Full disclosure, Listener, I am 53 at the time of this interview and am in menopause. My journey to this stage in my life has its twists and turns, beginning in my early 40s when I was put into medical menopause for ovarian cysts. Fast forward to my mid-40s and 2 surgeries later, perimenopause began with not just the hot flashes and weight gain we all know (and at times joke) about, but also with anxiety, heart palpitations, brain fog, hair loss, and maybe the worst…acne!

Let’s talk more about this hormonal shift and learn how we can love and support ourselves and all the women in our lives! If you’re a biological woman, there’s no avoiding this…at some point your hormones will fluctuate and you will feel like your body has betrayed you, and yet…

I suspect that if we can lean into this phase of our lives, we can learn to love ourselves even more!

In this conversation, I sit down with Amita Sharma to explore the complexities of female hormonal cycles, from PMS to menopause, and a holistic lifestyle can ease symptoms throughout our ever-changing hormonal fluctuations.



ABOUT Amita Sharma

Amita is the co-founder of NourishDoc, a global holistic wellness platform for women to manage their hormone transition from PMS to Postmenopause. Inspired by her perimenopausal journey and working in the high-tech world, she felt unsupported. She needed to bring the taboo topic of perimenopause to the workplace for an open discussion.

With her personal experience of going through perimenopause and keeping it a secret, it added more stress to the perimenopause state. She is on a mission to make this taboo topic part of DEI, health equity at work for women in their 40s who feel that they cannot discuss this with HR or their colleagues.


She is on a mission to bring affordable holistic wellness to every woman in the world who is going through a journey of PMS, Peri, and Post menopause.

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.
