SUMMARY:Featured Speaker: Aiste Magitman
DESCRIPTION:Featured Speaker for March 4th Meeting:Aiste Magitman\nGut & Colon Health\nAiste Magitman is a pharmacist\, health educator\, and the founder of Best Gut Forever. She was born and raised in Lithuania\, where she earned her pharmacy license\, and later moved to the United States. In 2018\, she became a registered pharmacist in the U.S. and also holds a pharmacist consultant license. She has worked in the pharmacy field for over 10 years and truly enjoys helping people better understand their health. \nMoving to the U.S. with limited English was not easy\, but Aiste built her career through hard work\, resilience\, and a strong desire to help others. In Lithuania\, pharmacists are trained to study plants and medications as equals\, so when she came to the U.S.\, she was surprised by how often healthcare focuses on covering symptoms instead of looking for the root cause. That experience shaped her passion for education\, prevention\, and empowering people to take an active role in their health. \nOutside of her work\, Aiste enjoys staying active. She played volleyball at a high level and was part of the Lithuanian national team—an experience that shaped her values of discipline\, teamwork\, and perseverance\, which she carries into her work and community involvement today. \nAs a mother to a young son\, Aiste is deeply motivated to help create a healthier future for the next generation. She greatly admires Rotary’s mission and the impact Rotarians have in helping communities around the world\, and as her business grows\, she would be willing to give a portion of her profits to support Rotary Club initiatives and their work in service and community development. \nWEEKLY SUNRISE MEETING\nJoin us on Wednesday at the DoubleTree by Hilton at Bell Tower Shops\n13051 Bell Tower Drive\, FL\, 33907\nLET US KNOW YOU ARE ATTENDING\nCan’t Make it?\nJoin our Zoom Meeting – 2 Ways to Join\nONEClick on the link to our ZOOM ROOM below.
