This episode I’m joined once again by someone I truly admire. Dr. Alexandra Sowa is one of the nation’s first certified obesity medicine physicians, founder of the wellness brand SoWell, and author of "The Ozempic revolution" Together, we dive deep into what it really means to reclaim our health, our stories, and our futures. Dr. Sowa brings honesty, expertise, and compassion as we discuss the truth behind GLP1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, debunk the stigma and misinformation swirling around them, and explore why they’re not a shortcut. They are a legitimate and life-changing tool in fighting chronic disease. We also talk about the risks of compounded drugs, the billion dollar waste in the weight loss industry, and how to protect yourself from shady med spas and TikTok trends. We explore the importance of eating enough even when you’re not hungry, the role of protein and fiber, and how natural supplements like berberine, cinnamon, and chromium can support metabolic health with or without medication. Dr. Sowa opens up about her mission to shift the narrative from shame to science, from quick fixes to sustainable change. We talk about how her SoWell products are designed to help people not just survive but truly thrive, and how healing isn't just physical. It’s emotional, political, and deeply personal. We’re not just rewriting the weight loss narrative. We’re building a future rooted in honesty, prevention, and power. Your health isn’t a trend. It’s your birthright.

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.
