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! Hosted on Acast.

    E.195 Fish Oils; why you need them and which ones to take with Melanie Lawson Founder of Bare Biology

    In my kitchen this week I am joined by Melanie Lawson, founder of Bare Biology, a British supplement brand known for its high-quality omega-3 fish oils and marine-based supplements. Melanie launched Bare Biology after struggling to find a fish oil she trusted while navigating postnatal depression and OCD. Frustrated by the lack of transparency around sourcing, purity and potency in the supplement industry, she set out to create the kind of product she wished existed, as at that time she was sourcing hers from the states. Melanie wanted one that prioritised sustainably sourced ingredients, high therapeutic levels of omega-3, and rigorous third-party testing. What began as a personal mission has grown into a respected UK wellness brand with a loyal following among nutritional therapists and health practitioners. In this episode, Melanie shares the story behind creating Bare Biology, we focus in particular on fish oils, why omega-3 fatty acids are so important for overall health, and why the quality, purity and source of the fish used can make such a difference when it comes to choosing a supplement. Melanie explains what to look for on labels, why potency matters, and how sustainably sourced oils can provide higher levels of beneficial EPA and DHA. Beyond fish oils, we also discuss the supplements Melanie believes can be most beneficial alongside a healthy diet, including vitamin D and magnesium, and what she considers to be the core foundations when it comes to supporting your body nutritionally. Finally, Melanie speaks openly about her own health journey, from living with OCD for much of her life to her more recent ADHD diagnosis and how she has built and run a successful business while navigating these challenges. It’s an honest and inspiring conversation about resilience, entrepreneurship and the importance of supporting both physical and mental wellbeing. Topics we discuss:  Mel's story to starting Bare BiologyGrowing organically in a fast paced indsutryHow to assess the quality of the supplements your taking The importance of a high quality fish oilThe staple supplements most people should take Mel's biggest bug bare in the supplement industryThe power of Vitamin DThe power of Creatine Living with ADHDGetting your diet right and what that means Sponsors: Healthy Habits - Try mouth tape today and get 20% off your first purchase with code CATCHUPS20 click here This episode was hosted and produced by Georgia Symonds Georgia’s Instagram - click here!
