Are you tired of the never-ending hacks, shortcuts, protocols and gimmicks that some call biohacking?

19-year-olds are juicing up with exogenous hormones and getting implants just to keep up with the Joneses on Instagram.

The materialistic worldview pushed by those with something to sell in the world of health can lead to an unhealthy obsession with appearance and status.

Is this really what health looks like?

How can we transcend the hype, nonsense and noise?

Today, I’m honored to be here with the one and only Paul Chek.

For over 40 years, Paul has been a pioneer in the world of corrective exercise, kinesiology, and holistic health. But his wisdom extends far beyond the physical, as he shares profound insights on the spiritual and existential dimensions of the human experience.

This is no ordinary conversation about health and longevity - it's a masterclass in living an authentic, fulfilling life.

In this episode with Paul Chek, you’ll hear:
  • The dangers of taking shortcuts with your health and joining the biohacking cult
  • How to build the courage to be yourself in a world that conditions you to fit in
  • How our spiritual practice can help optimize our health and longevity
  • Why instead of eating cake on his birthday, Paul stacks enormous rocks to create a monument of stone…
  • And much more…

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.
