Sophie Gourley: Breaking Free from Crash Diets to Embrace Food Freedom

You know, ask yourself, like social media has a big thing, you have to be looking, smiling at social media. Oh, gosh, too many, and it will take me a while to pick one.
Ever felt overwhelmed by the pressures of university life and the constant battle with weight loss? In this episode of 'Off Your Head', Ballygowan's own Sophie Gourley opens up about her journey from the highs of youth to the harsh realities of nursing school. Sophie paints a vivid picture of the relentless stress that came with her nursing degree and how it took a toll on her mental health and relationship with food.
Crash diets became a quick fix but left her feeling worse off, both physically and emotionally. But Sophie's story isn't just about struggle; it's about transformation. A friend's timely advice became the catalyst for change, helping her to confront her unhealthy habits and find a more balanced approach to eating and self-care. Sophie also touches on the pervasive impact of social media on body image, urging listeners to reflect on their own relationships with food and online influences.
If you're looking for a story of resilience and practical tips on achieving food freedom, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for an honest conversation about body positivity, mental health, and the journey to self-discovery.
