As a lifelong learner, I’m constantly seeking to align my practices with the latest research in health and wellness.

Prior to the pandemic, I made it a point to enroll in at least one continuing education class annually. However, like many, my routine was disrupted over the past few years.

Reflecting on how swiftly time has passed—can you believe 2020 feels like just yesterday?—I’ve been inspired to realign my actions with my goals of living intentionally.

This year marks a return to my educational roots. I am committed to taking at least one new course annually to stay abreast of the latest developments in personal well-being. I’m thrilled to announce that I’m taking The Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) Gut Health Course, and I invite you to join me on this educational journey.

Use the code ELIZABETHRIDER when you enroll for the class starting on May 28th (my birthday!). This code is valid for any IIN class through May 28th, 2024.
