In this episode of Beyond The Studio, Hayley is joined by Lauren Johnson-Reynolds, also known as The London Wellness Coach, for an honest and insightful conversation around body image, nutrition, and wellbeing.
In a world where comparison is constant and unrealistic standards are everywhere, building a healthy relationship with our bodies can feel more challenging than ever, especially for young people.
Lauren shares her personal journey from struggling with body confidence and anxiety, even while living out her dream career, to finding a more balanced, informed, and supportive approach to health and wellbeing.
Together, they explore:
- The impact of social media and comparison on body image
- Why understanding nutrition and hormones matters
- How to support young people in building a positive relationship with food and their bodies
- Creating sustainable, realistic habits for the whole family
This is a reassuring and empowering conversation that shifts the focus from restriction to understanding, and from pressure to confidence.
