Health Tips From Experience
For almost every junk food, there’s usually a healthier alternative. You might have to compromise on taste but its definitely worth it for health in the long run!
From improving your gut microbiome to reducing cholesterol and supporting weight loss, fiber plays a crucial role in your overall health. How Fiber Improves the Gut
When it comes to our health, it’s often the small, consistent habits we practice each day that have the greatest impact on our long-term health. While genetics play a role, lifestyle choices around nutrition, movement, stress management, and supplementation can significantly support cardiovascular wellness. Here are some simple, everyday habits to help keep your heart strong and resilient: *These suggestions are not intended to replace appropriate professional advice.

A beautiful day like today reminds us that nature is coming out of hibernation, and so are we! ☀️
In Spring, our daily lives tend to get a bit busier as the daylight lasts longer and the weather gets warmer. And as we get busier, our energy levels are depleted.
Here are some great tools for shaking off the sleepiness of Winter and keeping your energy levels up for the warmer months ahead:
A whole food full spectrum greens powder like @younitedwellness is packed with fruits, veggies, roots, herbs, and mushrooms. Just one scoop gives you over 50% of your essential vitamin and mineral needs to keep your body nourished and energized!
Cordyceps have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 1,000 years and are known for their energy-improving effects. They do so by boosting ATP production, the primary fuel for cells and muscles.
Similarly, creatine also increases energy by boosting ATP production. Your body stores creatine (phosphocreatine) primarily in your muscles, where it is used for energy! Creatine can be especially helpful for premenopausal women not only to boost energy, but also to balance mood and improve bone density.
CoQ10 is an amazing antioxidant and powerhouse behind energy production on a cellular level. You know the actual powerhouse of the cell, the mitochondria? Well, CoQ10 helps increase energy by fuelling the mitochondria to produce ATP! Your body makes less CoQ10 as you age, so supplementation can help fuel that production.
If stress is draining your mental energy, ginseng can help! Another staple of TCM, ginseng has been used for thousands of years as an energy-boosting tonic. It is an adaptogenic herb, meaning it helps the body resist and adapt to stressors thus reducing fatigue!
Vitamin B12 provides you with energy by helping the body convert food into glucose, and aiding in the production of red blood cells to transport oxygen throughout your body. It is a necessary nutrient that helps prevent you from feeling fatigued.
Not sure which may be right for you? Visit us in store and our Product Educators would be happy to chat with you about your needs and goals to find the best fit for you! 🌱
March is Women’s History Month, and March 8th is International Women’s Day 🤍

TCM is having a moment right now, and we are here for it! So much of what we know about the benefits of herbs and herbal medicine comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine 🌿
In TCM, herbs are chosen not just for symptoms but to nourish the whole body, restore balance, and support long-term wellness. Here are 7 beloved TCM herbs we love for everyday support:
Astragalus (Huang Qi)
Known as a powerful Qi tonic. Traditionally used to strengthen Wei Qi (your body’s protective energy), support immunity, boost energy and stamina, and help the body adapt to stress.
Fennel (Xiao Hui Xiang)
A warming herb often used to aid digestion, ease bloating and cramping, support healthy circulation, and relieve pain in the stomach and kidney areas.
Licorice Root (Gan Cao)
One of the most harmonizing herbs in TCM, it is used to tonify Qi, soothe coughs, and clear heat. As well as gentle support for digestion and adrenal balance.
Goji Berries (Gou Qi Zi)
A nourishing blood and Yin tonic. Traditionally used to support liver and kidney health, lung health, and overall vitality. A nourishing daily longevity food!
Sage (Dan Shen)
Invigorates blood and supports cardiovascular health. In TCM, Dan Shen is used to promote healthy circulation and calm the spirit.
Red Ginseng (Hong Shen)
A deeply warming Yang tonic. Used to restore depleted energy, strengthen Qi, support stamina, and enhance resilience during fatigue or recovery.
Codonopsis (Dang Shen)
Often considered a gentler alternative to ginseng. Tonifies spleen and lung Qi, supports digestion, boosts energy, and helps build overall strength.

We believe in quality, thoughtful sourcing, sustainability, and accessibility. Which is why we offer a variety of products, from entry-level (but still great quality) to professional. So that those just starting out on their wellness journey have somewhere to start, and those well-versed can continue to thrive.

