Welcome – Autumn 2024

If you’re reading a print copy of this magazine, it is very likely you are familiar with health food stores, given this is where this magazine is distributed. And if you are a health store shopper, you are likely to be well aware of just what an important role these shops play in the health of their customers and their local community.

We at Natural Lifestyle know just how important health stores are to their local community, and this was reinforced during our search for the country’s top health store. When we launched this year’s Natural Lifestyle Retailer of the Year Award, we were overwhelmed with the nominations made by you, the health store customer. Many of you told us stories of how the staff working in your local store had made a huge difference to your health and wellbeing. And such comments demonstrate just why we run these awards.

We would like to thank all of you for making the awards such a success, and also a big thank you to our sponsor, Bio-nature, which distributes the Terranova brand and whose whole business is founded on supporting independent health food stores. We would also like to extend our congratulations to our very deserving winner, Natural Health, in Hertford, with the team impressing the judges with their involvement in the local community and the support they give to their customers. We also congratulate our runner-up, Little London Herbal Store, and our shortlisted stores. You can read more on page 16.

And to the rest of this issue and, as we reach October, it’s time for Menopause Awareness Month, when the light shines on this sometimes debilitating time in a woman’s life. To help, we have gathered a panel of experts who are here to support you at this time with advice on everything from nutrition and lifrstyle to supporting your bone health and your gut during the menopause process. Find out more from page 18.
