Deirdre Murphy

Deirdre is a co- treasurer and committee member for the Irish Coalition for People Living with Obesity (ICPO).

With changing hormones during her teenage years, Deirdre found PCOS a factor for her increasing weight despite being very active. Age 16 was the start of her dieting journey where she would lose weight and put it back on again, plus more. Since treatment, Deirdre is off her sleep apnoea machine and most importantly despite fertility issues, had another baby which would not have happened without losing the weight. Through advocating with ICPO she wants help other people find the right help and support in managing their obesity.
