If you or someone you know has ever experienced an ACL injury, this episode of Finding Fortitude is a must-listen. Today's guest is Dr. Steph Allen, a physical therapist, orthopedic clinical specialist, and founder of ACL Resolve—a virtual coaching platform helping athletes navigate rehabilitation after ACL injury or reconstruction. She’s a leading voice in ACL rehab and return-to-sport, and I’m so grateful she joined me to share her expertise.

- What the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is and why it matters in athletics
- Steph's personal experience with ACL injury and reconstruction
- Common risk factors for ACL injuries (especially in female athletes)
- The evolving conversation around surgery vs. non-surgical rehab

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.
