When Your Doctor Misses the Real Problem: A Pharmacist’s Battle With Thyroid, Weight, and Faith
In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Tabatha sits down with Lisa—a pharmacist and Fast to Faith coach—who spent over two decades battling weight gain, brain fog, and fatigue, only to realize her doctors had been missing the bigger picture all along. Despite years on thyroid medication, no one ever tested her for Hashimoto’s… until she took matters into her own hands.
Lisa shares how functional medicine uncovered the gut issues, food triggers, and hormone imbalances that conventional medicine ignored—and how faith gave her the strength to heal from the inside out. If you've ever felt dismissed or stuck in your health journey, this conversation will empower you to become your own advocate and start thriving again.

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.
