Gigi Carter’s Journey to Vibrant Health

In this powerful episode, Gigi shares how a high cholesterol diagnosis became the catalyst for shifting from a corporate career in aerospace to becoming a whole food, plant-based advocate and educator. Alongside her partner, Sersie Blue, she now helps others embrace the Daniel Fast—a spiritual and dietary reset through their platform DanielsPlate.com.

We explore how plant-based eating not only improved Gigi’s physical health but also unleashed unexpected energy, mental clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose that led her to thrive in her 40s and 50s—running boot camps, bike racing, and helping others do the same.

From the power of community and faith in sustaining healthy habits to surprising superfoods like natto, Gigi offers wisdom for anyone looking to age vibrantly, live intentionally, and reset their health—without chasing perfection.

In this episode, we cover:

  • How Gigi reversed high cholesterol and gained energy with plants
  • What the Daniel Fast really is—and how it fits into a long-term lifestyle
  • The dangers of perfectionism and how to bounce back after slip-ups
  • The slimy, stringy, surprising superfood you might be missing
  • How food can ignite purpose, clarity, and confidence in midlife
  • Why aging well starts at the end of your fork—and continues with movement

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.
