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 Charge
• How sleep quality impacts overall health
• Circadian rhythm and the role of light
• Blue light exposure and screen habits
• Red light vs infrared therapy
• Sauna blankets and heat therapy
• EMF exposure and practical reduction tips
• Biohacking basics and daily wellness routines
• Building Bon Charge and future wellness innovation

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 from
• How Catherine lives very intentionally
• What an intentional lifestyle looks like
• How the wellness industry has changed in the last 10 years
• The popularity of bone broth and how it has gained traction more recently
• The benefits of bone broth
• Benefits of Colostrum
• Why Catherine launched Fierce Nature
• How can natural skincare work the same way as active more medical grade skincare
• Why non-toxic skincare is important
• How Catherine has brought up her children
• What wellness means to her

I’m joined in my kitchen by Florian de Chezelles and James Dare, the founders of The Salad Project, a fast-casual London-based salad bar redefining healthy eating by making wholefoods delicious, enjoyable and convenient.

The Salad Project opened its first store in Spitalfields in 2021 and has since grown to 11 locations, with rapid expansion underway and exciting plans to open their first European store later this year.

In today’s world, healthy eating and understanding what we consume has never been more relevant. As people move away from ultra-processed foods and towards natural, whole ingredients, The Salad Project is perfectly positioned, built around a fresh build-your-own bowl model that champions quality and flavour.

But it’s not just the food that makes The Salad Project stand out. It’s the brand, the atmosphere, the customer journey and the full 360-degree experience, all of which we dive into in this episode.

Both Florian and James come from strong hospitality backgrounds, and for them, experience is everything. That focus is what truly sets The Salad Project apart in an increasingly competitive market.

If you love The Salad Project, are an entrepreneur, or enjoy hearing the stories behind fast-growing businesses, this episode is for you.

In my kitchen this week, I am joined by Kia Porter, a naturopathic practitioner who supports women with their hormones and fatigue so they can stop feeling burnt out, exhausted, and like enough is never enough. One of Kia's sayings that I absolutely love is "women aren’t little men".

Women are built differently, and therefore, we need to operate differently.

In this conversation, we unpack why so many women are stuck in survival mode, how hormonal health and energy are deeply connected, and what actually needs to change if you want sustainable success — not just pushing harder until you crash.

This episode is not about doing more.

It’s about doing what’s right for your body.

The topics we discuss are:

• The starter kit to reducing burnout
• How diet impacts burnout
• Living an Anti-Inflammatory lifestyle, what that means and how to do it
• How do we stop feeling like we are on a hamster wheel
• Being busy is glamorised - how do we stop this
• The difference between women and men
• Working with our hormones not against them
• Wellness tools, brands and products that can help you this year

For the final episode of the year, I’m joined in my kitchen by your favourite guest of 2025 — the ultimate glow-up queen, Izzy Utterson ✨

This episode is kindly sponsored by HEALF, the go-to destination for all things health and wellness, empowering you to feel and be the best version of yourself.

In this festive catch-up, Izzy and I reflect on the year gone by, diving into the wellness habits we’ve loved adding into our routines, as well as the ones we’ve happily left behind. We chat through our goals for the new year and share our HEALF wish-lists, including some of our favourite products.

While Christmas is often a joyful time spent with friends and family, it can also be incredibly challenging. Izzy opens up honestly about her journey with her mum and how she navigates Christmas as an anxiety-inducing time for her. If you find the festive season tough or feel pressure to feel excited when you’re not, this episode is for you — you’re not alone, and we see you.

So for all the wellness girls looking for a little extra guidance, comfort, and inspiration to round off the year, we hope you enjoy this episode

In my kitchen this week I am joined by Donna Bartoli someone I genuinely consider as one of the healthiest, most glowing people on the internet. Donna has built a loyal community by sharing her honest wellness journey, intentional and health focused lifestyle and supplement tips online. Some may consider Donna's approach as extreme but in a world where ultra-processed foods and refined sugar is everywhere, to live a truly healthy life you need to be extreme.

Today, we go deep into the diet and lifestyle choices that have helped her transform her wellbeing — and how you can apply them in your own life in a sustainable and enjoyable way.

I could have spoken to Donna for hours and hours but in this episode we cut it down to the following:

Topics:

• Donna's Diet
• How and Why Donna re-introduced meat
• Why Donna eats chicken feet
• Creatine
• Colostrum
• Collagen
• Supplements, what Donna takes and why we need them
