Alex Taylor is the co-founder of Perelel, the first and only OB/GYN-founded vitamin company offering clinically-backed nutrition for every stage of a woman’s hormonal life. Under her leadership, Perelel—backed by Unilever Ventures—has rapidly scaled, redefining the women’s health space with its innovative, stage-specific approach. Perelel was named Glossy’s 2024 Wellness Brand of the Year and recognized on Fast Company’s 2024 Brands That Matter list. Today, one Perelel capsule is swallowed every second in America.
A visionary brand builder, Alex previously served as President and Executive Editor-in-Chief at Clique Media Group (Who What Wear, Byrdie, MyDomaine), where she led the company through its strongest period of growth and global expansion. Earlier in her career, she held roles at Vogue, L’Oréal, Google, and Free People, and was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
In this conversation, Alex joins Elizabeth to talk about how a personal health crisis became the spark for creating clinically-backed supplements designed for every hormonal stage. She gets candid about the year-long journey to a diagnosis, why “no job is worth your health,” and the boundaries that keep her balanced as a founder and mom. You’ll also hear about her daily mindfulness practice, the doctor panel shaping Perelel’s formulas, and the Bruce Lee quote that inspires her team to “be like water.”

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.
