When Derek Warburton invites you to lunch in Beverly Hills, you know it’s never just lunch, it’s going to be a whole moment and vibe — and in recognition of Endometriosis Awareness Month, the Gurus Magazine publisher brought that signature energy to a meaningful cause.

Partnering with Kate Morgan of Morgan Publicity and Iris Wings to host an intimate yet impactful media luncheon at Rodeo Drive hotspot The Hideaway, the luncheon was dedicated to elevating the conversation around women’s health and shining a light on one of the most widely misunderstood conditions affecting millions of women worldwide.

The Hideaway Beverly Hills on Rodeo Drive-held luncheon also served as the backdrop for Gurus Magazine’s special Endometriosis Awareness Month cover campaign, with celebrity covers displayed throughout the venue as editors, advocates, cultural tastemakers (and yes, cover stars) arrived.
At the center of the campaign is renowned endometriosis excision specialist and patient advocate Dr. Iris Kerin Orbuch, whose pioneering work has helped transform how the disease is diagnosed and treated. Through both her medical expertise and personal journey, Dr. Kerin Orbuch has become one of the most important voices in the global movement to bring awareness, research, and empathy to the condition.

The cover series includes actress Janel Parrish, media personality Corinne Foxx, actress Courtney Ford, and filmmaker Shannon Cohn (director of the acclaimed documentary Below the Belt), which was co-produced by Hillary Rodham Clinton, Rosario Dawson, Mae Whitman, and Corinne Foxx.
As guests arrived, the room quickly filled with a cross-section of fashion, wellness, and media personalities. Among those in attendance were model and actress Jessica White, award-winning Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Michael K. Newman — founder of The Forever Breast — along with members of the media and wellness community who gathered to support the campaign and its mission.

During the luncheon, Gurus Media CEO and Founder Derek Warburton addressed the intimate gathering, speaking about the importance of using media platforms to elevate conversations that matter and amplify voices that help drive meaningful change. Dr. Iris Kerin Orbuch also shared remarks about the realities faced by millions of women living with endometriosis and the continued need for awareness, research, and education.
And because every great Beverly Hills conversation deserves an equally great meal, guests enjoyed a delishishly curated menu that included guac, tuna tartare with avocado, a classic Caesar salad, pan-roasted chicken breast or Atlantic salmon with lemongrass sauce, roasted wild mushrooms, brussels sprouts, papas bravas, and sorbet.
The covers were photographed by celebrity photographer Josh Fogel, recipient of the 2024 Gurus Awards Lens of Inclusion Award.
