This episode is kindly sponsored by HEALF, the go-to destination for all things health and wellness, empowering you to feel and be the best version of yourself.

This week in my kitchen, I’m sitting down for a solo episode to share my personal 2025 health and wellness debrief. I’m chatting about everything from reintroducing meat into my diet after a decade, to the supplements I’m currently loving, the wellness practices I rely on, and the areas I’m still working on.
Hosting this podcast gives me the privilege of learning from so many incredible experts—but you can’t adopt every piece of advice. Sometimes you need to sift through it all and figure out what genuinely supports you. So in this episode, I’m giving you an honest update on where I’m at in my own wellness journey.

In my kitchen this week I am joined by Donna Bartoli someone I genuinely consider as one of the healthiest, most glowing people on the internet. Donna has built a loyal community by sharing her honest wellness journey, intentional and health focused lifestyle and supplement tips online. Some may consider Donna's approach as extreme but in a world where ultra-processed foods and refined sugar is everywhere, to live a truly healthy life you need to be extreme.
Today, we go deep into the diet and lifestyle choices that have helped her transform her wellbeing — and how you can apply them in your own life in a sustainable and enjoyable way.
I could have spoken to Donna for hours and hours but in this episode we cut it down to the following:

This conversation is packed with practical insights and actionable tips as well as going into Donna's personal experience.

In this episode I’m joined by Chris Huntly-Gordon, the co-founder of the innovative brand Killa Vanilla. Chris shares the surprising science behind cravings, how our brains respond to sugar, and why smell can be a powerful tool for behaviour change.
We live in a world where refined sugar is more accessible than ever, and rates of obesity and diabetes continue to rise. But rather than relying on willpower alone, Chris explains how sensory cues can short-circuit the craving cycle and help us build healthier habits for good.

In my kitchen this week, I’m joined by Emily Johnson — best-selling author of two cookbooks focused on living and thriving with arthritis.
Emily first experienced arthritis symptoms at just four years old and was officially diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at twenty. Since then, she’s completely transformed her diet and lifestyle to focus on anti-inflammatory living — a change that not only improved her own health but has inspired thousands through her social media and bestselling books.
When she was first diagnosed, Emily felt isolated and ashamed, having never heard of anyone her age going through something similar. But through sharing her story, she’s built an incredible community and a safe space for others navigating the same challenges.
In this episode, we talk about how diet, lifestyle shifts, and stress management can make a huge difference in how you feel — and how small, mindful changes can have a powerful impact on managing arthritis symptoms.

In my kitchen I am joined by Daisy Kelly, founder of Glow For It, the natural beauty brand that began with a single lash serum and has since unfurled into a full constellation of products from blush to mascara, all guided by the mission to help women feel comfortable and beautiful in their own skin. Daisy shares the original problem she was trying to solve, the early experiments that shaped the brand, and the small wins that slowly gathered momentum.
Glow For It embraced TikTok from day one, documenting the journey, packing orders in real time, and educating a growing community with beauty tips and tricks. That early openness turned TikTok Shop into a launchpad for viral moments, daily lives and a fiercely loyal audience, eventually carrying the brand onto the shelves at Boots.
As well as discussing the business journey, Daisy opens up about balancing her wellbeing while steering a fast-growing company, the pressures that come with visibility, and the habits that keep her centred when everything around her is accelerating. Listeners will find both inspiration and practical insights in this candid, kitchen-table conversation.

In My Kitchen this week: I’m joined by the incredible March Hollingberry — a chronic illness coach and someone who truly embodies strength, grace, and resilience.
March lives with a chronic illness herself, and in this episode, she opens up about her personal journey — from how her condition impacts her day-to-day life to the ways she’s learned to manage it with compassion and courage.
We dive deep into the realities of living with a chronic illness in your 20s — navigating relationships, setting healthy boundaries, and finding balance when your body doesn’t always cooperate.
March’s mental strength and emotional resilience shine through every part of our conversation. Her story is raw, empowering, and a beautiful reminder that even when our bodies challenge us, our spirit can still thrive.
If you’ve ever struggled with your health or felt disconnected from your body, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and inspired.

