This week in my kitchen, I’m joined by the incredible Manon Eleri—model, mum of two, and holistic health coach. Together, we dive into the often overwhelming pressure to be perfect and unpack Manon’s inspiring health journey.
Starting her modeling career at a young age, Manon shares how societal pressures led her to strive for an unrealistic body shape, resulting in orthorexia and over-exercising. In this candid conversation, she opens up about her transformation from a place of obsession to finding balance, acceptance, and joy in her relationship with food and exercise.
Manon also introduces the concept of Primary and Secondary Foods, which I absolutely love. She explains how the “primary foods” in life—like your relationships, career, hobbies, and love—are just as essential as the “secondary foods” on your plate. Manon shares her personal journey of nurturing both, highlighting the importance of creating harmony between these pillars of health.
We also discuss motherhood and how to raise children to be their healthiest selves while fostering a positive, freeing relationship with food.
This episode is an inspiring reminder to release the pressure of perfection and embrace holistic health in all areas of life.

This week in my kitchen, I’m joined by Amira, also known as The Communication Expert, for an insightful conversation about mastering the art of communication. We explore how to effectively express yourself and connect with others to achieve your goals—whether in your personal life, professional endeavours, or relationships.
I firmly believe that strong communication skills are the key to success. Without them, it’s difficult to seize opportunities or resolve challenges that may be holding you back. That’s why improving how you communicate can be one of the most valuable steps you take toward personal growth and achieving your ambitions.
In this episode, we delve into different communication styles and why understanding your own style is crucial for navigating various situations. We also discuss how communication extends beyond just the words you use—it includes your tone, body language, appearance, and much more. Additionally, we explore how your communication style shifts depending on the environment you’re in.
Another essential aspect of communication is listening. We examine what it means to truly listen and how to recognise when someone is actively listening to you.
This episode is packed with practical advice and actionable tools to help you elevate your communication skills and accomplish your goals, whatever they may be. It’s a must-listen for anyone looking to enhance how they connect with the world around them!

This week in my kitchen, I'm joined by Simon Lamb, who uses various wellness practices to help people reconnect with nature, because as a society we are becoming increasingly disconnected. In this episode, we discuss his approach through Breath Work, Qigong, and Cold Water Therapy.
Our main focus is on breath work, exploring how intentional breathing can transform our lives. As Simon shares, our breath is our lifeline; when done improperly, it can harm our wellbeing, but when practiced mindfully, it can have a profoundly positive effect.
We dive into different types of breath work, from calming, relaxation-focused techniques that support our nervous system to more intense, transformative practices.
If you're curious about breath work or eager to learn more, this episode is made for you!
As well as focusing on the breath Simon and I explore a range of other topics such as...

In my kitchen this week, I’m joined by Niall Kiddle, the founder of Organised, the world's first 100% natural beef organ protein supplement. Having Niall here was a real treat— as although our diets and lifestyles look completely different on paper, we actually share quite a few commonalities.
Niall’s journey into the Ancestral Lifestyle began around six years ago, inspired by Joe Rogan, Ben Greenfield, and Paul Saladino. Since then, he’s been captivated by how this way of eating has transformed his well-being, from boosting his energy and enhancing his skin to improving his overall vitality. His passion for the benefits of the Ancestral Diet drives his desire to share it with others.
One challenging part of the Ancestral Diet is the inclusion of organ meats like liver and kidneys. Although these are packed with nutrients, they’re not always easy to incorporate. That’s why Niall created Organised, a supplement that combines beef collagen, bovine colostrum, a bovine organ complex (including liver, heart, spleen, and lung), Celtic sea salt, raw honey, maple syrup, and date—all in one convenient serving.
In this episode, Niall and I delve into what the Ancestral lifestyle is all about, the foods he chooses to eat (and avoid), and the reasoning behind his choices.
We also dive into lively discussions on topics like raw milk, alcohol, and morning routines!
This episode is packed with insights you’re going to love. While the Ancestral Diet may not be for everyone, there are definitely some principles that we can all incorporate into our daily lives!

In my kitchen this week I am joined by Ed Foy, co-founder of the health brand PRESS. PRESS began as a cold-pressed juice company and has since grown into a full-fledged health brand with products that cater to every meal of the day, from breakfast to dinner.
10 years ago, Ed and his co-founder Georgie drew inspiration from the vibrant health and wellness culture in LA, aiming to bring that West Coast lifestyle to London. In LA, a focus on health and wellness fuelled demand for juices, wellness shots, leafy green salads, and chia pudding bowls—items that became symbols of a health-conscious lifestyle that people eagerly embraced.
Ed and Georgie started their journey by making juices at night and selling them by day at Old Street Station, where they quickly saw a growing demand. People were enthusiastic about investing in their health, and delicious, nutrient-dense juices were an ideal gateway.
In this episode, Ed and I discuss how to elevate your health through juice cleanses, the difference between cold-pressed and regular juice, and how the health and wellness industry is evolving.

This week in my kitchen, I'm excited to be joined by the co-founders of London Nootropics, Zain and Shez, to chat about all things functional mushrooms and adaptogens. We'll explore why so many people are incorporating them into their daily routines.
Zain and Shez are two friends who began adding functional mushrooms to their morning coffee after experiencing the benefits firsthand. Whether you're interested in supporting brain health, regulating the nervous system, or boosting energy without a cortisol spike, functional mushrooms have something to offer.
Over two years, Zain and Shez perfected their blends, creating Mojo, Flow, and Zen — each designed to target specific needs. They launched the brand in 2020, and by 2022, their appearance on Dragons’ Den, followed by investment and support from Deborah Meaden, rapidly increased their brand visibility, helping them grow into the company they are today.
In this episode, I not only want to explore the co-founders’ journey but also go back to basics to uncover why mushrooms are so beneficial for our health. We'll discuss which mushrooms offer which benefits, since it can be a bit overwhelming.
- Lion's Mane: Known as the brain mushroom, it supports mental clarity and cognitive well-being.
- Rhodiola: A stress-reliever, helping to combat both mental and physical stress.
- Cordyceps: Known for power and endurance, it's perfect for boosting energy, especially for fitness or pre-workout.
- Ashwagandha: The balancing mushroom, it stabilizes physical stress levels, promoting a sense of calm in the body.
In this episode we discuss the following topics:
