From obsessing over protein and tracking every calorie to the pressure of eating “perfectly” online, wellness culture can quickly shift from healthy habits to unhealthy fixation.</p><p>Joining us is Sophie Gastman, author and Registered Nutritionist. Sophie is known for cutting through nutrition misinformation and bringing a realistic, evidence based approach to wellness.</p><p>Together, we unpack the growing pressure to “optimise” everything we eat and how social media has changed the way we think about health. We also explore what genuine healthy eating actually looks like, without the guilt, restriction or obsession.</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Sophie on socials: <strong>@sophiethenutritionist</strong></p><p><br></p><p>You can order Sophie&#39;s book <em><strong>Find Your Healthy</strong></em> here: <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Find-Your-Healthy-delicious-recipes/dp/1529966922">Find Your Healthy: 100 delicious recipes with a side of science : Gastman, Sophie: Amazon.co.uk: Books</a></p>
