Are you doing "all the right things" but still not seeing the results you want?
This episode is for you if you've watched the healthy eating videos, you're exercising regularly, you're getting decent sleep, but the scale isn't budging and you're feeling frustrated and stuck.


Dr. Orlena delivers some necessary hard love by revealing there are only two possible reasons you're not getting results - and neither one is what you think. She exposes the hidden hormonal saboteurs like cortisol and insulin that can keep you trapped in a vicious cycle, even when you're doing everything "right."


But here's the game-changer: what if weight loss isn't actually your real goal? Dr. Orlena shares the powerful mindset shift that transforms frustration into freedom, helping you break free from the succeed-fail cycle that's keeping you stuck.


You'll discover why your brain might be misdiagnosing your emotions, how unrealistic expectations are sabotaging your progress, and why focusing on health and wellness instead of the scale means you're always winning.


The three core insights that will transform your approach:

Why consistency might not mean what you think it means
How to shift from weight-focused to wellness-focused thinking
Why your mindset is the hidden factor sabotaging your results

If you're ready to stop the cycle of frustration and start thriving, this episode will give you the clarity and framework you need to move forward with confidence.

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.
