In this episode, we sit down with Dr Portia D’Anverrs, a brilliant plant-based Radiology Registrar. Portia is also a qualified fitness instructor and has previously competed in powerlifting, INBA bikini and sports modelling – so it’s safe to say that she walks her talk when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle.
In her work, Portia literally gets to see the results of lifestyle choices from the inside out and we spend some time discussing the untapped potential of medical imaging as a tool for lifestyle intervention. We also delve into Portia’s fascinating backstory and her journey to becoming plant-based. Portia currently serves as the Tasmanian Ambassadoc for Doctors For Nutrition and advocates a healthy lifestyle through her social media.
In this episode we cover:
• Portia’s upbringing and reasoning behind her transition to a plant-based lifestyle
• Her busy schedule as a Radiology Registrar and the potential use of medical imaging as an education tool
• The importance of movement – for physical and mental health
• A plant-based diet for performance and the importance of nutrition education to ensure good health
• Making a plant-based diet work for busy people
• Her top tips for quick and easy meals

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.
