This podcast is about all things food, health and wellness! Host Georgia Symonds welcomes a new guest into her kitchen every week in order to discuss their journey to wellness in whatever capacity that may be!
We believe that food isn’t just the fuel that we put into our bodies, it’s more than that, it brings families and friends together, it creates special moments and life time memories. It affects how we perform, how we think, how we sleep and how we feel in ourselves inside and out.
Therefore Catch Ups In My Kitchen aims to dig into personal stories and careers to discuss how food has had an impact on one's life. We aim for you to finish an episode having learnt some new healthy habits which you can implement into your everyday in order to be that 1% better than the day before!

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 this episode we discuss:

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.
In this episode I discuss the following:

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.

In my kitchen this week, I’m joined by Eleanor Hoath — a nutritional therapist by background, who has since moved into the editorial world. She’s now Head of Content at Boncharge, an editor at Healf, and a contributing voice at the wellness publication Hip & Healthy. In this episode, I wanted to unpack a few common wellness practices and demystify some of the trends we’re all seeing.
We discuss saunas and the ritual Eleanor loves to do while in one, the benefits of red light therapy and its different types, and the power of getting outside in the morning — plus the science behind why that’s so effective. We also touch on creatine, gummies, organ consumption, and much more.
If you ever feel confused about what’s right or wrong when it comes to wellness, you’re not alone — and in this episode, I wanted to make it all feel a little clearer

This week, I’m joined by my friend and incredible entrepreneur, Isobel Perl — the founder of PERL Cosmetics, a skincare brand known for its minimal-ingredient, high-impact products.
PERL was born during lockdown, and thanks to Isobel’s unique approach to formulation, storytelling, and involving her community in the brand journey, it quickly gained traction. The brand launched with a British Pink Clay mask, but it was their viral lash oil — backed by glowing reviews — that truly skyrocketed PERL into success.
In this episode, we dive into Isobel’s inspiring journey of building PERL from the ground up, and what she’s learned about product development, clean beauty, and entrepreneurship along the way. We also chat about what most people don’t know about lash oils, lip oils, and the ingredients in many popular products on the market today.
We’re becoming increasingly conscious of what we put into our bodies — but are we equally mindful of what we put on our skin?
Whether you're curious about clean beauty or dreaming of launching your own brand, this episode is full of insights, inspiration, and a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to be a founder.

This week, I’m joined in the kitchen by Rhian Stephenson, the brilliant founder of ARTAH — a wellness brand known for its high-quality, science-led supplements designed to support a healthy, balanced lifestyle. ARTAH isn’t just about supplements; they also focus on nutrition-first strategies through tailored meal plans, with the belief that food should always come first — supplements are there to enhance and elevate your wellbeing when needed.
In this episode, I sit down with Rhian to get clear on what we actually need when it comes to supplementation. How do we know what our body’s asking for? When is it worth adding extra support? We also dive into ARTAH’s latest launch: creatine — a supplement that’s currently having a huge moment in the wellness world.
There’s been a lot of noise around creatine — is it just for men? Does it cause water retention or unwanted weight gain? Rhian helps unpack the myths and highlights the powerful, science-backed benefits of creatine for energy, cognitive function, strength, muscle definition, and overall health.
If you’re curious about how creatine fits into a wellness routine — and how to optimise your health from the inside out — this is the episode for you.

We dive into how nutrition fuels our cells and impacts our overall wellbeing as women — without falling into the trap of fads or confusion. Jess breaks it all down in a way that makes sense, helping us connect the dots between what we eat and how we feel.

In this episode, she shares her personal story of making some fundamental changes and how she re-evaluated her lifestyle, nutrition, and mindset after coming off the contraceptive pill.

As we are also now coming into wedding season Belle shares her experience and tips on preparing to be a bride — and what she focused on to achieve glowing skin, how to support your inner wellbeing, and how to feel your absolute best from the inside out.

This week in my kitchen, I’m joined once again by returning guest Niall Kiddle, as we dive deeper into his mission to reconnect consumers with farmers and bring us back to a simpler, more intentional way of eating.
Niall is a champion of quality—whether it’s high-welfare meat, nutrient-rich organs, or seasonal vegetables—and he’s pushing back against a system that prioritizes quantity over quality. With 90% of our health rooted in what we eat daily, Niall is developing an innovative app that makes buying directly from farmers as seamless as booking an Uber or Airbnb.
But Niall’s vision goes beyond food. In this episode, we explore what it means to live more intentionally—touching on reducing screen time, the importance of real human connection, grounding in nature, building daily routines, and aligning our diets with the rhythm of the seasons.
If you're passionate about health, sustainability, and simplifying life, this episode is for you.