Myth: It's hard to get enough protein on a vegetarian/vegan diet
Totally false! You'd be surprised how easily you can reach your protein goals without animal products!
Foods such as hemp seeds, black beans, and quinoa are not only rich in protein but also provide significant amounts of fiber and magnesium.
Here’s a list of nutrient-packed foods that you can enjoy safely on a vegetarian diet. Delicious, wholesome, and good for you in every bite!
Hang in there, friends! Spring is almost here 🌸
It’s been a long and hard winter, and if your mood and mental health have taken a hit - that’s totally normal. Here are some tools to help lift your mood during the last weeks of winter:
Vitamin D is called the sunshine vitamin for a reason! It’s involved in the synthesis of serotonin, and low vitamin d levels are associated with a higher risk of depression and anxiety.
Nourishing the gut-brain connection with probiotics helps boost your mood! Over 90% of the body’s serotonin is produced and stored in the gut, so feeding your gut with fermented foods and probiotics is essential for mental health.
Coffee is packed with antioxidants to reduce inflammation and it helps trigger the release of dopamine which makes you feel good! @becksbroth has the added benefit of bone broth to nourish the gut, and ease anxiety thanks to glycine!
Holy Basil is a powerful adaptogenic herb that improves mood by reducing cortisol and easing anxiety. Adaptogens help the body adapt to mental and physical stress to improve sleep, reduce fatigue, and sharpen cognitive function.
BioStrath is a a staff favourite for many reasons, including its impact on brain health! BioStrath has been studied for its improvement of concentration, sleep, and anxiety. This herbal tonic made from fermented yeast and over 50 herbs is packed with B vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and enzymes to support your gut and mind!
Rhodiola is another adaptogenic herb improves mood, reduces stress, and alleviates mild symptoms of depression by balancing serotonin and dopamine and lowering cortisol!
Build your toolkit to help you thrive through these last weeks of Winter. We’re almost there! 💚

This month we’re focusing on heart health, and if you’re looking for ways to show your heart some extra love, here are some great ways ⤵️🫀
When it comes to cardiovascular health, diet, exercise, and lifestyle are extremely important. And there are certain nutrients that can support your heart via diet and supplementation, including:
Omega-3s: protect overall cardiovascular health, reduces triglyceride levels, reducing inflammation, lowering blood pressure, and more
Magnesium Glycinate: supports cardiovascular function by regulating blood pressure, maintaining steady heart rhythm, reducing inflammation, and managing symptoms of stress
CoQ10: a powerful antioxidant that supports vessel health, protects cells from damage, improves cell energy production, and reduces inflammation
Fibre: essential for heart health, adequate daily fibre actively lowers the risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. It also helps lower LDL cholesterol!
Vitamin D: a deficiency of vitamin D is associated with cardiovascular disease. Vitamin D helps manage blood pressure, regulate vascular function, and reduce inflammation.
Antioxidants: antioxidants (like vitamin c, e, beta-carotene, polyphenols) help protect blood vessels, reduce oxidative stress, and reduce plaque buildup on arteries
Vitamin K2: can help reduce calcium deposits on artery walls and blood vessels, which maintains good blood flow and reduces the risk of atherosclerosis and heart attacks
Berberine: supports blood vessel health, lowers LDL, and regulates blood sugar
Questions about how you can support your heart health? Visit us in store! Our knowledgable staff are here to support you with product recommendations, heart healthy food suggestions, and lifestyle tips ❤️

Water can be boring sometimes. There's nothing wrong with adding a little flavour to your drink! In this post, we break down all the healthiest types of juices and the wellness benefits that come along with them.

