Nicotine has been painted as harmful and addictive for decades, yet research shows it may be one of the most misunderstood nutrients in modern health. From its anti-inflammatory effects to its ability to resolve long COVID symptoms in days, the real story is not what we've been told.

Today, I sit down with Dr. Bryan Ardis to uncover the science behind nicotine, why it has been vilified by medicine and big pharma, and how it supports brain health, immunity, inflammation, and even chronic conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, arthritis, and digestive disorders. We also explore why future pandemics are being framed the way they are, what nicotine has to do with viral resistance, and how to safely use it through foods or patches.

If you've struggled with long COVID, chronic inflammation, brain fog, or want to understand the lies around nicotine that may be keeping you unwell, this episode is for you.

 

" Nicotine is the antidote to all viruses, and this is why they can't let nicotine be circulated and be allowed to be bought over the counter." ~ Dr. Bryan Ardis

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.
