Catch Ups In My Kitchen

In my kitchen this week, I’m joined by Kate Moyle, an accredited psycho-sexual therapist, relationship expert, and author who specialises in helping individuals and couples navigate intimacy, desire, and connection. Kate is also known for her work in breaking down taboos around sex and relationships, making conversations about intimacy more open, informed, and accessible.

In this episode, we explore why sex is such an important part of our overall wellbeing and why, despite this, many of us are having less sex than previous generations.

We dive into some of the key reasons behind this shift, including the impact of modern distractions, the pressure of comparison, and the feeling that we simply don’t have enough time. Together, we unpack how these factors are shaping our relationships and our connection to intimacy.

Kate shares practical, thoughtful advice on how we can begin to change our sex lives, starting with better communication, more honest conversations with our partners, and a deeper understanding of our own needs through education.

This is an open, insightful conversation designed to help you feel more connected, informed, and empowered when it comes to your sexual wellbeing and also a reminder to prioritise your sex lives alongside all the other areas of our wellbeing

Topics we discussed:

We are having less sex now than ever before - why is this?
How is the modern world having an impact on our sex lives

In My Kitchen this week I am joined by Professor Tim Spector.

Finally, we delved into a topic that is incredibly personal to me: the connection between food and cancer, and how the choices we make every day can support longevity and long-term health.

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 Biology
Growing organically in a fast paced indsutry
How to assess the quality of the supplements your taking
The importance of a high quality fish oil
The staple supplements most people should take
Mel's biggest bug bare in the supplement industry
The power of Vitamin D
The power of Creatine
Living with ADHD
Getting your diet right and what that means
