Sophie Richards: " Window cake and custard creams"

Women's health ambassador, bestselling author and podcaster Sophie Richards joins Matt Tebbutt to unpack the stories behind her surprisingly revealing shopping basket!

Women's health ambassador, bestselling author and podcaster Sophie Richards joins Matt Tebbutt to unpack the stories behind her surprisingly revealing shopping basket - oat bread, sweet potatoes, Medjool dates, eggs and the beloved window cake (that's Battenberg to you and me!).

Sophie shares how growing up on a dairy farm in Carmarthenshire fuelled a childhood diet of custard creams by the tube and half moon cakes from Spar, before a diagnosis of endometriosis at 21 turned her relationship with food completely on its head. She explains how an autoimmune protocol transformed her health, why she now happily eats beef stew for breakfast, and how her dairy-free cookbook went down like a lead balloon with her farming family.

She reveals how documenting her journey on social media accidentally became a full-time career, and how her partner was essentially put on this planet to be her diet match.
