Endometriosis can be a relentless companion, but finding relief is possible. After years of navigating my own journey with this condition, I've discovered some practical techniques to ease the pain. Discover how breath work, specifically diaphragmatic breathing, can be a powerful tool for you. Gentle stretching exercises and yoga poses like child's pose and cat-cow are not just soothing, but transformative. And let's not forget the comforting warmth of hot compresses, castor oil, or heating pads to tackle inflammation head-on. These are not just theories—these are strategies that have truly made a difference in my life, and they might just do the same for you.
Join me, Damaris Mary Grossman, as I candidly share my personal experiences with endometriosis, including suspicions that it extends its reach to my back, ribs, and legs. This episode is all about empowering you with knowledge and practical tips that can enhance your quality of life. I'm committed to building a supportive community, so I warmly invite you to contribute your own tips and experiences. Together, let's forge a path towards living mindfully and embracing each day with newfound strategies for relief and well-being.

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.
