In my kitchen this week, I am joined by Tabitha and Fiona, also known on socials as Almond Mum and Daughter.

We go through Tabitha’s awful experience with cancer at just 18, which ignited their research and love for all things wellness. What began as a journey of healing and learning soon became a passion for living better, feeling stronger, and taking control of their health.

Together, they have turned this passion into creating funny and relatable mother-daughter videos, sharing their love for clean living, an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, and reducing toxins from their everyday life.

This episode highlights not only the importance of your health and doing your own research but also it shares a lot of recommendations that you can take forward and use in your own life

Topics we discussed:

Tabitha's upbringing
Fiona's parenting as someone who wanted their children to be as healthy as possible without restrictive
Tabitha's cancer journey
Tabitha's cancer recovery route
Household recommendations for a clean lifestyle

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