Fibre is ‘hot’ right now, but we know it’s more than just a trend 🌾✨
From digestion and gut health to heart health, blood sugar balance, hormone support, and even weight management, fibre plays a major role in how we feel day to day and in the long run. And yet, most Canadians aren’t getting enough. That’s why we’re all about simple, realistic ways to boost fibre. No extreme changes, no fad diets, just sustainable swaps that actually help you get the daily recommended amount of fibre (about 30g)!
Here are 5 easy ways to add more fibre to your day:
Swap white bread for sprouted or whole grain bread
• White bread: ~1g fibre per slice
• Sprouted / whole grain: 3–5g fibre per slice
Swap white rice for quinoa
• White rice: ~0.6g fibre per ½ cup
• Quinoa: 2.5–3g fibre per ½ cup
Add chia seeds to yogurt, oatmeal, & smoothies
• 1 tbsp chia seeds = 5g fibre
(Such an easy way to boost fibre without changing flavour!)
Swap regular pasta for chickpea pasta
• Regular pasta: ~2g fibre per serving
• Chickpea pasta: 7–9g fibre per serving
Boost your drinks with fibre supplements
• Take advantage of products like Organic Traditions Fibre Flow (the Unflavoured is so handy, you can add it to literally anything!) or @sipology Gut Balance for an easy 6–8g fibre per serving — perfect for smoothies, coffee, tea, or water.
Fibre isn’t about following the latest wellness ‘trend’, it’s about supporting digestion, nourishing your gut microbiome, balancing blood sugar, improving cholesterol levels, and helping you feel fuller longer. These small daily choices can lead to big long-term benefits.
If you’re looking to increase your fibre intake but don’t know where to start, we’re always happy to help! Pop in-store and we’ll guide you toward the best options for your lifestyle and budget 💚

We’re revisiting a Wellness on Purpose episode from March 2025 with Juliana Dalla Costa (@jdallyy), where she and Marissa unpack the ‘all-or-nothing mindset’; how it can lead to burnout, stress, and neglecting our own needs. They dive into self-care, mental health, and what it really means to prioritize your wellness in a sustainable way.
If you’re craving a softer approach to your goals this year, this episode is for you.

January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month 🧠
While there’s no guaranteed way to prevent Alzheimer’s, and some risk factors like genetics are beyond our control, research has shown there are lifestyle choices that can help lower risk and support long-term brain health.
5 ways to support your brain & reduce risk include:
- Following a brain and heart-loving diet like the MIND diet, full of whole grains,healthy fats, fruits and veggies
- Reducing oxidative stress with antioxidant-rich foods, movement, and supplements like vitamins C & E, CoQ10, and astaxanthin
- Managing blood pressure through diet & exercise
- Supporting healthy blood sugar levels in similar ways, and supplementing your diet with foods and supplements that support blood glucose metabolism like cinnamon, berberine, and ginseng
- Promoting overall brain health with exercise, mental stimulation like puzzles and social interactions, nourishing foods, and supplements like omega-3s, antioxidants, vitamin D, and magnesium
Small, consistent choices add up. It’s never too early or too late to care for your brain. Stop by and chat with us about foods and supplements that can support your brain health 🌱
Jo Anne Fallaise
1935 - 2026
It is with heavy hearts that we let our community know our founder, Jo Anne Fallaise, has passed away.
Jo Anne was known as a daughter, sister, wife, teacher, mother, adventurer, grandmother, great grandmother, entrepreneur, friend, and inspiration to many.
Jo Anne lived her life in service to others through her faith in Jesus Christ.
With the encouragement of her father and the support of her family, she was a pioneer in the natural health industry, opening a health store in her home in 1976. Her mission was to educate others in the importance of wellness; physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness.
She created a store for our communities to come together to learn, grow, and celebrate our wellness journey. She created an environment that made you feel like you belong, you are not alone, and you are family.
Thank you Jo Anne for your love, inspiration, and passion for a healthy community. We will carry your legacy with honour.
Rest in peace and comfort.

Cold, dry air, and wind can do a number on your skin. But the right essentials make all the difference! Here’s what’s in our winter skincare routine:
- A gentle milk cleanser like @wearekoope that is pH balanced and cleanses without stripping your skin
- Hyaluronic acid drops like @threeshipsbeauty Jelly Drops that give you dewy, glowing skin

As 2025 comes to a close, our hearts are full 💚
To our incredible customers and community, thank you for another year of unwavering support. Through uncertainties and change, you showed up, you shopped local, and reminded us why we do what we do every day. And we couldn’t be more grateful!
This year, because of you, we were able to give back to local organizations that strengthen our community. You supported a small, family-owned business and therefore the livelihoods of our amazing staff and the many local and Canadian brands we proudly carry.
2025 brought so many meaningful moments:
Customer Appreciation Days, celebrating Paul & Margo’s induction into the Business Hall of Fame, the first year at our new Lindsay location, Julie Daniluk book signing, food drives, trade shows, demo days, new podcasts and YouTube videos, and honouring staff milestones.

