Do You Know What’s Driving Your Hormone Symptoms? Take the first step to balance your hormones naturally with my FREE Hormone Symptom Profile Assessment: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz

What do you do when the doctor says your labs are “fine”… but you still have no energy, constant brain fog, and weight that just keeps climbing?

That’s exactly where Natalie found herself—tired all the time, battling joint pain, and watching the scale jump 30 pounds in a single year. She followed doctor’s orders, went on HRT (reluctantly), and still ended up with prediabetes, high cholesterol, and medication for high blood pressure.

If you feel like you’re being offered more prescriptions these days than explanations, then today’s power-packed LIVE Coaching Session is for you. In this real-time Hormone Balance Breakthru Call, you’ll meet Natalie, a podcast listener who's at the end of her rope. She’s seen numerous doctors, has been diagnosed with multiple hormone imbalances, and is desperate for someone to explain what’s going on in her body.

Listen in as we connect the dots between her symptoms and her hormones, uncover the underlying root causes sabotaging her metabolism, energy, and weight, and map out the exact hormone-balancing steps she should focus on first.

In this episode, we’ll address your most-Googled questions including:

✅ How does chronic inflammation worsen hormone imbalance in women over 40?

✅ What is insulin resistance and how did I get it?

✅ How does insulin resistance affect weight loss after 40?

✅ Why don’t I feel any better on hormone replacement therapy?

✅ Why can’t I lose weight on HRT?

✅ Can I still have PCOS after menopause?

✅ What are the subtle signs of prediabetes in women over 45?

✅ Can a hormone imbalance cause joint pain in menopause?

If you’ve been told your labs are fine, but you’re racking up symptoms faster than Sephora points, this episode is for you. 🎧

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
