Are resolutions falling out of fashion? Not if we set ourselves up for success (this includes occasional slip&#x2d;ups) with a few mindset shifts: dream big, but break it up into small steps; be willing to show up and start again; believe in yourself.

Natural is the way. We bring you credible approaches to preventative health, holistic treatments, and supportive supplements.

Health

Do you think of exercise as a chore? What if you knew it’s instrumental in improving your physical and mental health and preventing a myriad of diseases? Show up daily, up to 150 minutes a week, and yes, dancing counts too!

Genetic editing of existing crops can, potentially, help us grow food in an increasingly challenging climate. However, there are risks associated with the process itself and concerns about the impact on the food system, farmers, and consumers.

Protect our planet better. Sustainability is the foundation of natural health. We teach you how to embrace a more sustainable lifestyle, one step at a time, because a healthier planet means a healthier you.

Sustainability

Pain has been called the body’s alert system; it comes to our aid when we hurt ourselves and need to apply care. But in the case of a chronic disease such as osteoarthritis, pain can disrupt sleep, which, in turn, affects mental and physical health. There are ways to manage symptoms to improve quality of life—and sleep.

We have learned many things during the pandemic, collective resilience being one, but above all else, we have acquired a deeper appreciation for nurturing connections. Being socially connected keeps us safer, healthier, and happier.

Life is about balance. We provide you with strategies for a lifelong commitment to strength and well-being in all areas of your life. 

Lifestyle

Guiding children to become the best they can be by supporting their brain development is perhaps one of the most rewarding and, at times, daunting life experiences. Ups and downs notwithstanding, what we know for sure is that being present matters.

Family comes first. We equip you with the tools to create a holistically healthy family now, and for generations to come.

Family

Long considered a taboo, menopause can be a time of many challenging physical and psychological symptoms. The good news is that knowledge is advancing, and many symptoms can be mitigated with healthy eating habits and lifestyle changes.

Pet grooming has come a long way, and improved knowledge of what our furry friends like and dislike can help us transform their experience to make it safe, enjoyable, and less impactful on the environment.

Most parents would agree that parenting seems easy enough before we actually have our own children. Our little ones’ emotional well&#x2d;being and preparedness for life depends a lot on our ability to teach them about emotions, healthy boundaries, and, yes, failure too.

Many of us are afraid to commit to resolutions or find it hard to keep going once we do. Motivation matters, but we need more tools to help us stay the course when we run into challenges.

If you could ask the trillions of bacteria that reside in your gut about one life necessity that ensures their long&#x2d;lasting well&#x2d;being (and implicitly yours), they’d sum it up with two words: quality sleep.
