Welcome – July/August 2026

When considering the positive impact that health food stores have on their local communities, you only need to look at some of the comments we received last year during the search for the Natural Lifestyle Retailer of the Year.

One such comment in the nomination of our winner, Therapy Organics, epitomised their importance: “Every time I walk in, the team greet me with a smile and help me find exactly what I need. Their product knowledge is so impressive, and I always feel safe in their trusted hands.”

In another nomination, one customer said: “Always leave feeling much better and listened too.” And finally, another enthused: “They are most often my first port of call rather than go to the doctor, particularly on women’s issues as their knowledge and holistic approach is so comprehensive. Lovely people who are clearly a passionate and dedicated team.”

And it’s such comments which make the whole team at Natural Lifestyle so passionate about our annual awards, which seek to offer recognition to the UK’s best health store, as well as shine a light on the whole network of health shops. We are delighted to have launched our 2026 search, but we need our dedicated readers to get involved and nominate their favourite store.

All you need to do is head to www.mynaturallifestyle.co.uk/awards, where you can make your nomination, and in doing so, you will be entered into a draw with the chance of winning a hamper of goodies from our sponsor, Bio-nature and the Terranova brand it distributes. You can find out more about the awards on page 15, and we thank you in advance for joining our search.

Also in this issue, we have a collection of fantastic natural health giveaways, as well as some plant-based inspiration for some quick and easy meals.
