Longevity is having a moment, from Bryan Johnson to glossy Netflix docs like Don’t Die, there’s a lot of glitz and glam in and around the longevity space. But that also means there’s a lot of bs and bluster. My guest, Dr. Elizabeth Yurth, brings decades of clinical wisdom and a grounded, science-first approach to living longer.

Dr. Yurth is the Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of the Boulder Longevity Institute, providing “Tomorrow’s Medicine Today” since 2006. She earned her MD from the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine, completed her residency at UC Irvine, and a fellowship in Sports and Spine Medicine at Stanford-affiliated SOAR. With over 30 years as an orthopedist, she’s on a mission to teach how to heal and thrive at the cellular level.

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.
