Are you tired of starting over every Monday? Do you find yourself saying "I'll be good tomorrow" while beating yourself up for every imperfect choice?

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Orlena reveals the hidden mental patterns that are secretly sabotaging your health goals - and why willpower alone will never be enough.

Drawing from the groundbreaking work on Positive Intelligence, she exposes the nine "saboteurs" living in your head: from the Controller who demands perfection, to the Pleaser who puts everyone else first, to the Victim who blames circumstances for every setback.

Here's what you'll discover:

  • The Judge and Nine Saboteurs Framework - Learn to identify the specific negative thought patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of self-defeat, starting with the inner "judge" that kicks off every bout of self-criticism
  • Why Your Strengths Become Your Weaknesses - Understand how the very traits that make you successful in other areas of life (like being a high achiever or wanting to help others) can actually work against your health goals when they tip into negative brain mode
  • The Reframing Revolution - Master the art of shifting from destructive self-talk to empowering inner dialogue, transforming thoughts like "I'm failing" into "I'm learning and growing"

Through a powerful real-life story about a neighbor trapped in victim mentality, Dr. Orlena shows how these patterns play out in daily life - and more importantly, how awareness and reframing can set you free.

If you're ready to stop fighting your own mind and start working with it, this episode will give you the tools to identify your personal saboteurs and begin the transformation from negative to positive brain.

Your health journey starts in your head - isn't it time you got your mind on your side?

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.
