Welcome – November/December 2025

Here at Natural Lifestyle, we are about giving back to the health stores that give us so much. It is why we publish this magazine, and give it to retailers for free, because we want to support them in their customer education. It is also why we run the Natural Lifestyle Retailer of the Year, to recognise and honour those health stores going the extra mile to support their community.

This year, we were overwhelmed not just with the quantity of nominations made by you, our readers, but also the quality – we read some wonderful stories about the
difference your local health store has made to your health and wellbeing, the support these stores have offered you, and the help and advice you have received. It truly demonstrated just how wonderful the UK’s network of health stores is.

After a lengthy search, we are delighted to announce Therapy Organics, in the Cheshire town of Wilmslow, is our deserving winner. This store is all about education and customer service, with a well-qualified team on the shop floor ready to support and advise customers. Therapy Organics, run by passionate sister duo, Kylie Williams and Jackie Coldwell, epitomises all that is good about a health store and we couldn’t be happier to have them as our 2025 winner. And we also congratulate our deserving runner-up, Food for All, in London’s Stoke Newington, which runs as a not-for-profit business and is all about giving back. You can read more about our awards on page 14.

That’s not all when it comes to praise; also in this issue, we launch our search for the best products in the world of natural health and wellbeing. The Natural Lifestyle Product Awards are designed to shine a light on those wonderful brands making products that do good for you and for the planet. Turn to page 21 to find out what is in the running for an accolade, then it’s over to you to cast your vote for your winners – we thank you in advance for taking part
