In my kitchen this week I am joined by Andy Mant, Co-founder and CEO of Bon Charge – a biohacking and wellness brand dedicated to helping people optimise their health through light, sleep, and modern lifestyle solutions.Andy’s personal health journey began with his own struggles around sleep, metabolic health, and a serious wake-up call that led him to question how modern living impacts the body. 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. Andy explains the science behind blue light, red light therapy, infrared wavelengths, and how these tools can support recovery, skin health, aging, and overall vitality.This episode is a practical, science-led deep dive into sleep, light, and long-term health — with plenty of actionable takeaways you can apply immediately.Topics include:Andy's personal health journey and how that led him to co-founding Bon ChargeHow sleep quality impacts overall healthCircadian rhythm and the role of lightBlue light exposure and screen habitsRed light vs infrared therapySauna blankets and heat therapyEMF exposure and practical reduction tipsBiohacking basics and daily wellness routinesBuilding Bon Charge and future wellness innovationSponsors: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 Our Guest Today:Andy's Instagram - click here!Bon Charge Instagram - click here!Check out Bon Charge - here

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
