🎙 [45 ] | [Devastating Tetracycline Side Effects That Shattered My Gut & Gums Years Later ]
Have you ever looked back at something seemingly small — a prescription, a choice, a doctor’s advice — and realized it changed the entire course of your health? 💭 That’s the story I’m sharing today.
This episode is a raw, honest look at how one antibiotic — Tetracycline — taken as a teen for mild skin breakouts, turned into a decades-long health journey filled with gut battles, bleeding gums, misdiagnoses, and ultimately, a deeper understanding of how connected our bodies really are. 🧠💥
From cracked molars to emergency stomach surgery, I’m laying it all out. We’ll talk about:
🔑 The link between antibiotics like Tetracycline and Crohn’s, Candida, and gum disease
🔑 Why some Crohn’s medications never worked for me — and what finally did
🔑 The connection between oral and gut health that even your dentist may miss
🔑 What I’ve learned as an Integrative Health Practitioner-in-training
🔑 How to protect your kids from the mistakes we didn’t know we were making
This one’s a doozy, friends — but it’s also a hopeful, empowering call to know better, so we can do better. 🙏🏽💖

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.