Let’s build a winter wellness toolkit ❄️⚒️
During the winter months, especially in Canada where it gets super cold and dark, the needs of our bodies and minds differ from the rest of the year. Less sun means less natural vitamin D production, cold weather can weaken our bodies defences, and we’re more prone to Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Here are some things to keep in your toolbelt that can help ⤵️
Vitamin D - Essential for both a healthy immune system and preventing SAD
Magnesium - Calms nerves and muscles, promotes sleep, eases anxiety, and important for immune cell function
Probiotics - Promotes healthy gut flora which in turn boosts immunity and promotes mental health through the gut-brain connection
Lemon & Ginger Tea - Great in the morning to kickstart metabolism and digestion, also helpful for boosting immunity
Zinc - Important for healthy bones, immunity, and boosting energy
Omega-3s - Needed for brain and mental health, immunity, sleep, fighting inflammation, and keeping skin hydrated
Vitamin C - Sisu Ester-C specifically is boosted with calcium and citrus bioflavonoids for a healthy immune system and strong bones
Bio-Strath - Packed with micronutrients including B vitamins which help ease anxiety, support gut health, and fight stress

Our advice? Shop local, of course!
Bone health isn’t a ‘later you’ issue 🦴
Did you know that bone loss can start as early as your 30s? After peak bone mass is reached (usually around mid-twenties), the breakdown of old bone starts to exceed the creation of new bone.
This Osteoporosis Month is all about breaking myths, not bones. So let’s break the myth that bone health is something you don’t have to care for until later in life. Here are the top 5 nutrients to keep bones healthy:
CALCIUM
Bone is a living tissue that renews and repairs itself with wear and tear. Calcium is essential for helping that process stay balanced. As we age, our body absorbs calcium less effectively. So, it’s important to meet your daily calcium intake (1000-1200mg)
VITAMIN D
Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium to keep our bones strong. It also improves muscle function.
VITAMIN K
Vitamin K in both of its forms (K1 & K2) activates a protein that helps build bone and bind minerals like calcium and magnesium to the bone structure to keep them strong.
MAGNESIUM
Did you know that over half of the magnesium in like bodies is found in our bones? You can imagine then why it’s so important to get enough magnesium in your diet!
PROTEIN
We often think about protein being important for muscles, which is very much is, but it’s also important for bones! Protein forms the structure in our bones that hold calcium, and adequate amounts of protein are associated with greater bone mass and fewer fractures.
Future you will thank you for supporting your bones, today! 💪

November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and we’re sharing a clip from our Wellness on Purpose Program all about blood sugar balance 🩸
One of the most important factors in preventing and managing diabetes is understanding how to maintain balanced blood glucose levels. When blood sugar levels fluctuate too much or stay elevated for long periods of time, it can place stress on the body and increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other metabolic challenges.
For those already living with diabetes, learning to stabilize glucose levels helps support consistent energy and better overall well-being.
In our Wellness on Purpose program, the Nutrition Pillar offers an in-depth look at how the body metabolizes carbohydrates and glucose, how to build a balanced meal, and the many factors that influence blood sugar from stress and sleep to the glycemic response of different foods.
This module provides foundational information designed to help you make confident, informed choices that promote balance and long-term wellness 💚
Created by holistic nutritionists and featuring insights from other wellness professionals, our program simplifies complex health concepts into practical, accessible steps you can apply to your daily life. Each pillar (Nutrition, Sleep, and Stress) builds on the others to help you create sustainable habits that support both physical and mental well-being.

Today is World Stroke Day 🫀🧠
About 900,000 Canadian adults have experienced a stroke, and the risk of stroke increases after age 55. We know that diet plays a huge role in stroke prevention and risk reduction.
Here are 5 simple ways to help reduce your risk of stroke, starting in your kitchen 🥗
• Choose a Mediterranean-style diet. Studies show that a Mediterranean diet full of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans & legumes, and healthy fats results in a lower risk of stroke.
• Cook with herbs and spices like oregano, thyme, cinnamon, and turmeric. These are rich in antioxidants which help lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and inflammation - all of which are importantly for reducing your stroke risk.
• Eat plenty of fibre. A 2025 study found that those who eat 18 grams of fibre or more per day had 29% lower odds of a stroke. Good sources of fibre include oatmeal, nuts and seeds, and leafy greens.
• Avoid alcohol and try functional mocktails with nutritional ingredients like tart cherry or pomegranate juice instead!
• Choose healthy oils like extra virgin olive oil that have omega-3s and 6s, which are beneficial for both cardiovascular and brain health.
It’s all about simple swaps that support a healthier you 💚

