Every second Tuesday morning Polly from Evergreen Healthfoods Galway chats with Keith on Galway Talks for our Good Health Naturally advice slot.
Polly has worked in Evergreen Healthfoods for 15 years and currently is the manager of Evergreen in the Eyre Square Shopping Centre. She holds a diploma with distinction in Health Food Retailing and also awarded the ‘Teddy Marsden Award’ for exceptional work in the field of Herbal Medicine.
Her areas of study and interest are women’s hormone balance including fertility and menopause, and the study of how to manage pain and inflammation. Polly first began to be interested in herbal remedies and treating illness with diet at about 9 years old, when a member of my family went into complete remission from rheumatoid arthritis- from not being able to work or even get out of bed, to being a normal active person within the space of a month.
As well as being the store manage, Polly is the training manager for all seven Evergreen stores. "I tell the staff that the best we can do is to listen and share as much knowledge we have with the customers. That way, we are doing everything we can to help the customer to help themselves"
