E.158 "90% of your health comes from the food we eat" with Niall Kiddle

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.


The topics we discuss are:

  • why we should be eating organs and colostrum
  • why you started organised 
  • Connecting consumers to farmers through the app
  • The power of connecting with nature
  • Why does the food system need changing
  • How your changing people's lives
  • Disconnecting from social media and reducing screen time
  • The power of routine
  • Running the marathon without any synthetic products

E.156 We are ALL currently living on Autopilot with Jamie Clements

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.



The topics we discuss are:

  •  I want to start with your most recent Substack article where you wrote a letter to your 23 year old self
  • What did breath work save you from 
  • The growth of the wellness industry but also the growth in mental health struggles and anxiety
  • We are increasingly disconnected from our own body - why 
  • What is the one breath work practice a listener can do right now to connect themselves
  • Breathwork has a bad rep for being something that people do when they have experienced trauma, stress or are highly anxious - but actually it can be something for everyone to do everyday as we are all victims of constant micro-stressors 
  • How can people integrate breath work in a busy lifestyle
  • Two types of breath work - up regulatory and down regulatory - explain 
  • The benefits of mouth taping
  • What’s in your bag

E.154 Why We Should All Be Mouth Taping and The Story Behind Healthy Habits

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.

E.151 Wellness is Overwhelming with Kat Pither

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.

We dive into the following topics:

  • 17-year-old Kat and her battle with addiction
  • Kat's journey to Yoga and Wellness
  • Kat's journey to founding YogiBare
  • Alcohol and going sober
  • Having ADHD and what that means and how she copes with it
  • Female Health
  • The overwhelming wellness industry
  • What wellness means to Kat

E.150 Why we should all be cycle syncing with Olivia Brierley

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:

  • 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds
  • 1 tablespoon of ground pumpkin seeds


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:

  • 1 tablespoon of ground sunflower seeds
  • 1 tablespoon of ground sesame seeds

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:

  • Olivia's journey and experience with endometriosis, PCOS and adenomyosis
  • The power of cycle syncing and how you used it to change your fertility trajectory
  • The effects of hormonal contraception, particularly the pill, on your cycle and fertility — and Olivia’s honest, thoughtful views on it after years of navigating it herself
  • Societies impossible expectations of women vs the reality 
  • Why understanding and connecting with your cycle is so empowering, whether you’re trying to conceive or simply want to feel better, more balanced, and in tune with your body
  • Wellness non-negotiable that have helped you deal with endometriosis and PCOS


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.

E.147 Born Deaf and Wanting To Fit In with Georgia Meacham

In my kitchen this week I am joined by Georgia Meacham who was born deaf and wears two hearing aids. Ten years ago this wouldn't have been the first sentence used to describe Georgia, instead it would have been the fact that she is also a model and an actor, whilst also advocating for the Vegan diet and lifestyle. However, Georgia used to hide the fact that she was deaf due to the fact that she thought she would fit in, have a better chance of being chosen for modelling and acting jobs and have a better chance in relationships if she hid her hearings aids. This resulted in constant stress and anxiety and put her at a disadvantage where she wasn't getting the help she needed.


Everything changed when she decided to embrace her deafness, own her story, and advocate for others in similar situations. In this episode, we dive into the powerful shift from resisting a label to reclaiming it as a strength. Georgia opens up about how, for most of her life, she didn’t want to be defined by her deafness—she just wanted to be “normal.” But now, she sees it as a source of empowerment, shaping her journey in ways she never imagined.

This is such an inspiring episode that I think your going to love!


The topics we discuss are:

  • You were born deaf - what did that mean for you growing up?
  • Some of the challenges at school and making friends 
  • Speech - how has this been affected - what did you do growing up to help this 
  • Opening up about your disability - what did that look like before you opened up and what does it look like now?
  • The concept of being defined by a situation and letting a situation define you
  • The daily struggles of being deaf and what that looks like
  • Speaking in parliament
  • Navigating loud social situations
  • Discrimination - have you ever felt discriminated against?
  • Relationships
  • Your vegan - have you always been vegan?
  • What does wellness mean to you?

E.145 All Things Bone Broth with Claudia Founder of Holy Cacao

This week in my kitchen, I’m joined by Claudia Beresford, founder of Holy Cacao—a bone broth cacao company that sold out overnight for all the right reasons. Combining the powerful health benefits of bone broth and cacao, Claudia has created a naturally delicious, nutrient-dense drink that’s nothing short of genius.

In this episode, we dive into why incorporating bone broth into our diets has been transformative for our health—though in very different ways. Naturally rich in collagen and renowned for its gut-healing properties, bone broth is a powerhouse of nourishment. Despite following a plant-based diet for years, I was excited to introduce it into my routine for its natural collagen benefits.

Beyond the health perks, Claudia shares the incredible journey behind launching Holy Cacao—from concept to an unexpected overnight sellout, thanks in part to nutritionist Emily English falling in love with the product.

This is a brand you’ll want to experience for yourself—not just for its delicious taste but for its deeply nourishing benefits.


Claudia recommends to make it with hot water and your milk of choice frothed and then stir in a tea spoon of raw honey for a boost of natural sweetener


The book that Claudia references is Deep Nutrition by Catherine Shanahan which you can buy here


Topics we discuss in this episode are:

  • Let’s start with benefits of bone broth
  • If someone is currently not drinking bone broth why should they consider it?
  • When did bone broth start to play a part in your life 
  • Benefits of cacao
  • Where did the idea of Holy Cacao come from
  • How has it been since launching?
  • Some of the pivotal moments in growing the business

E.144 Food Freedom, The Glucose Goddess and Seed Oils with Sophie Gastman

*This episode comes with a TRIGGER WARNING*

This week in my kitchen, I’m joined by Sophie Gastman, a nutritionist and food influencer, who opens up about her personal journey from struggling with restrictive eating and body dysmorphia to finding food freedom. Sophie shares how her decision to go vegan as a way to control her eating disorder led her to go without a period for six years. She then walks us through her transformation as she worked to remove the strict rules around her diet, ultimately reaching a place of food freedom. Today, Sophie uses her Instagram platform to share the content she wishes she had when she was younger — a place where she debunks popular myths and misinformation, and where food is celebrated rather than demonized.

In this episode, Sophie and I take a deep dive into the "Glucose Goddess" and examine whether the claims being made are factual or misleading. We also explore why seed oils have become a controversial topic and where the sudden backlash against them has come from.

Packed with valuable insights, this episode is an empowering conversation that shows how food is so much more than just fuel. It can influence your travel, family life, menstrual cycle, and even your entire personality.


The topics we talk about are:

  • Sophie's food journey
  • Why she went plant-based
  • Why she then re-introduced animal products
  • How the transition was - the struggles along the way
  • The Glucose Goddess
  • Why oats are demonised
  • The perfect porridge recipe
  • De-bunking common myths shared online
  • Seed oils - are they as bad as they're made out to be
  • Diet culture
  • Sophie's relationship with food and how it has changed
  • Growing online in the food space
  • Growing up feeling like you don't fit in
  • What Sophie would tell her younger self

Catch Ups In My Kitchen

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!
