What would happen if you pressed pause on everything, food, routines, even the noise of everyday life and gave your body the space to speak?

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Faith Laux, a somatic sex and relationship coach who faced stage 4 colon cancer and turned to a 14-day water fast. What unfolded went far beyond physical detox. Faith describes how stillness opened her to a sense of presence, connection, and clarity she never expected.

Chapters:

00:08:00 – Day six brings clarity and presence
00:21:09 – Childlike wonder in nature returns
00:26:28 – Shifting from busyness to presence
00:35:15 – Heightened senses and new nourishment
00:51:31 – Rituals, reminders, and lasting change

Together they explore what it means to see fasting not just as a physical reset, but as a sacred appointment with the divine. You’ll hear how moments of simplicity, like sitting barefoot in the grass or savoring the smell of her daughter’s breakfast became doorways into profound healing.

If you’ve ever wrestled with fatigue, cravings, or the relentless pace of life, this conversation will invite you to imagine a different way. One that isn’t about restriction, but about discovering what truly nourishes you; body, mind, and spirit.

Listen and learn how slowing down might just be the most powerful step you can take toward healing.

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.
