Four top healthcare practitioners tell us how they begin their day

From breakfast to yoga to paddleboarding, Ciara McDonnell, an avid morning swimmer herself, asks four top healthcare practitioners how they begin their day.EVERY morning without fail, I meet my friend at 6am at our local beach and we swim. It started as a revolt against the seemingly constant sludge of fatigue that was plaguing us after a winter full of comfort food and cosy fires, but it quickly became an essential part of our day.

While we bob along, we chat and laugh and unburden our worries. It’s quiet, and the birds are chirping, and when we go home we are calm and collected and ready for the onslaught of the day.
