The River Foundation is an independent educational and research initiative focused on metabolic health, nutrition, mental wellbeing, and evidence-based healthcare communication.

Our aim is to make complex health topics more accessible through thoughtful, clinically informed, and research-grounded education.

The River Foundation aims to support greater understanding of the complex relationship between metabolism, nutrition, endocrine health, and psychological wellbeing - with a focus on preventative health.

As the foundation continues to grow, our vision is to contribute to a more informed, thoughtful, and evidence-based approach to health education and research.

Founded by Briana Thompson, The River Foundation was created from a growing recognition of the need for accessible, nuanced, and evidence-based discussion surrounding metabolic and mental health.

With a background in research and psychiatric nursing, and a strong interest in endocrinology, nutrition, and mental wellbeing, Briana’s work focuses on translating emerging research into clear and practical educational content.