Part 4 of our Staff Non-Negotiables Series 🌱
Today we’re hearing from our Senior Product Educator, Ada! Ada has been a Jo Anne’s team member for over 30 years!!
Ada’s non-negotiable? Essential fatty acids. She takes them every day. Her go-tos are fish oil, flax oil, and evening primrose oil, which she often adds to her salad dressings for an extra dose of nourishment 🥗
Essential fatty acids (like omega-3s, 6s, and 9s) play a key role in supporting brain, heart, and skin health, and for women, they’re especially beneficial for hormone balance and reducing inflammation.
A small habit like ensuring you’re getting your daily dose of EFAs can have a major impact. Come on in and chat with our staff about small changes you can make to your routine that have lasting benefits 💚

Did you catch our Small Business Week feature on Oldies 96.7 today?
Our General Manager, Sharon, chatted with the Oldies crew about our roots, values, and how we’re carrying out Jo Anne’s vision 50 years later. You can also read the article at PTBOToday.ca. Here’s a snippet:
“When you’ve been in business for close to 50 years, you must be doing something right. Well, since 1976 when Jo Anne Fallaise founded the business, Jo Anne’s Place Health Foods has done a lot right, checking some very big boxes in terms of not only product availability, but also customer service and education.
When Jo Anne retired, her daughter Margo and husband Paul carried on that tradition. Today, Jo Anne’s Place Health Foods offers a full line of natural foods, supplements and other health-conscious products at two very busy locations in Peterborough and Lindsay.
With the business set to mark five decades next year, general manager Sharon Walker says sourcing local and Canadian products first has been, and remains, a deep-rooted practice. Walker says Jo Anne’s searching out for products for her family provided the springboard for what became Jo Anne’s Place Health Foods.”
We’re proud to be your local, independent, family-owned health food store. Your health, our ingredients 🌱
Part 3 of our Staff Non-Negotiables Series 🌿
We’ve been chatting with the Jo Anne’s Place team about their non-negotiables: those daily wellness habits that help them feel grounded, energized, and well.
Today, we’re hearing from two of our team members:
Rebecca – Manager of our Lindsay store + Certified Holistic Nutritionist
& April – Marketing Manager
Here’s what keeps them feeling their best 👇
Rebecca’s Non-Negotiables:
* Prioritizing sleep + proper sleep hygiene
* Including protein, healthy fats, and fiber in every meal
* Eating the rainbow 🌈
* Daily movement — whether that’s yoga or walks with her dog
* Staying hydrated (water before coffee in the morning!)
April’s Non-Negotiables:
* Taking a daily multivitamin - she loves the @platinum_naturals EasyMulti
* A nightly cup of peppermint or spearmint tea
* A consistent skincare routine - @threeshipsbeauty Skin Hero is a recent fave
* Weekly yoga + Pilates classes 🧘♀️
Wellness looks different for everyone. What matters most is finding what helps you feel balanced, supported, and well every day 💚

As the weather gets colder, your need for Vitamin D increases!
Vitamin D is crucial for immune health, helping our ability to fight off seasonal illnesses like colds and flu.

April’s Pick! (hey, that’s me!) 🧠❤️
Pure Lab Vitamins Magnesium Glycinate is a time-tested formulation that has been a go-to for highly absorbable, bowel-friendly magnesium support since 2002.
It’s great for everything from muscle recovery and stress management to better sleep and pain relief. I have been taking Magnesium Glycinate before bed for about a year and my sleep quality has improved drastically!

Today and every day, we want to remind you that wellness is a journey, not a destination — and it looks different for everyone. There’s no “perfect” picture of mental health or self-care. What matters most is finding what supports you and reaching out when you need some extra help.
Our staff are always here to chat and support you along your wellness journey — whether that’s finding products that nourish your body or simply taking a moment to connect.
If you or someone you know could use extra mental health support, there are many wonderful local resources here in our community:
