Description

In this uplifting and deeply inspiring episode, Sandra Roycroft-Davis sits down with Julie, a nurse living with fibromyalgia, who shares how she broke free from 40 years of yo-yo dieting, emotional eating, and chronic pain. Julie's story is one of quiet strength, self-compassion, and the life-changing impact of the Slimpod programme. From struggling with energy, binge eating out of boredom, and sugar cravings… to dropping two dress sizes and feeling stronger, calmer, and more in control — this is the kind of transformation that brings real hope.

We Discuss:

  • How a medical comment at age 17 triggered decades of dieting

  • Julie’s battle with fibromyalgia and how it impacted her eating habits

  • The surprising effect of starting with 1 minute of exercise a day

  • Why Slimpod worked when nothing else did

  • Ditching daily weigh-ins and the self-sabotage cycle

  • How Julie’s mindset, sleep, energy, and self-worth completely changed

  • Navigating lockdown alone without turning to food for comfort

  • Why this is not just a weight loss programme, but a whole life shift
