In my kitchen this week I am joined by Melanie Lawson, founder of Bare Biology, a British supplement brand known for its high-quality omega-3 fish oils and marine-based supplements.Melanie launched Bare Biology after struggling to find a fish oil she trusted while navigating postnatal depression and OCD. Frustrated by the lack of transparency around sourcing, purity and potency in the supplement industry, she set out to create the kind of product she wished existed, as at that time she was sourcing hers from the states. Melanie wanted one that prioritised sustainably sourced ingredients, high therapeutic levels of omega-3, and rigorous third-party testing. What began as a personal mission has grown into a respected UK wellness brand with a loyal following among nutritional therapists and health practitioners. In this episode, Melanie shares the story behind creating Bare Biology, we focus in particular on fish oils, why omega-3 fatty acids are so important for overall health, and why the quality, purity and source of the fish used can make such a difference when it comes to choosing a supplement.Melanie explains what to look for on labels, why potency matters, and how sustainably sourced oils can provide higher levels of beneficial EPA and DHA.Beyond fish oils, we also discuss the supplements Melanie believes can be most beneficial alongside a healthy diet, including vitamin D and magnesium, and what she considers to be the core foundations when it comes to supporting your body nutritionally.Finally, Melanie speaks openly about her own health journey, from living with OCD for much of her life to her more recent ADHD diagnosis and how she has built and run a successful business while navigating these challenges.It’s an honest and inspiring conversation about resilience, entrepreneurship and the importance of supporting both physical and mental wellbeing.Topics we discuss: Mel's story to starting Bare BiologyGrowing organically in a fast paced indsutryHow to assess the quality of the supplements your taking The importance of a high quality fish oilThe staple supplements most people should take Mel's biggest bug bare in the supplement industryThe power of Vitamin DThe power of Creatine Living with ADHDGetting your diet right and what that means Sponsors:Healthy Habits - Try mouth tape today and get 20% off your first purchase with code CATCHUPS20click hereThis episode was hosted and produced by Georgia SymondsGeorgia’s Instagram - click here!Bare Biology Instagram - click here!Check Bare Biology out hereFor more information and other interesting articles check out our website: www.catchupsinmykitchen.com   Hosted on Acast.

This week in my kitchen, I’m joined by Catherine Farrant - mother of four and a passionate advocate for homeschooling, regenerative farming, organic food, and non-toxic beauty and skincare.Catherine is the founder of OSSA Organic and Fierce Nature, two sister brands built on the philosophy that simple, natural living is best.

Fierce Nature is a natural skincare and makeup line, with tallow at the heart of every formulation.Catherine’s approach to health is deeply personal. After years of pain and not feeling her best, she stripped everything back to the basics - only to realise there were few brands that truly reflected this way of living. That realisation led her to create products rooted in transparency, nourishment, and integrity.As we become increasingly aware of what’s in the food we eat, the skincare we use, and even the clothes we wear, this episode takes a deep dive into why being curious and informed about ingredients matters - and how returning to simplicity can help us live, feel, and be the healthiest version of ourselves.The topics we discuss are:Catherine's passion for health and wellness?Where the idea for OSSA organic and Fierce Nature came fromHow Catherine lives very intentionallyWhat an intentional lifestyle looks likeHow the wellness industry has changed in the last 10 yearsThe popularity of bone broth and how it has gained traction more recentlyThe benefits of bone brothBenefits of ColostrumWhy Catherine launched Fierce NatureHow can natural skincare work the same way as active more medical grade skincareWhy non-toxic skincare is importantHow Catherine has brought up her children What wellness means to her Sponsors:Healthy Habits - Try mouth tape today and get 20% off your first purchase with code CATCHUPS20click hereThis episode was hosted and produced by Georgia SymondsGeorgia’s Instagram - click here!Catherine's Instagram - click here!Fierce Nature's Instagram - click here!Ossa Organic Instagram - click here!For more information and other interesting articles check out our website: www.catchupsinmykitchen.com  Hosted on Acast.
