Today we continue to celebrate #nationamushroommonth and want to mention a few really cool mushroom supps for pets!
BIXBI is a USA made and sourced natural pet company that's dedicated to making sure your pets get the best when it comes to value, quality, and purity in the pet supplement and treat market.
They offer three unique mushroom supplements specifically designed with your pets in mind. Choose from Digestion, Immunity, and Skin & Coat. Each formula has a varied mushroom content, but you'll find familiar and clinically studied varieties in each bottle including lion's mane, cordyceps, king trumpet, maitake, shiitake, and agaricus blazei.
These powders are easy to administer and a single can gives you a two month supply for an average 50 pound dog! Not too shabby.
Check them out in our pet wellness section next time you're in!
It's that time once again!
Mark your calendars for Friday, September 25 for convenient blood testing right here in the store.
Why are we so passionate about blood testing? It provides the most accurate feedback on the essential nutrients our bodies need and informs of lifestyle changes that need happen for us to feel and function our best.
Your primary care physician likely offers blood testing, but a lot of the tests offered in the conventional system are a surface level look at what's going on inside. The tests offered by our partners BWELL4EVER offer a comprehensive list of custom lab tests for hormones, inflammation, vitamins, minerals, and more, to give you the detailed answers you need about your health.

Second of all, have you ever considered CBD for sleep?
We're only starting to scratch the surface of the endocannabinoid system, but promising research is showing it plays an important role in our sleep patterns. The funny thing is that while we know that CBD can help with sleep, researchers are still trying to figure out the mechanism that makes it possible.
But we do know that CBD can definitely help with the common reasons of insomnia like anxiety, stress, depression, pain. If you're considering CBD be sure to take the following factors into account before purchasing a product:
Purity - hemp products run the risk of contamination by solvents, heavy metals, fungus, and pesticides. It’s important to verify by way of 3rd party analysis.
-Identity - not all “hemp extracts” have the same profile. Inquiry about whether or not products have had 3rd analysis verifying that the contain what you want or what the claim in terms of potency and ingredients.
-Cost/strength benefit - Knowing the quantity of active ingredient allow you to get the most for your money. Don’t over pay.
We're careful to vet all of the hemp related products we currently carry. Purity and Identity are our primary concern, so you can trust that you're getting the best regardless of what product you choose. We also carry sleep specific CBD products that are paired with natural sleep aids like melatonin, passionflower, valerian root, l-theanine, and chamomile.
If you're a frequent insomniac, you might want to consider a CBD product if you haven't yet. Remember that caffeine (even in the middle of the day), TV shows late at night (especially tense, dramatic ones), screen time, and even drinking alcohol can all work against restorative sleep. Establishing a nightly routine that works to help you "wind down" an hour or two before sleep, paired with supplements like CBD can help bring back the sleep your body needs!
Did you know that September marks national honey month?
Beekeeping and the resulting honey may not be on your radar very frequently, but they play an integral role in our food supply and our health. Honey bees are largely responsible for many of the foods we love, not to mention crucial to many farmers livelihoods, not to mention the availability of other by products like beeswax used in many products we love.
But we're here to talk about honey. Ohhhhh sweet honey. There's nothing quite like that beautiful sweet nectar. Whether you're incorporating into a recipe, sweetening a nice cup of tea, or drizzling on a piece of cornbread, it's a delicious addition to just about anything you can think of.
But it's far more than just a natural cure for a sweet tooth. Honey has been used as a traditional medicine for thousands of years. It coats the throat, it soothes the skin and can even help with allergies. Manuka honey is even used to treat wounds, clear infections, and aid in digestion.
We've got a great assortment of local, imported, and manuka honey waiting for you on the shelves.
Long story short, bees and honey are vital to our everyday life, so let's do what we can to protect them and make them happy.
What we put on our bodies is just as important as what we put inside. This especially important for the products we use every single day. Most deodorants, along with many other personal care products, are riddled with harmful chemicals and are more akin to commercial detergents than skin care products.
Thankfully there are more natural products popping up all the time, but just because it's natural doesn't always mean you're going to get the results you're looking for. This is especially true for deodorants where you NEED it to work.
Enter HUMBLE deodorant.
4 ingredients gives you the scent and protection your pits will thank you for. Let's say that again. 4 INGREDIENTS: fractionated coconut oil, non-GMO corn starch, beeswax and baking soda. That's it.
Plus you can choose from unscented or a variety of great smelling options all made with pure essential oils.
Natural pit protection that WORKS. Check 'em out.

