SUCCESS STORIES
Finally Heard and Helped!
I am happy to share my experience with BeWell. I was having GI problems, insomnia, chronic UTI/ kidney issues along with a full-blown case of Menopause/ hormonal imbalances. Family Doctor and Urologist couldn’t/ didn’t help me. However, with updated labs obtained through BeWell, along with their guidance with supplements and diet, I have been able to share my results with my OBGYN and together they came up with a plan to help me get back to me! If you feel like you’re not being heard or helped, I would highly recommend BeWell and its services.

Significant Improvements
After five months working with the BeWell team, I have experienced significant improvements in my overall well-being. I came to my initial appointment with a variety of ailments including brain fog, anxiety, and fatigue. Laura was able to suggest a few supplements based on my symptoms before diving deeper into the roots of my issues to build a customized plan. I was honestly surprised at how quickly I began to feel better. Every aspect of my plan was thoroughly communicated to me in a way that I could understand and was given constant support and feedback on my progress.
Scheduling, meetings, and checkout procedure are seamless. Team members are at the height of professionalism. I Highly recommend BeWell Associates to anyone looking for a natural approach to their health.

Excellent Customer Service Sets BeWell Apart
I just wanted to let you know that [Office Manager] Lydia provides excellent customer service. She is efficient, pleasant, and helpful. I know this must be a busy time with the supplement sale going on but she was excellent. That’s one of the main things I like about your business – when you call you get to talk to a real person who knows you and cares about you.
Thanks for all you do.

Weight Loss and Great Numbers!
Thank you for helping me get on the right road and getting my body to function properly. As of now, I am down 31 pounds and feel much better. Knowing what to eat and when to eat it has made it much easier, and I am never hungry. Thanks again for helping me not become a statistic as a diabetic. It takes some work, but I think it is better than finger pricks, prescription meds, or insulin shots. I’m happy with my recent numbers and my doctor is also. My A1C is down from 6.6 to 5.7, just .1 away from “normal,” total cholesterol down from 193 to 137, triglycerides down from 123 to 65, LDL down from 124 to 79, and my risk of stroke/heart attack went from 4.39 to 3.04, considered “low.” Thanks, Monica!

From Skeptical To Believer
I was skeptical about calling BeWell because I thought that I would have to make hard changes to my diet and lifestyle. My daughter convinced me to call because she did not want me on a lot of medications. I am so glad I made that call. The changes have been easy. The BeWell Team are so knowledgeable and so helpful. I am feeling better than I have in years. I am off my reflux medicine, I am making better and healthier eating choices, I have the energy to exercise, and I walk every day. I have no inflammation, no bloating, no aches and pains. I have lost ten pounds. I don’t miss bread or dairy at all! I would recommend BeWell to anyone!

Help For Pain And Food Allergies
I have lived for many years with pain and food allergy issues. Recently I was told that I have autoimmune problems, but with no answers to my question – why? Doctors just wanted to give me prescription medicines to deal with the pain. I didn’t want to go down that road of constantly taking prescriptions that only mask the problem. I know that there has to be a reason that my body is being affected the way it is. I am glad that I have found BeWell Associates to try to help me figure out all of my food allergies and health issues. Only one blood test will check for 90 different food allergies – this amazes me! So I went for the blood test, and am now awaiting the results to come back. I’m trying to have patience as I await these results. I have already noticed a difference in my health and pain issues just by cutting out some things that they advised me to stop eating. So I’m grateful for the improvements to date and look forward to knowing more in the future. Thank you BeWell!

🌾 #Gluten is a family of storage proteins found in the following grains:
whole #wheat, wheat bran, #barley, #rye, triticale, spelt, kamut, couscous, farro, semolina, bulgur, farina, einkorn, durum, wheat germ, cracked wheat, matzo, mir (a cross between wheat and rye)
⠀
🚫 Eating #glutenfree means avoiding the entire wheat family. This includes white and whole grain versions of these products! Any version of these grains contain the protein called gluten.
⠀
The hardest part about avoiding gluten is that it is in so many products. Most of our processed, convenience foods contain wheat in some form.
⠀
🍞 This includes favorites like:
crackers, bread, breadcrumbs, pasta, seitan, wheat-containing soba noodles, some veggie burgers and other meat substitutes, cookies, pastries
⠀
Because of its unique physical properties, gluten is also frequently added to processed foods to improve texture and promote moisture retention. So even if the product is not actually made of wheat, gluten or wheat may be used as a filler, thickener, or binder.
⠀
❗️Some of these secondary gluten-containing foods include: malt, soy sauce, certain salad dressings, sauces or gravies thickened with flour, bouillon and some broths, certain spice blends, flavored chips, beer, certain kinds of wine and liquor, some processed meats.
⠀
Most companies have jumped on the gluten-free market shift and offer some type of gluten-free alternatives to many foods that already contain gluten.
⠀
In turn, this has fueled a rapid rise in the mainstream availability of gluten-free food options. By 2019 the gluten-free food industry was valued at $4.3 billion and is projected to grow to nearly $ 7.5 Billion By 2027.
⠀
😋 So, whether you`re diving into the gluten-free lifestyle out of necessity or just giving it a whirl, know that you`re not alone. And with so many delicious options out there, going gluten-free has never been tastier.

🚶♀️We all know we feel better after a brisk walk outdoors - but did you know there’s an actual science to this feeling!?
⠀
📄 A recent paper published in Natural Medicine Journal investigated the mechanics of why natural settings have such a positive impact on cognitive attention and mental restoration.
⠀
🌳 Researchers assigned participants a 40-minute solo walk, covering roughly 2 miles, in either a natural or urban environment. The catch? No distractions - no socializing or electronic gadgets allowed!
⠀
🧐 The findings are pretty intriguing:
Those who strolled through nature, rather than city streets, showed significant improvements in cognitive executive function and attention.
⠀
🧠 This could have big implications for conditions like #ADHD, #depression, #anxiety, and #autismspectrumdisorder. Even #dementia and #behavioraldisorders might see benefits from nature-based interventions.
⠀
This study adds to the understanding of HOW #timeinnature benefits human mental well-being.
⠀
🍃 Consider adding a nature walk to your therapeutic toolkit. Reclaim your health, one step at a time!

📣 Have you heard the term "biological age"? Well, if you haven`t yet, get ready to see it all over health and wellness media!
⠀
🧬 The wellness industry is finally implementing a methodology for measuring health status and lifespan beyond chronological age.
⠀
📆 "Chronological age" is simply the count of years since birth, while "biological age" reflects health, fitness, and function.
⠀
By including these factors in the age "formula," biological age becomes a more accurate indicator of an individual`s health and aging process than chronological age.
⠀
🧓🏼 We all know an 80-year-old with the energy and health status of a 60-year-old, and most of us have met a 30-year-old with the health status of someone twice their chronological age.
⠀
Thus, the number of years lived is not a reliable metric of health status! Genetics, environmental factors, and lifestyle all directly impact lifespan and health status.
⠀
To calculate biological age, researchers include the following factors:
🏃♀️ Fitness level
🫀 Organ function
🧪 Cellular health
⠀
What do you think your biological age is?!
