We walk you through a proven, race-ready roadmap to reclaim mental clarity with the Five Rs: Reveal, Remove, Replace, Rebalan...
Not long ago, NASCAR rookies were men in their 40s and 50s, battling the Cup schedule with grit and experience. Today? We’re seeing drivers step into the sport before they even graduate high school—while veterans are stepping out earlier and earlier. The question is: why is endurance fading faster now than ever before?

Your nervous system holds the key to championship performance. While most competitors focus on physical training and technical skills, the true differentiator in motorsports is what happens between your ears.

Frustrated by unexplained fatigue, brain fog, or stubborn health issues? The answer might lie in your genes—specifically, your MTHFR gene. Despite its humorous acronym, this crucial enzyme affects how 40% of people process essential nutrients, handle stress, and recover from demanding activities.

Remember that feeling when your morning coffee stops working? When three cups barely get you through lunch, yet you still crash at 2:30 PM? That's not just fatigue—it's central nervous system burnout.

Our bodies possess remarkable healing intelligence that can work faster and more effectively when properly supported through an integrative approach to recovery.

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.
