Are those viral diet plans and at-home skin "hacks" really as effective as they claim? Spoiler alert: most of them aren't just ineffective – they could actually be harmful to your health!

Host Carrie Esposito is joined by Marguerite Weston, MD (a double board-certified functional medicine physician), medical aesthetician Nikki Rucinsky and an extremely busy mother Liz Donaldson to tackle some of the most misleading diet and beauty trends that have hijacked our feeds.

From fad diets that promise quick fixes to skincare gadgets that are more hype than help, this episode uncovers the truth behind the trends. Dr. Weston breaks down why fad diets often fail, the potential risks they pose, and what to focus on instead of feeling your best. While Nikki uses her expertise to weigh in on the skincare trends that flood social media, exposing the gimmicks and offering expert advice on what truly works for aging gracefully.

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.
