E.182 Solo Episode: Introducing Red Meat after 10 years and a 2025 Wellness De-Brief

Ep. 182

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 now
  • What I’ve changed or doubled down on throughout the year
  • How my diet has changed
  • Focusing on clean ingredients and overall clean eating
  • Added meat back into my diet
  • Including bone broth — and the reasons behind it
  • Sharing the journey and process around this change
  • Guilty pleasures - Acknowledging the importance of having enjoyable indulgences
  • Supplements I've introduced this year
  • Cleaning Materials and Household swaps
  • Wellness practices I can't live without
  • What I want to work on in 2026

That curiosity eventually turned into Bon Charge, a brand now known globally for its red light therapy, blue light blocking, EMF protection, and recovery tools.In this conversation, we go deep into how sleep quality affects every aspect of health, why light exposure is one of the most overlooked wellness factors, and how modern lighting and screen use disrupt our circadian rhythm, hormones, and energy levels.

  • 187. E.187 How To Live and Feel Your Best with Catherine Farrant

    01:04:36||Ep. 187
    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. OSSA Organic offers a range of gut-friendly pantry staples made from nutrient-dense, animal-based ingredients such as bone broth, collagen, and colostrum. 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
