March is Liver Health Month in Canada 💚 About 1 in 4 Canadians are affected by liver disease. And only 9% of Canadians prioritize their liver when thinking about their overall health. Yet, our liver is an extremely important organ that performs over 500 functions in our body! It processes nutrients, removes toxins, regulates blood sugar, manages immune responses, and more. So, let’s take care of it! Many forms of liver disease and liver damage are preventable. A healthy, nutritious diet with limited or no alcohol is a major factor for good liver health, as well as regular movement, hydration, and avoiding environmental toxins like chemicals and pesticides. If you’re looking for some extra support, supplementation can help you achieve proper nutrient levels, gently support liver function, and aid in its detoxing functions: - Probiotics support the liver through the gut-liver axis by balancing the gut microbiome, which reduces inflammation and fat accumulation in the liver and promotes liver enzymes. - NAC supports liver health as it is a precursor to glutathione, an antioxidant that protects liver cells from damage and aids in detoxification. - Omega-3s are beneficial for the liver as they also help reduce inflammation and lower fat accumulation in the liver. - A liver tonic like @stfrancisherbfarm HepatoDR utilizes herbs like milk thistle and globe artichoke which are known for their detoxification properties. - In Traditional Chinese Medicine, peppermint is used to move stagnant liver qi and clear heat due to its anti inflammatory and antioxidant qualities. - Beets and beet juice have been studied for their positive impact on liver enzyme levels in people with liver disease. - And if you’re looking for non-alcoholic beer, cider, and mocktails to lower your alcohol consumption - we’ve got you covered! As always, start slow, listen to your body, and we are here to support you! 🌱 (Statistics from Liver Canada, Jan 2025) *If you have a liver condition, consult with your primary practitioner before using new supplements.

In this final part, Rebecca and Jonathan discuss: - Practical ways to increase fibre in your diet - The American Gut Project (eating 30 different plants a week) - it’s easier than you think! - How to add plant foods to your meals and how they benefit your gut microbiome - Examples of basic meals you can upgrade to include a fibre boost - The importance of making small, consistent changes for long-term microbiome heath Watch now on our YouTube channel (link in bio!) and comment what topic you’d like us to cover next ⤵️

Today seemed as good a day as any for us to remind you to eat your GREENS! ☘️🥬 Greens (like kale, spinach, broccoli, sprouts) are an important part of a healthy diet as they are packed with nutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins like A, C, and K. They have fibre, which aids in digestion and heart health, and they also help boost immunity, promote skin health, and many other overall health benefits! Besides simply eating more greens in your meals, here are some ways you can boost your daily greens even more: 🧃 Green juices and smoothies are both super convenient and quick options for eating your greens - whether you make them at home or buy them already made! 🌱 Microgreens and sprouts are a fantastic way to boost your greens intake. They are super easy to sprinkle on top of any meal or add to smoothies, and microgreens actually have significantly HIGHER nutrient levels than their mature counterparts! 🥬 Greens powders are another super easy way to get your daily greens. Add to smoothies, recipes, or mix with water (try coconut water for some added electrolytes) and away you go! ♻️ Try some simple swaps like a lettuce wrap instead of a regular wrap, and snacking on some seaweed or kale chips instead of potato chips! Both kale and seaweed are superfoods full of important vitamins and minerals. 🍵 Another swap you can try is replacing one of your daily coffees with a matcha! Matcha is a nutrient-dense green tea with lots of antioxidants like EGCG and vitamins A, C, and E for an energy boost without the crash thanks to L-theanine. Go green! ☘️

Today is World Kidney Day, a time to build awareness about the importance of understanding and taking care of your kidney health! Did you know Kidney Disease affects 1 in 10 Canadians? Your kidneys an amazing organ system that filter your blood to remove waste, toxins, and excess fluid as well as help regulate blood pressure, produce red blood cells, and balance electrolytes. So, let’s take care of them! Here are some ways you can care for your kidneys: 💧 Drink lots of water, preferably spring! Water helps the kidneys remove that waste from your blood and keep blood vessels open to deliver nutrients to your kidneys. 🥦 Cruciferous and root veggies like broccoli, cabbage, and carrots have high vitamin C, K, and fibre content and antioxidants to reduce inflammation. 💊 Your kidney needs nutrients! Common deficiencies linked to kidney disease include vitamin d, iron, calcium, and B vitamins. A full spectrum multivitamin helps ensure you are getting your daily value of those nutrients! 🫚 Clinical studies have found Astragalus to improve kidney function markers, reduce protein in urine, and help manage chronic kidney disease when combined with conventional treatments. 🫐 Berries are your kidneys best friend! They are packed with antioxidants which neutralize harmful free radicals and reduce oxidative stress and inflammation that lead to chronic kidney disease. 🦠 Are you familiar with the gut-kidney axis? It’s a pathway linking the gut microbiome and kidney function! Probiotics help manage this axis, reduce uremic toxins in the gut, and lower inflammation. 🌊 Natural diuretics like nettle root or combination products like Omega Alpha’s Kidney Flush help flush bacteria and toxins from the kidneys and support their overall function. Give your kidneys some love, and they’ll love you right back 💚 - *Always consult your primary practitioner and/or pharmacist before implementing new herbs or supplements if you take medications or have kidney disease.

Women’s health needs evolve through every stage of life, and the right natural supports can make all the difference 🌿 Here are five options we often recommend and why they work: • Red Raspberry Leaf – Traditionally used to support women during menstruation and pregnancy. It’s rich in vitamins and minerals and contains compounds that may help tone the uterus, support smoother menstrual cycles, and prepare the body for labour. *Always consult your primary practitioner before implementing new herbs or supplements while pregnant • Flaxseeds & Flaxseed Oil – A great support at any life stage. Flax is packed with omega-3s and lignans, which can help balance hormones, support heart health, and reduce inflammation. They’re also excellent for digestive health and overall hormonal wellness. • Fennel Seed – A versatile herb also used across all stages of life. Fennel seeds can help ease menstrual discomfort, support digestion, and provide phytoestrogen activity that can help support hormonal balance. They can also support lactation for breastfeeding! • Calcium & Vitamin D – These are especially important during perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. Together they support bone density, muscle function, and help reduce the risk of bone loss as estrogen levels naturally decline. • Ashwagandha – A powerful adaptogenic root that supports women in every life stage. It helps the body manage stress, supports balanced cortisol levels, and may improve energy, mood, and overall resilience. Every woman is different, and the best support is the one tailored to YOUR needs. If you’re curious about what might work best for you, our team is always here to help 💚

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! 🌱

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. If you’re curious which might be right for you, chat with us in-store 🌱

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!

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.

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 💚

January often comes with big goals, and big pressure. If you’re already feeling like you’re “behind,” this is your reminder to take a breath and give yourself some grace 💚 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. 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or our website

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.

We’ve seen lots of great advice being given with this trend and figured we’d give you our take while showing off our Lindsay store 💚 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! 💪