We had the honor of speaking with the Food Babe herself, Vani Hari!
If you're not familiar with Vani, it's high time you are. She's on a mission to shift the mindset of American eaters, demand transparency and change from major food corporations, and educate as many people as possible the difference a whole food, clean diet can make.
Vani understands and has experienced first hand just how powerful this shift can be. After making the decision to stop eating “dead foods,” she came off nine prescriptions, experienced weight loss, and is now more motivated than ever to help people experience the same change. She’s taken on some of the biggest names in the food industry like Chick-Fil-A, Chipotle, Starbucks, Kraft, and General Mills, to help American’s get the food they deserve.
Vani also has a line of extremely clean products, including some of the finest whole food protein powders we've ever seen. Truvani protein has just 5 simple ingredients, tastes amazing, and we're happy to announce that we are currently the only store in the state that carries these products!
If you're interested in trying one of these fantastic products, you can use the promo code 𝗩𝗔>𝗘𝗨𝗢 for 25% off your protein of choice! Check out the link below to see the full selection of Truvani protein.

When it comes to our kids we all want to give them the best, and this is especially true for our newborns and young kids who are still nursing. While evidence supports that breastfeeding is your best option, sometimes this just isn't a reality for a lot of moms. Stuff happens, everybody's different and we have to adapt quickly when it comes to feeding our babies.
The sad fact is that most store bought formula isn't great. It certainly gets the job done, but it can often result in digestive issues, allergies, and fussy babies. We've got another option for you! Say hello to Mt. Capra Goat's Milk Formula.
Do we have any fellow insomniacs out there?
It can often feel hopeless. You dread going to bed every night and when the anxiety of another sleepless night kicks in, it only further encourages sleeplessness. Yikes.
While there may not be any specific "fix" for this issue, Ed has some great tips and a unique supplement from our friends at Utzy Naturals
that may help restore the sleep you so desperately need.
"Insomnia is the greatest challenge in my pursuit of optimal health. Yawn. Anybody else with me? It is not constant. It does come and go. But far too often for my liking. And that has been my motivation to study insomnia from a holistic standpoint. I want to be able to help those who struggle with insomnia like me." -Ed Jones

Keeping our kids well is an important, but difficult task. We all want them to stay healthy and happy, but it's tough to get them to be interested in their health at an early age. Healthy greens and and lean meats aren't typically high on the list and dietary choices range from the okay to the downright gross. Nordic Naturals has a great variety of low sugar, kid-friendly supplements that will please even the pickiest of kids!
Plus, we're moving into a new studio! It's still very much a work-in-progress, but stick around to the end of the video for a quick tour of what we've got going on.

Do you have a favorite?
Protecting your gut is an important part of maintaining your health. Eating probiotic (fermented) and prebiotic (fiber) rich foods should be the first line of defense, but supplementing is often necessary if our diets aren't always the best. Probiotic and prebiotic supplements are a great way to keep your gut happy.
PRObiotics are beneficial bacteria found in certain foods or supplement.
PREbiotics are typically high fiber substances that are undigestable. The probiotics that live in our gut actually feed on this fiber.
When we have balanced amounts of both of these in our guts, well, everyone is happier.
So why take probiotics? Because MOST of us aren't eating enough jars of sauerkraut, kimchi, or kefir to establish a truly healthy gut. Plus, when we eat the wrong things (read sugar) we actually end up feeding the wrong types of bacteria. If we feed the wrong types it allows them to colonize and thrive more easily. This results in a number of issues, including abnormal bowels, fatigue, cravings, and even bad breath.
A probiotic supplement helps ensure you're getting enough beneficial bacteria to prevent this from happening. But, as with all supplements, it's critical to purchase a quality probiotic. Here are a few of the basics to look for when buying:�
-Number of CFU's: This stands for colony forming units and you'll likely see options in the millions or billions. We suggest somewhere in the 50 billion range for most, but this is subject to specific need.
-Refrigerated vs. Shelf-Stable: Heat and moisture are the enemies of probiotic storage. When they're exposed these types of environments it activates the bacteria and they start looking for food. Well, if there's no food, they'll die before they ever reach your gut. Refrigerating and keeping them cool is a sure-fire way to keep them safe, but we do carry shelf-stable varieties that don't require refrigeration.
-Strain variety: Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, or Saccharomyces boulardii, are some of the most researched types of probiotic bacteria out there. Looking for these as a general rule is a good idea, but strain variety is important. Look for a diverse product.
It may take some effort to find an effective productive for your unique gut. If you begin taking a probiotic and don't see any results within a few weeks, try another product. Introducing an overwhelming amount of new bacteria to your gut can strain it, so start small and work your way up.
Even if you're eating the right foods or taking a quality supplement, those good bacteria need something to eat in your gut. Prebiotics are a great way to keep good bacteria happy and you can find them in powders, capsules, and even chewables.
But coffee... 😁
