Catch Ups In My Kitchen Georgia Symonds

This week in my kitchen, I'm joined by Julius Cowdrey for a conversation on mental health, addressing the growing issue of loneliness, and finding our safe space, whether it's through coaching or community support.
Julius, known for his stint on Made In Chelsea, delves into his personal journey, from his involvement in music and television to his current partnership with his twin brother in creating a platform that aids individuals seeking self-improvement but lacking the means for one-on-one coaching or specialised assistance.
We all encounter moments of self-doubt, insecurity, and adversity, but it's our resilience and strategies for overcoming them that truly shape our character. Julius opens up about his own challenges and the tools he's acquired to navigate through them.
While mental health awareness has gained significant traction, the prevalence of loneliness continues to rise. Despite our interconnectedness through social media, there's a profound sense of disconnection. Julius and I delve into these dynamics and explore various related topics in depth.
Topics discussed:
What mental health meansWhat lead Julius to this spaceA time where Julius was at his lowestThe emotional intelligence of men compared to womenSafe space - what it is and how it worksHow fear can prevent actionRelationships and how to overcome a breakup Hacking into your happy hormones

In my kitchen this week I am joined by Georgia Aldridge the Co-Founder of Sloane House Marketing which is a dynamic social media agency helping you grow your brand. As well as the agency Georgia has now opened up a studio where brands can use Georgia and her team to create their content as well as help with the strategy around sharing it.
In this episode Georgia shares her journey to founding Sloane House from barely making it through school to hopping from job to job with no real direction, to then finding her niche and doubling down on it.
Given the universal goal of online growth, I delve into key marketing enquiries with Georgia that are likely on the minds of many seeking to expand their presence online.
As this podcast primarily focuses on food, health, and wellness, I enquire about Georgia's interpretation of wellness. Her response diverges from the conventional, emphasising the pursuit of activities that bring her a sense of well-being and happiness, such as travel and freedom.
This episode delves into the concept of lifestyle design, highlighting the possibility of achieving one's desired lifestyle but acknowledging that it often entails making sacrifices along the journey.
Considering that we dedicate a significant portion of our lives to work, it begs the question: why invest time in something that doesn't bring happiness?

In my kitchen this week I am joined by the Co-Founders of Hunter and Gather Jeff and Amy. Together, we delve into the fascinating journey behind their rapidly expanding brand and explore the principles of the ancestral lifestyle.
Hunter and Gather is a company dedicated to real foods, initially gaining traction with their avocado oil-based mayonnaise containing only five wholesome ingredients. Since then, they've expanded their offerings to include a range of condiments, dressings, sauces, and supplements. Their core belief is that the key to guiding individuals towards optimal health and well-being lies in providing them with access to quality products.
The inception of Hunter and Gather stemmed from Jeff and Amy's personal food struggles. When seeking clean condiments to enhance their meals, they discovered a gap in the market. This realisation fuelled their mission to create products that align with their ethos of clean, natural ingredients.
At the heart of their brand philosophy lies the concept of the Ancestral Lifestyle—a return to basics, prioritising nature over the industrialised processes prevalent in modern society. In this episode, Jeff and Amy delve deeper into the principles of the ancestral diet, shedding light on how the proliferation of processed foods is contributing to widespread health issues and chronic illnesses.
This episode covers the following topics:

Jeff and Amy's personal food struggles which led them to Hunter and GatherHow their target market has expanded and changed since 2017 Supermarkets and whether they help or hinder consumers into making the right decisionsThe ancestral diet and lifestyle and what that meansSeed OilsWhat oils we should be cooking with at homeAvocado Oil Why Heinz and Hellmans is so badMCT Powder and it's benefits

In my kitchen this week I am joined by the Glow Up Queen Izzy Utterson to talk about going back to the basics and making small changes in order to glow within. Izzy shares her personal transformation journey, transitioning from a period of struggles including binge eating and drinking, to finding happiness and self-improvement. She emphasizes that major transformations don't necessarily require extreme measures like juice cleanses or boot camps, but rather consist of making consistent, manageable changes on a regular basis, gradually leading towards desired goals.
In addition to Izzy's story, we explore the concept of "glowing up," highlighting its deeper significance beyond mere aesthetics. By focusing on personal growth at a fundamental level, one naturally undergoes aesthetic transformations as well.
Interestingly, we all possess knowledge of leading a healthy lifestyle, yet the real challenge lies in putting that knowledge into practice. In this episode, we delve into this struggle and other related topics, including:

This week in the kitchen I am joined by Co-Founder of Bio&Me Jon Walsh.
Bio&Me is dedicated to promoting gut health and believes in the importance of dietary diversity. From granolas to porridge pots, their goal is to incorporate a wide variety of plants into every product. Founded by Jon Walsh and Dr. Megan Rossi, Bio&Me boasts a formidable team. With Jon's extensive experience in the food industry, having worked with renowned brands like Nestle, Procter and Gamble, and John West, coupled with Dr. Megan's background in science and nutrition, they possess the ideal skillset to revolutionize the market and raise awareness about the significance of gut health.
Recently, there has been increasing attention on gut health, which is fantastic considering its crucial role in overall well-being. Some even liken the gut to a "second brain" due to its influence on various aspects of our functioning and emotions. However, Bio&Me has been advocating for this long before it became a trend. Therefore, I wanted to speak with Jon about the journey of Bio&Me, its origins, and whether the heightened awareness of gut health is positively or negatively impacting the industry.

What's particularly refreshing about Jon's perspective is that he doesn't come from a scientific or nutritional background. Instead, he discusses gut health in straightforward terms, avoiding complex health terminology that can often be confusing and overwhelming. This episode is a fantastic way of understanding ways in which you can support your gut health as well as understanding why it is important that we all do so.
The topics we covered were...
Why is Gut Health so important What are the affects of bad Gut Health Why did you start Bio&Me How did you bring Bio&Me to life What is your role in Bio&Me and how does it differ to Dr Megans role?What is added to Bio&Me that makes it so different to other brands on the market What is the difference between Probiotic and PrebioticA lot of brands claim to have gut health benefits when they don't - how can they do this?How can consumers really tell if a product is going to be beneficial to their gut health How has the journey been bringing Bio&Me to lifeDid you have to educate consumers when you startedBiggest challenges you faced as a business What's next for Bio&Me/ any NPD you can talk about
