In this episode of the Conquer Food podcast, I chat to long-serving TEAM Bootcamper and the UK's only teacher with coprolalia Tourettes syndrome (The swearing one) Natalie Davidson & her wife Leigh-Anne.

Natalie was attacked and raped at age 21 which triggered small ticks and Tourette words. She was subsequently diagnosed with Tourettes 3 years after qualifying as a teacher. In addition to her great story, she shares her success tips to losing 8 stone.

Natalie has been beaten up, arrested and thrown out of restaurants because of her ticks. The whole episode is a great lesson on how we can choose to react to events in your life.
