The lovely Sophie Ferguson from sunny Bondi, Sydney is bit of a jack of all trades, and has been going through a lot of health issues, especially with the gut. When chatting to Soph, Ash saw so much of herself in her – a busy woman, working lots with gut issues she couldn’t get to the bottom of. She partied a lot when she was younger, and is starting to step away from that now as she is working full time as the social media producer for Better Homes & Gardens, is a mat Pilates instructor and host of her own podcast High Tides and Salty Vibes where she interviews local creatives doing cool things.

Here’s a summary of what we spoke about:

• What Soph was like growing up, and how she was constantly bullied
• How being bullied shaped her health journey
• Her health journey from childhood until now
• Her current food intolerances
• The symptoms she can’t get to the bottom of
• How she’s altered her lifestyle due to these health battles
• Her advice for those in the same boat
• Advice on how to manage unresolved symptoms
• Tips to manage flare ups with a busy schedule
• And more!

“When my symptoms are really bad, my anxiety gets out of control and vice versa. If I see a photo and it triggers a memory, my gut instantly drops and I feel sick in the stomach – it’s so linked.”
