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?

The fundamental problems that girls are experiencing now as a result of lack of education from schools

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.

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.

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.
