Dr. Ellen Langer has spent 45 years proving something most doctors still resist: your thoughts don't just influence your health, they are your health. In her groundbreaking counterclockwise study, elderly men lived as their younger selves for one week with zero medical intervention and emerged with improved vision, hearing, strength, and even looked noticeably younger. She's discovered that chambermaids lost weight simply by viewing their work as exercise, that wounds heal based on perceived time rather than actual time, and that stress is the single greatest source of illness, surpassing even diet and genetics. You'll walk away understanding that chronic disease isn't a life sentence but a signal that medicine hasn't caught up yet, and that your body responds to every thought whether you're aware of it or not.
Dr. Langer’s books:
In this episode you will:
- Discover why stress causes more disease than diet, genetics, or even medical treatment and how mindlessness keeps you trapped in patterns that make you sick
- Transform how you experience pain and illness by asking one simple question twice daily that initiates your body's natural healing response
- Break free from the myth that aging means falling apart by understanding that sickness and aging are completely separate processes
- Uncover why trying to make the right decision destroys your peace and what to do instead that eliminates stress entirely
- Master the power of uncertainty to unlock possibilities that rigid thinking and false certainty have kept hidden from you

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.
