Do You Have A Hormone Imbalance? Take my FREE Hormone Symptom Profile Assessment: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz

Ever been told, “Your labs are normal,” but you just know something isn’t right? 

🙋🏼‍♀️Yeah, same.:<

Turns out 80% of midlife women experience symptoms like fatigue, hot flashes, and weight gain, yet only 25% of us are ever diagnosed with a hormonal imbalance!

In today’s episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on why your bloodwork may not be telling you the whole story… and the sneaky role inflammation plays in hormone balance.

In this episode, I‘ll address your most commonly asked questions, including:

✅ What happens to my hormones during perimenopause?

✅ How do I know if my hormones are out of balance?

✅ Why do doctors say my labs are normal when I feel awful?

✅ How does inflammation mess with my hormones?

✅ Why am I so tired all the time if my bloodwork is normal?

✅ Why do my symptoms change week to week during perimenopause?

✅ How can I tell if it’s my hormones or something else causing symptoms?

If you’re tired of being dismissed by doctors or struggling with unexplained symptoms, 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.
