In this powerful episode of the H.E.A.L. Her Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Duate Adegbite and Dr. Nena Watson—best friends, family doctors, and co-founders of Imana Health.
Together, we explore their journey as Black women physicians breaking barriers in medicine and wellness to build a brand rooted in faith, science, and sisterhood. We dive deep into why they created Muna, an oral probiotic designed specifically for vaginal health and immune support, and how they’re changing the conversation around what it means to be truly well.
We talk about healing, legacy, recurrent yeast infections, wellness myths, and why every woman deserves access to simple, reliable vaginal care that sees her, honours her, and empowers her.
Because healing doesn’t begin on the outside—it starts within. And these women are leading that movement.

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.
