Two things that so many women experience when dealing with their health – but few talk about.In this penultimate episode of Series 1 of The Finally Found Podcast, host Sophie Richards turns the spotlight on her own story – from the early years of being told her pain was “in her head,” to four surgeries, emergency hospitalisations, and the devastating prospect of losing her ovaries in her early 20s.Sophie shares the pivotal turning points that changed her path: discovering truths about endometriosis, learning why the wrong surgery left her in agony, and finally finding a specialist who listened. She also opens up about egg freezing, how she battled through endless doctors and dead-end medical appointments, and why inflammation became the missing piece in her healing journey.Listeners will hear how the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet became the tool that changed everything, restoring her to a life without pain after a decade of symptoms – and how these lessons have shaped her upcoming book The Anti-Inflammatory Reset.Whether you’re navigating endometriosis yourself, waiting for a diagnosis, or supporting someone you love, this episode offers honesty, hope, and practical insight.Follow Sophie…- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sophie.richards- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sophie.riichards- Get the AIP Guide: https://stan.store/SophieRichards?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacmbbRV99a4OZ_LpYSup1ubNG3LDfeAwHMBux3_QzV7NwwoPZ1CHFmvvn8UVw_aem_2dbP7V5DU-BzVAIuP3FGlw- PREORDER Sophie's debut book, 'The Anti-Inflammatory 30-day Reset: Simple Steps to Transform Your Health for Good' : https://amzn.to/45x0aHdDiscover Found – the women’s health community…- https://www.instagram.com/found.womenshealth- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@found.womenshealthThank you to our exclusive sponsor, Beurer 💛We’re proud to be partnering with Beurer, a brand that champions accessible, empowering wellness – especially when it comes to hormone health, stress and sleep.As a Finally Found listener, you can get an exclusive discount using the code 'FOUND' at checkout.✨ Sophie’s favourite product from the range – mentioned in this week’s ad – is the EM50 (https://www.beurer.com/uk/p/64854/) designed to naturally relieve period pain.The Finally Found Podcast is a Bear Lane Production http://bearlaneproductions.comMusic licensed via PremiumBeat:• Code: G7JOBLCCWZFGZF6T• Code: UME4LVKJK8FA95R2
