Operation Transformation is returning to our screens in the new year.
Kathryn Thomas will be leading the upcoming season once more which motivates not only those involved in the programme but everyone at home.
Yes five new leaders will take to our screens to inspire the nation.
So when does the show return?
It will be back on our screens on Wednesday 3rd January at 9:35pm on RTÉ One.
Devising the health and wellness plan and guiding the class of 2024 leaders in a new chapter of self-improvement are the team of OT experts; principal clinical psychologist Dr Eddie Murphy, dietitian Sophie Pratt, general practitioner Dr Sumi Dunne and fitness expert Karl Henry.
This season will see the launch of a brand-new Meal Plan devised by OT expert, CORU registered dietitian, and member of the Irish Institute of Nutrition and Dietetics, Sophie Pratt, aiming to aid a more sustainable approach to healthy eating that also reflects the cost-of-living crisis*.
With this year’s Meal Plan Sophie hopes to improve the cooking skills of the nation. So, this year OT wants to encourage young people all over the country to learn how to cook, a key life skill to put them on the pathway to a healthier future.
For the first time, the series has opened the OT Meal Plan to secondary schools across the country, with the Main Meal plan featuring three recipes from Home Economic students across the country. During the series, Sophie will visit each school, cook dishes, and educate students about the value of cooking as an essential life skill.
Speaking about the show’s return Kathryn Thomas said: “Our 2024 leaders are just phenomenal and without a doubt are going to inspire the entire nation as they embark on their health transformations – at the same time encouraging us all to focus on our own health and wellness goals come January too.
“This year we are delighted to launch our very first Operation Transformation National Blood Pressure Day and we are thoroughly delighted Ireland Lights Up is back and we’ll encourage the nation to train with us for the 5k run in the Phoenix Park, the ultimate nod to the power of the Operation Transformation community.”
