Description

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, 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.Topics we discuss:Why poo’ing is so important for overall healthConstipation — the worst thing on the planet (and our personal journeys with it)How alcohol affects your bowel movementsWhy women get more constipated than menWhy going on holiday often leads to constipationThoughts on laxatives and why natural options are betterWhat’s inside We Are Regular and how it worksOther ways to stay regular and support gut health naturallyLaunching We Are Regular and getting comfortable talking about poo in publicFunny poo stories and moments that keep it realSponsors:CALO - We are sponsored by CALO a food delivery service which provides nutritionist-approved, chef-made meals, delivered fresh, daily.

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.The topics we discuss are:Airway & Development: Why Lucy focuses on airway health and how early development shapes our long-term health.Lifestyle & Jaw Development: How factors like breastfeeding, diet, and modern habits influence oral health, facial growth, and jaw structure.Mouth Taping: Why nasal breathing during sleep is essential — and how mouth taping can support better rest and recovery.Airway Health Defined: What “airway health” actually means and why it’s foundational to overall wellbeing.In Practice: The most common breathing, posture, and structural issues Lucy sees in her clinic today.Nutrition & the Carnivore Approach: Why Lucy follows a carnivore diet — and how chewing, biting, and food texture relate to jaw strength and airway development.To follow Lucy on Instagram click hereSponsors:One Zone - The app that will change your London lifestyle, giving you all the recommendations you need for the best food and drink experiences in the cityDownload here 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!For more information and other interesting articles check out our website: www.catchupsinmykitchen.com  Hosted on Acast.

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.Topics we discuss are:The health benefits of consuming good quality olive oil - why is olive oil better than a low cal spray?What does extra virgin olive oil mean?When some is looking at buying olive oil in a supermarket what should they be aware of?What is single origin?Cooking with olive oil - should we be aware of the heating temperature - is there a limit You’ve turned an every day commodity into a brand and a delicious and desirable product - how has that journey been?What’s different about Citizens of soil?Working closely with the producers and what that looks like Sponsors:One Zone - The app that will change your London lifestyle, giving you all the recommendations you need for the best food and drink experiences in the cityDownload here 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!For more information and other interesting articles check out our website: www.catchupsinmykitchen.com  Hosted on Acast.

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.Topics covered:Your journey to RoamFrustrations with the snack market Whey ProteinEating too much meatHigh cholesterolAncestral dietThe value of fibre in your dietA wholefood dietDairyInvesting in buying organiconezone - The app that will change your London lifestyle, giving you all the recommendations you need for the best food and drink experiences in the cityDownload here 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!For 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 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?What is peach wellness academy The fundamental problems that girls are experiencing now as a result of lack of education from schools Female Health - we don’t know enough - why?Mental Health and the self-diagnosing crisesModern day health and wellness - what we need to know has changed TikTok being a source of information Vaping - the damage that is having on young children To visit Peach Wellness Academy - click hereThis episode was hosted and produced by Georgia SymondsGeorgia’s Instagram - click here!For more information and other interesting articles check out our website: www.catchupsinmykitchen.com  Hosted on Acast.

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: For those looking to reset and get back into a good routine after summer what are some of the principles you would recommend?Why is resetting your body a good thing to do Which foods help with Liver Detoxification The benefits of having a 4 hour break in between each meal Thoughts on juice cleansesThoughts on fasting?What are some of the health food staples that you think people should have in their cupboard and fridge in order to make healthier choices in their diet Creatine - ARTAH have just brought out their creatine - thoughts?This episode was hosted and produced by Georgia SymondsGeorgia’s Instagram - click here!April's Instagram - click here!For more information and other interesting articles check out our website: www.catchupsinmykitchen.com  Hosted on Acast.

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:Removing the personality from the business Treating your business at the age that it is and not comparing yourself to businesses that have been going a lot longer Setting up your business for the lifestyle that you want to live Setting up your business for success - make sure it is sustainable and scalableNot saying yes to everything Taking the ego out of the business Remember your why as a business and have your goal crystal clear in your head The power of doing one thing really wellThe benefits of mouth tapeWhy Mouth Tape was my first product This episode was hosted and produced by Georgia SymondsGeorgia’s Instagram - click here!Healthy Habits Instagram - click here!Healthy Habits website - click here!For 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 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.Topics we discussed:Why are you vegan?Why is fibre just as important as protein How can people add more fibre into their dietThe ancestral diet is promoting a lack of fibre How much protein should we be having Your favourite plant-based proteinsThe benefits of eating plant proteinsThe plant-based trend and people's perception of plant-based now The gym and strength training Body re-composition and confidenceCreatineCounting calories This episode was hosted and produced by Georgia SymondsCheckout Sophie Waplington - click hereGeorgia’s Instagram - click here!For more information and other interesting articles check out our website: www.catchupsinmykitchen.com  Hosted on Acast.

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 colostrumwhy you started organised Connecting consumers to farmers through the appThe power of connecting with natureWhy does the food system need changingHow your changing people's livesDisconnecting from social media and reducing screen timeThe power of routineRunning the marathon without any synthetic productsSponsors:This episode is sponsored by Healf, the first stockist of our Healthy Habits mouth tape They have given us 10% off your first order with code GEORGIA10If you place an order make sure to add some Healthy Habits into your basket and so you can give it a try This episode was hosted and produced by Georgia SymondsGeorgia’s Instagram - click here!For more information and other interesting articles check out our website: www.catchupsinmykitchen.com  Hosted on Acast.
