After an incredible first season of The Finally Found Podcast with experts and guests, Sophie closes the series with a special episode alongside her partner, rugby player Dillon Lewis. Together, they share the highs and lows of navigating endometriosis in a relationship – from fertility conversations on the third date to the reality of sex, love, and intimacy when chronic illness is involved.Sophie and Dillon open up about what it really looks like behind the scenes: the awkward, funny and sometimes heartbreaking moments that come with dating when your health isn’t straightforward. From egg freezing chats on the 3rd date, to hospital scares to learning how to communicate about pain and desire, they reflect honestly on how endometriosis has shaped their relationship from day 1 – and why talking about it matters.This episode is about more than just Sophie’s story – it’s about the partners who walk alongside women’s health journeys, and the love, humour, and resilience that makes it possible.

Trigger Warning & Disclaimer: This episode contains in-depth discussion of chronic pain, medical dismissal, surgery, fertility struggles, restrictive eating protocols, and emotional distress. The experiences and approaches shared are personal and should not be taken as explicit medical advice. Always speak with your GP or a qualified health professional before making changes to your diet, lifestyle, or treatment plan.--Dismissal and misdiagnosis. 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

New conversations drop every Wednesday. ✨Many of us think of sleep as a “nice to have” — but what if it’s actually the missing piece behind your stress, hormones, energy, and even how you see the world?In this episode of The Finally Found Podcast, Sophie Richards sits down with Dr Sophie Bostock, The Sleep Scientist, to explore why sleep is the most powerful (and most overlooked) foundation of health.Dr Sophie shares the three systems that control how well we sleep:- your circadian rhythm- your sleep pressure- your stress response…and explains how small changes to light, food, caffeine, and relaxation can completely transform your nights (and your days).This isn’t about perfection or rigid routines. From the truth about trackers and naps to the real reason you keep waking up at 3am, Dr Sophie offers science-backed, compassionate advice that makes better sleep feel realistic - and genuinely life-changing.Links, Socials & Products
