Berberine. Nature's Ozempic? Or just another supplement for the weary?
Berberine has been a staple in Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years—used to support gut health, fight infections, and reduce inflammation.
Today, modern research is spotlighting its potential for blood sugar control, weight management, and cardiovascular health. Is it truly nature’s version of Ozempic, or just another supplement trend? Tune in to explore the science, history, and hype behind berberine.
If this can truly help manage blood sugar control, it may well be a game changer for those who don't want the cost or who can't use Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro. You can order it online or purchase it over the counter, unlike other GLP-1 medications.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
