Peeling Back The Curtain (& Bedsheets) To Highlight Misconceptions About Menopause!

We kicked off Asking For A Friend live with cocktails and a candid conversation about a topic that affects every woman eventually: menopause. In this special episode, we’re laying it all out with unfiltered insight and expert perspectives, along with some good laughs about sex, hormones and the real-life experience of aging in a woman’s body.

This episode is for anyone out there who wants honest answers about menopause, hormone health and intimacy — without the awkwardness! 

Everything We're Covering:

  • Why menopause happens 
  • Menopause vs Perimenopause: how to know what you're experiencing 
  • What a DUTCH test is and how it can reveal hormone imbalances
  • Root-cause treatment options that go beyond symptom masking
  • Is "Man O Pause" a real thing for men?
  • The sad realization that alcohol and menopause don’t mix well
  • The truth about declining libido and what to do about it
  • Tips for navigating this new phase with confidence, connection and compassion

Meet Your Experts:

Joining host Carrie Esposito (who’s asking all the questions you’ve been too shy to bring up) are three bold and brilliant guests ready to make menopause make sense:

  • Dr. Marguerite Weston – A double board-certified functional medicine physician helping women understand what’s really happening during menopause and how to get back to feeling like themselves again.
  • Kim Pheiffer – Interior design CEO and empowered woman currently navigating her own menopause journey with honesty, humor and the perfect blend of HRT.

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.
