Wellness Win of the Week! 👏 Meet @drmarkhyman , one of our incredible Nutrition Certification Course teachers! ⁠

Recently, Dr. Hyman had the opportunity to speak with key leaders in Congress about transforming our food and healthcare systems.🏥 ⁠
⁠
He shared:⁠
"During my visit to Congress, I had the privilege of connecting with several key leaders dedicated to reshaping our broken food and healthcare systems. Together, we discussed how we can turn the tide on chronic disease by focusing on prevention and nutrition. It’s inspiring to see the momentum building in Washington around these critical issues. We’re on the verge of something big, and I’m hopeful that with the right policies, we can create a healthier future for all. Let’s keep pushing for change!"⁠

How inspiring is that?! 🙌 Let’s keep pushing for change!
