This week in my kitchen, I’m sitting down for a solo episode to share my personal 2025 health and wellness debrief. I’m chatting about everything from reintroducing meat into my diet after a decade, to the supplements I’m currently loving, the wellness practices I rely on, and the areas I’m still working on.Hosting this podcast gives me the privilege of learning from so many incredible experts—but you can’t adopt every piece of advice. Sometimes you need to sift through it all and figure out what genuinely supports you. So in this episode, I’m giving you an honest update on where I’m at in my own wellness journey.Topics discussed:What health and wellness mean for me nowWhat I’ve changed or doubled down on throughout the yearHow my diet has changed Focusing on clean ingredients and overall clean eatingAdded meat back into my dietIncluding bone broth — and the reasons behind itSharing the journey and process around this changeGuilty pleasures - Acknowledging the importance of having enjoyable indulgencesSupplements I've introduced this yearCleaning Materials and Household swapsWellness practices I can't live withoutWhat I want to work on in 2026Sponsors: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

In my kitchen this week, I’m joined by Emily Johnson — best-selling author of two cookbooks focused on living and thriving with arthritis.Emily first experienced arthritis symptoms at just four years old and was officially diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at twenty. Since then, she’s completely transformed her diet and lifestyle to focus on anti-inflammatory living — a change that not only improved her own health but has inspired thousands through her social media and bestselling books.When she was first diagnosed, Emily felt isolated and ashamed, having never heard of anyone her age going through something similar. But through sharing her story, she’s built an incredible community and a safe space for others navigating the same challenges.In this episode, we talk about how diet, lifestyle shifts, and stress management can make a huge difference in how you feel — and how small, mindful changes can have a powerful impact on managing arthritis symptoms.In this episode we discuss:Emily's Arthritis diagnosisWhat triggers her and the lifestyle choices that make a differenceWhat living with Arthritis looks likeTechniques and practices Emily uses to manage her symptomsDietary choicesGiving up alcoholOther wellness practices that make a difference The one thing that made a huge difference Sponsors:CALO - We are sponsored by CALO a food delivery service which provides nutritionist-approved, chef-made meals, delivered fresh, daily.