This week, I’m joined in my kitchen by the brilliant duo Holly Brooke and Joely Walker, the powerhouse founders behind We Are Regular — the gut health supplement brand that’s changing the way we talk about going to the loo.
In this refreshingly honest conversation, we dive deep (pun intended) into all things digestion, bloating, and bowel movements. Together, we share our very real personal journeys with constipation, the silent struggle so many of us face but rarely talk about — and explore why women are disproportionately affected by gut issues compared to men.
Holly and Joely share how their experiences led to the creation of We Are Regular, and how they’re breaking the stigma around poo talk by bringing humour, honesty, and science into the conversation. We also discuss the serious side of gut health — from the rising rates of bowel cancer in women to the importance of knowing your body and advocating for better awareness and prevention.
If you’ve ever suffered in silence with bloating, IBS, or constipation — or just want to feel more comfortable talking about your gut health — this episode is for you. Expect laughs, lightbulb moments, and maybe even a little loo talk you didn’t know you needed.

In this episode, I am joined by Lucy Rayner, better known as Lucy the Osteopath who is a London-based classical, cranial, visceral and paediatric osteopath with over 20 years of experience.
Lucy works holistically across the lifespan, from infants to adults — and has particular interests in airway health, dental / oral function, and integrated nutrition alongside structural balance and nervous system function.
In this episode, Lucy and I dive deep into the crucial, but often overlooked link between airways, breathing, and sleep. We explore how many of us are defaulting to mouth breathing - a habit driven by modern stressors, poor posture, environmental factors, and structural imbalances — and why mouth taping is emerging as a simple, but powerful intervention.

This week in my kitchen, I’m joined by Giselle Boxer, founder of East Healing—a brand deeply rooted in the wisdom of Ancient Chinese Medicine. East Healing offers a range of elegant acupressure products that beautifully merge traditional healing with timeless design.
In this episode, Giselle opens up about her powerful journey. She shares her battle with ME, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome—a relentless struggle marked by years of misdiagnosis and ineffective treatments. After exhausting all conventional medical options, Giselle turned to Chinese Medicine. What followed was a complete transformation: from being in such a dark place that even taking a shower left her bedridden, to reclaiming her life as a vibrant mother and successful founder living the fast-paced lifestyle she once thought impossible.
Giselle also explains the fascinating science behind Ear Seeds, the healing potential of Chinese Medicine, and her unforgettable experience on Dragons’ Den—an appearance that catapulted her business to new heights.
This is an inspiring episode about resilience, the search for healing, and the incredible journey from health struggles to entrepreneurial success. If you’re looking for motivation and hope, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss!

In my kitchen this week, I am joined by Sarah Vachon founder of Citizens of Soil, a brand that’s redefining what olive oil can—and should—be. More than just a kitchen staple, their extra virgin olive oil is rooted in a mission: to elevate farmers, protect the land, and bring us closer to the story behind what we eat.
We talk about the nutritional power of olive oil and why we should all be cooking with olive oil rather than any other fat source, but also dive deeper into the systemic issues in the industry—how farmers are often underpaid and their oils lost in anonymous blends. Citizens of Soil challenges this model by paying producers fairly and directly, supporting regenerative farming methods that nurture biodiversity and preserve soil health.
This is olive oil as a community movement, where every bottle connects you not only to a beautiful ingredient, but also to the people and ecosystems that make it possible.

This week in the kitchen, I’m joined by Matt McEntegart, founder of ROAM—a high-protein meat bar created to fill the gap between wanting a natural, wholefood snack and one that also delivers on macros, protein, and quality without artificial ingredients or added sugar. ROAM is built on the belief that the foundation of a healthy diet lies in meat, dairy, fruit, and vegetables—a refreshing perspective in today’s world of ultra-processed foods.
In this episode, Matt and I explore the role of meat in the diet, which made for a fascinating conversation given that I currently don’t eat meat myself. While we come at the topic from different perspectives, we both strongly agree on the importance of a wholefood-based diet, as well as the value of eating seasonally and locally whenever possible.
Beyond meat, our discussion also touches on the rising interest in the ancestral diet, the common misconceptions around whey protein, and whether buying organic food is truly worth it or just hype. Packed with nutritional insights and a few thought-provoking (and at times controversial) conversations, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.

