This week we have a solo episode where I share my journey behind launching my new brand Healthy Habits and why the brand means so much to me.

I wanted to bring you the tools, techniques, and daily rituals that make feeling good feel easy and that has started with mouth tape.In this episode, I take you back to where it all began — when I was 11 years old, writing a food blog also called Healthy Habits.

My hope is that they help you build your own Healthy Habits, effortlessly.I then discuss the power of mouth tape and how it has completely changed my sleep, as well as answering some common and most frequently asked questions about mouth taping.

In my kitchen this week, I’m joined by the lovely Olivia Breirley to dive deep into the world of cycle syncing and her inspiring journey to pregnancy while managing endometriosis, PCOS, and adenomyosis.In this raw, honest, and empowering chat, Olivia shares how being told she might never have children led her to completely rethink how she approached her body, her health, and her hormones. She opens up about how working with her cycle — instead of against it — became the game-changer in her pregnancy journey.One area that Olivia and I deep dive into is seed cycling and how it's a natural way of regulating your hormones due to the nutrients and lignans in these seeds helping regulate estrogen and progesterone levels. Below we have explained how you can seed cycle:Follicular Phase (Day 1–14)(From the first day of your period to ovulation)Seeds to eat:1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds1 tablespoon of ground pumpkin seeds These seeds are rich in lignans and omega-3s, which can help support estrogen production and metabolism. They also contain zinc, which is great for egg quality and overall reproductive health.Luteal Phase (Day 15–28)(From ovulation to the start of your next period)Seeds to eat:1 tablespoon of ground sunflower seeds1 tablespoon of ground sesame seedsWhy: These seeds help support healthy progesterone levels. Sunflower seeds are high in vitamin E and selenium, which support progesterone production, while sesame seeds contain lignans that can help modulate estrogen levels if they get too high in this phase.The other topics we dive into are: Olivia's journey and experience with endometriosis, PCOS and adenomyosisThe power of cycle syncing and how you used it to change your fertility trajectoryThe effects of hormonal contraception, particularly the pill, on your cycle and fertility — and Olivia’s honest, thoughtful views on it after years of navigating it herselfSocieties impossible expectations of women vs the reality Why understanding and connecting with your cycle is so empowering, whether you’re trying to conceive or simply want to feel better, more balanced, and in tune with your bodyWellness non-negotiable that have helped you deal with endometriosis and PCOSThis episode is a beautiful reminder of how powerful our cycles are, and how making small, intentional shifts to support your hormones can change everything.Whether you're currently dealing with hormonal issues, curious about natural contraception options, or wanting to learn how to better support your body through every phase — this one’s for you.Sponsors:This episode is sponsored by Tea Huggers - you can check out their delicious range of blended tea hereCatchups15 - will give you 15% off all Tea Hugger purchases at check out This 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  Hosted on Acast.

In my kitchen this week I am joined by Georgia Meacham who was born deaf and wears two hearing aids. Ten years ago this wouldn't have been the first sentence used to describe Georgia, instead it would have been the fact that she is also a model and an actor, whilst also advocating for the Vegan diet and lifestyle. However, Georgia used to hide the fact that she was deaf due to the fact that she thought she would fit in, have a better chance of being chosen for modelling and acting jobs and have a better chance in relationships if she hid her hearings aids. This resulted in constant stress and anxiety and put her at a disadvantage where she wasn't getting the help she needed.Everything changed when she decided to embrace her deafness, own her story, and advocate for others in similar situations. In this episode, we dive into the powerful shift from resisting a label to reclaiming it as a strength. Georgia opens up about how, for most of her life, she didn’t want to be defined by her deafness—she just wanted to be “normal.” But now, she sees it as a source of empowerment, shaping her journey in ways she never imagined.This is such an inspiring episode that I think your going to love!The topics we discuss are:You were born deaf - what did that mean for you growing up?Some of the challenges at school and making friends Speech - how has this been affected - what did you do growing up to help this Opening up about your disability - what did that look like before you opened up and what does it look like now?The concept of being defined by a situation and letting a situation define youThe daily struggles of being deaf and what that looks likeSpeaking in parliamentNavigating loud social situations Discrimination - have you ever felt discriminated against?RelationshipsYour vegan - have you always been vegan?What does wellness mean to you?This episode was hosted and produced by Georgia SymondsGeorgia’s Instagram - click here!To follow Georgia Meacham head here For more information and other interesting articles check out our website: www.catchupsinmykitchen.com Hosted on Acast.
