Much more energy and less digestive issues

…

I had been looking for a Nutritionist online to help me with the complex digestive issues I was experiencing and I came across Ilona on her facebook page. The name Eat Right for You really resonated with me as I felt I needed a plan specifically for my needs and issues with food and digestion. I had seen a Nutritionist before but didn’t feel I got enough advice specifically for my needs and I was still having digestive issues. Ilona was great and took plenty of time to listen, as I have a lot of health conditions. She then took plenty of time to explain to me what was going on in my body and this helped me to understand what she was suggesting for me to do. As I am very busy I didn’t have much time to implement all of her recommendations, but we just went back over everything and focused on a few small things to begin with. Ilona made sure that I was happy with all her suggestions first before she wrote a clear plan which I could follow. Some of the recommendations were so simple but made a huge difference, for example to do my shopping on-line. This helped me so much as I didn’t have the time or energy to get the supermarket shop every week. She also suggested cooking big batches and freezing them so I could have something healthy and tasty when I came in from work rather than grabbing something unhealthy when I was tired and didn’t have the energy to cook. I have definitely much more energy and less digestive issues. Ilona gave me a very clear and structured diet which I am now following and it is definitely helping to heal my gut problems although I know it will take more time. She gave me lots of tips to try different ways of helping my digestion after researching which supplements I could take and working on helping to eat more mindfully. Ilona was so patient and supportive, and she also always responded when I had questions in between our session. She was so supportive and motivating throughout the whole time, especially when I felt like quitting because a lot of things were happening in my life. There are still a lot of health issues that I need to tackle, but I’m happy for now to stick to this routine for the next 3 months. I am so happy I found Ilona, as she really made a difference to my life.

I can highly recommend Ilona’s courses

Last year I took part in Ilona’s 4-week Healthy Eating and Lifestyle group. I am struggling my whole life with food allergies and learned a lot of new information to make better choices and influence my daily life. It was a small group, which made it easy to ask questions and go into more details.

The best of all for me is that my blood sugar levels which have always been high have now reached the lowest level and I feel like a new woman with a zest for life again and the energy to match it.

…

One morning whilst at work, I saw an advertisement in the local community centre for a talk free talk on in Bray Library on the 8th March 2019 from 11-12 and the heading was “Are you addicted to Sugar”. I thought yes I will go along to that and see what’s this about. Once I heard Ilona’s talk at the library I could tick every box and went yes I am addicted and thought need to do something about this as I am also Type 2 diabetic with very poor sugar control. I took part in her 2-week sugar-free challenge with a small group of 5 other people. Once I knew I was seriously addicted to sugar I knew the only way for me to begin was to go “cold turkey” and not have any sugar at all. And it actually worked for me. Before, I used to go into Deals on my lunch break and buy the large bag of red toffets and have them almost gone before I returned to work and if they didn’t have them the disappointment was too much so I would just buy whatever large bag of sweets they had. Today I can walk into the shop and not even think about buying them and if I see them there (which of course they are always there now) I think I don’t need you anymore and it doesn’t bother me. Having been in every weight loss programme around over the last 30 years I loved the fact that this little group had no weigh-in or calorie counting and I have managed to lose weight. Even though I don’t weigh myself I know I have lost weight as my clothes are too big and I was able to buy a new pair of jeans the other day in a size I haven’t been able to fit in since before I was pregnant (which is a long time ago). However, for me the best of all is that for the last number of years my blood sugar levels have always been high 12-16 have now reached the lowest level 6 which is within range and I feel like a new woman with a zest for life again and the energy to match it. I would highly recommend Ilona because she actually listens to you and makes you feel very comfortable and that it is never too late to regain control over your body and what you put into it.

Re-discover your love for the game!

Powerscourt springs relaxing yoga indoor

Take a weekend out for yourself - Improve your golf & your well-being

for life!

Venue: Tulfarris Hotel, Blessington

Date: 5th and 6th April 2024

“Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots – but you have to play the ball where it lies.” –

Bobby Jones

This weekend will be perfect for the start of the golfing season.

We will cover

how you can keep your energy and concentration up during your game - with the right nutrition
how you will stay mindful and fully present - and in the zone - for the full 18 holes
the perfect stretches and movements to keep your body in the flow, flexible and strong for the game
what golf can teach us about resilience and life
how you can set realistic and achievable goals to get your handicap down - but also for all other aspects of your life!

We will do this by using various tried and tested methods that demonstrate life-changing and transformational results for your golf and overall wellbeing & health.

Golf can teach us a lot about life. It can be frustrating at times and exhilarating at others. Often, we approach a healthy lifestyle in the same way - we start full of enthusiasm, have one blip and give up because we feel we just can't do it. Bringing together years of experience in health & lifestyle coaching, Nutritional Therapy, elements of life-coaching, mindfulness practices, golf specific exercises, mindset training, business training, Ilona Madden and Caitriona Fogarty will be your main facilitators of this weekend.

Gift yourself the space and time to look at golf in a holistic way!

Who is this retreat for?

Anyone who wants some time out with like-minded golfers and health enthusiasts

What's included?