This week in my kitchen, I’m joined by Suzy Peach, GP and Co-Founder of Peach Wellness Academy (PWA)—a health and wellness curriculum designed to bridge the gap in wellness education for children, though it’s accessible to all ages.
Suzy shares insights from her medical practice, where she noticed a worrying trend: while access to information about health has never been easier, the quality of that information has declined. Despite being more “educated” than ever, many of us are misinformed, self-diagnosing, and relying on inaccurate sources.
Peach Wellness Academy focuses on all aspects of wellness, with a particular emphasis on sexual health and mental health—two areas that are often misunderstood yet widely discussed. The curriculum is designed to complement school learning, not replace it, while also equipping parents with tools to answer the questions of today’s curious minds.
In an age where social media can be both a platform for knowledge and a breeding ground for misinformation, Suzy explains how her experiences as a GP inspired her to create a curriculum that helps children and families navigate health and wellbeing more confidently.
Topics we discuss:
What is wrong with health and wellness education amongst children at the moment?

This week in my kitchen, I’m joined by April Morgan, Head of Nutrition at ARTAH, as well as a Nutritional Chef and Therapist. With years of experience working alongside inspiring brands and incredible women—including a decade of mentorship from Rose Ferguson—April was the perfect guest to dive into the topic of “reset.”
September often feels like a mini January—a chance to regroup after a busy summer, re-establish routines, and set fresh goals for the months ahead. In this episode, I sit down with April to explore how to approach a reset in a way that’s both effective and sustainable. We discuss the key areas to focus on for supporting your liver and gut health, and the small but powerful lifestyle changes that can make the biggest difference.

In my kitchen this week, I’m sharing a highly requested solo episode all about business — specifically the lessons I’ve learned from starting my very first venture, Greedy Vegan, and how those experiences have shaped my approach to building my second business, Healthy Habits.
Starting a business is never a straight line — it’s a journey filled with challenges, reflections, and plenty of learnings. Closing one business and beginning again with another has shifted my perspective in so many ways, and in this episode, I’m opening up about the key takeaways that continue to guide me.
For a bit of background — Greedy Vegan was a nationwide UK delivery service where I curated plant-based products, from brie to salmon alternatives and everything in between.
Now, with Healthy Habits, I’ve stepped into the wellness space, reimagining functional products with an aesthetic twist — starting with our very first launch: mouth tape.

This week in my kitchen, I’m joined by Sophie Waplington, the creator of Soph’s Plant Kitchen. We explore the power of plants, nutrition, and the incredible benefits of eating more whole, natural foods. With so much conflicting diet advice online — from plant-based eating to the carnivore diet — it’s easy to feel confused about what’s “right.” But whatever your dietary choices, adding more plants and legumes into your meals can bring huge health benefits, and this episode highlights exactly why.
Sophie and I also talk about the importance of strength training — not just for physical health, strength, and longevity, but also for building confidence, resilience, and a strong mindset.
If you’re interested in plant-based nutrition, healthy habits, or finding balance in your wellness routine, this episode is full of insights and practical takeaways that you’ll love.

This week, Catch Ups steps out of the kitchen for a special live panel discussion recorded at KARVE’s brand-new studio in London Victoria. We marked the launch with an inspiring conversation featuring three incredible founders: Rhian Stephenson (ARTA H), Matt McEntegart (ROAM), and Lisa Jeffries (JAGA).
Our discussion centres on Functional Nutrition, in celebration of KARVE’s new Functional Nutrition Bar. Each founder has built their brand around natural, functional ingredients — from nootropics like Cordyceps to natural beef protein in ROAM bars. We explore the growing interest in animal-based diets, with Matt and Rhian diving into a thoughtful debate about their benefits (and potential downsides).
We also touch on alcohol, balance, and the idea that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition. This panel was packed with fresh perspectives and valuable insights — I think you’re going to love it.

This week in my kitchen, I'm joined by the wonderful Sophie Bertrand – a mum of two young boys and a registered nutritionist. We dive deep into her personal journey with food, from struggling with an eating disorder to exploring plant-based living, and eventually embracing unexpected cravings like steak.
This episode is all about ditching rigid food rules and tuning in to what your body truly needs. It's easy to get caught up in absolutes when it comes to nutrition, but there's real freedom in letting go of the rulebook and learning to trust your body's signals.
We also explore how to nurture a positive relationship with food in children, and what it means to set them up for long-term nutritional well-being – without pressure, guilt, or shame.
This conversation is honest, eye-opening, and incredibly freeing. I think you’re going to love it.
