A conversation with Michelle Cardel, PhD, MS, RD. Dr. Cardel is an obesity and nutrition scientist and registered dietitian and associate professor in the Department of Health Outcomes & Biomedical Informatics at the University of Florida.

Dr. Cardel has devoted her life to important causes related to nutrition, obesity, weight management, pediatric obesity, psychosocial factors contributing to obesity, and health disparities.

She’s a Latina scientist and a passionate advocate for increasing underrepresented communities, and particularly women and minorities, in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).

We discuss the science of the risk factors born by clinical obesity and how science looks at and understands the mechanism of excess adiposity.

We talk about what we know and what's developing in regard to obesity and risk factors to COVID-19 and is science any closer to understanding the relationship and whether she believes that issues of race plays a factor.

We talk about nutrition and the practices of fitness enthusiasts and the rise of so called "cleanses," "detoxes," and other alternative nutrition concepts and what her thoughts are on them. We also touch on supplements and dieting approaches.

We have a conversation about disparities and the underrepresentation of women in STEM fields and Dr. Cardel’s work to shed light on the issue.

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.