This week in my kitchen, I’m joined by Dan Bosomworth, founder of Brass Monkey — a leading ice bath brand known not just for its incredible product, but also for its powerful ethos: challenge creates change.
In this episode, Dan and I dive deep into the world of cold water therapy. While the physical benefits are undeniable — offering a full-body reset — it’s the mental transformation that truly stands out. We explore how exposure to the cold can build resilience, shift your mindset, and have a genuinely life-changing impact.
A major influence behind Brass Monkey was none other than Wim Hof, and we talk about how his philosophy inspired Dan to bring this vision to life.
Whether it’s through ice baths or cold showers, this episode will inspire you to give cold water therapy a try — and trust me, the benefits will speak for themselves.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Jamie Clements, founder of The Breath Space, to explore one of the most powerful—and often overlooked—tools we all have at our disposal: the breath.
In a world that moves at lightning speed, where burnout and chronic stress have become the norm, breathwork offers a much-needed anchor. Jamie shares how reconnecting with your breath can help regulate your nervous system, support emotional resilience, and bring you back into your body—out of autopilot and into the present.
We dive into the different forms breathwork can take—from dedicated breathwork sessions to simply taking a mindful breath while waiting for your morning coffee. This isn’t about adding another complicated wellness ritual to your life; it’s about remembering to breathe, with awareness and intention.
Whether you're new to breathwork or already exploring it, this conversation is a reminder of how something so simple can be deeply transformational.

This week we have a solo episode where I share my journey behind launching my new brand Healthy Habits and why the brand means so much to me. Healthy Habits is more than just a wellness brand — it's a lifestyle movement rooted in simplicity, intention, and impact. I wanted to bring you the tools, techniques, and daily rituals that make feeling good feel easy and that has started with mouth tape.
In this episode, I take you back to where it all began — when I was 11 years old, writing a food blog also called Healthy Habits. What started as a childhood passion has now come full circle, evolving into a brand that brings together the tools, techniques, and rituals I genuinely love and use daily. My hope is that they help you build your own Healthy Habits, effortlessly.
I then discuss the power of mouth tape and how it has completely changed my sleep, as well as answering some common and most frequently asked questions about mouth taping.

This week in my kitchen, I’m joined by Peter Scrivner – ex-professional rugby player and Co-Founder of Biowell Health, a service offering cutting-edge therapies designed to work at a cellular level. Their mission is to boost energy, enhance metabolic function, strengthen immunity, and slow the effects of ageing.
After discovering Biowell Health during my own recovery from a knee injury while training for the marathon, I was blown away by the results. I knew I had to get Peter on the podcast to dive deeper into the science and power behind these therapies – and why they’re helping so many people optimise their health and performance.
The therapies that Biowell offer are Cryotherapy, Compression Therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber and Red Light Therapy.

In my kitchen this week, I’m joined by the wonderful Kat Pither — founder of Yogi Bare and a true force in the wellness industry for over a decade.
Kat’s personal journey with anxiety, ADHD, and addiction ultimately led her to discover the healing power of yoga, and inspired her to create Yogi Bare — a brand devoted to movement, connection, and accessible wellness through physical yoga products.
In this conversation, we explore both Kat’s lived experience navigating mental health challenges and how they shaped her approach to life and business. We also take a candid look at the wellness industry today — how something intended to heal and connect us has often become a commodified, unattainable ideal, far removed from its true purpose.

In my kitchen this week, I’m joined by the lovely Olivia Breirley to dive deep into the world of cycle syncing and her inspiring journey to pregnancy while managing endometriosis, PCOS, and adenomyosis.
In this raw, honest, and empowering chat, Olivia shares how being told she might never have children led her to completely rethink how she approached her body, her health, and her hormones. She opens up about how working with her cycle — instead of against it — became the game-changer in her pregnancy journey.
One area that Olivia and I deep dive into is seed cycling and how it's a natural way of regulating your hormones due to the nutrients and lignans in these seeds helping regulate estrogen and progesterone levels. Below we have explained how you can seed cycle:
Follicular Phase (Day 1–14)
(From the first day of your period to ovulation)
Seeds to eat:
These seeds are rich in lignans and omega-3s, which can help support estrogen production and metabolism. They also contain zinc, which is great for egg quality and overall reproductive health.
Luteal Phase (Day 15–28)
(From ovulation to the start of your next period)
Seeds to eat:
Why:
These seeds help support healthy progesterone levels. Sunflower seeds are high in vitamin E and selenium, which support progesterone production, while sesame seeds contain lignans that can help modulate estrogen levels if they get too high in this phase.
The other topics we dive into are:
This episode is a beautiful reminder of how powerful our cycles are, and how making small, intentional shifts to support your hormones can change everything.
Whether you're currently dealing with hormonal issues, curious about natural contraception options, or wanting to learn how to better support your body through every phase — this one’s for you.
