January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month 🧠 While there’s no guaranteed way to prevent Alzheimer’s, and some risk factors like genetics are beyond our control, research has shown there are lifestyle choices that can help lower risk and support long-term brain health. 5 ways to support your brain & reduce risk include: - Following a brain and heart-loving diet like the MIND diet, full of whole grains,healthy fats, fruits and veggies - Reducing oxidative stress with antioxidant-rich foods, movement, and supplements like vitamins C & E, CoQ10, and astaxanthin - Managing blood pressure through diet & exercise - Supporting healthy blood sugar levels in similar ways, and supplementing your diet with foods and supplements that support blood glucose metabolism like cinnamon, berberine, and ginseng - Promoting overall brain health with exercise, mental stimulation like puzzles and social interactions, nourishing foods, and supplements like omega-3s, antioxidants, vitamin D, and magnesium Small, consistent choices add up. It’s never too early or too late to care for your brain. Stop by and chat with us about foods and supplements that can support your brain health 🌱

We’ve seen lots of great advice being given with this trend and figured we’d give you our take while showing off our Lindsay store 💚 Our advice? Shop local, of course!

Bone health isn’t a ‘later you’ issue 🦴 Did you know that bone loss can start as early as your 30s? After peak bone mass is reached (usually around mid-twenties), the breakdown of old bone starts to exceed the creation of new bone. This Osteoporosis Month is all about breaking myths, not bones. So let’s break the myth that bone health is something you don’t have to care for until later in life. Here are the top 5 nutrients to keep bones healthy: CALCIUM Bone is a living tissue that renews and repairs itself with wear and tear. Calcium is essential for helping that process stay balanced. As we age, our body absorbs calcium less effectively. So, it’s important to meet your daily calcium intake (1000-1200mg) VITAMIN D Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium to keep our bones strong. It also improves muscle function. VITAMIN K Vitamin K in both of its forms (K1 & K2) activates a protein that helps build bone and bind minerals like calcium and magnesium to the bone structure to keep them strong. MAGNESIUM Did you know that over half of the magnesium in like bodies is found in our bones? You can imagine then why it’s so important to get enough magnesium in your diet! PROTEIN We often think about protein being important for muscles, which is very much is, but it’s also important for bones! Protein forms the structure in our bones that hold calcium, and adequate amounts of protein are associated with greater bone mass and fewer fractures. Future you will thank you for supporting your bones, today! 💪

November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and we’re sharing a clip from our Wellness on Purpose Program all about blood sugar balance 🩸 One of the most important factors in preventing and managing diabetes is understanding how to maintain balanced blood glucose levels. When blood sugar levels fluctuate too much or stay elevated for long periods of time, it can place stress on the body and increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other metabolic challenges. For those already living with diabetes, learning to stabilize glucose levels helps support consistent energy and better overall well-being. In our Wellness on Purpose program, the Nutrition Pillar offers an in-depth look at how the body metabolizes carbohydrates and glucose, how to build a balanced meal, and the many factors that influence blood sugar from stress and sleep to the glycemic response of different foods. This module provides foundational information designed to help you make confident, informed choices that promote balance and long-term wellness 💚 Created by holistic nutritionists and featuring insights from other wellness professionals, our program simplifies complex health concepts into practical, accessible steps you can apply to your daily life. Each pillar (Nutrition, Sleep, and Stress) builds on the others to help you create sustainable habits that support both physical and mental well-being.

Today is World Stroke Day 🫀🧠 About 900,000 Canadian adults have experienced a stroke, and the risk of stroke increases after age 55. We know that diet plays a huge role in stroke prevention and risk reduction. Here are 5 simple ways to help reduce your risk of stroke, starting in your kitchen 🥗 • Choose a Mediterranean-style diet. Studies show that a Mediterranean diet full of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans & legumes, and healthy fats results in a lower risk of stroke. • Cook with herbs and spices like oregano, thyme, cinnamon, and turmeric. These are rich in antioxidants which help lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and inflammation - all of which are importantly for reducing your stroke risk. • Eat plenty of fibre. A 2025 study found that those who eat 18 grams of fibre or more per day had 29% lower odds of a stroke. Good sources of fibre include oatmeal, nuts and seeds, and leafy greens. • Avoid alcohol and try functional mocktails with nutritional ingredients like tart cherry or pomegranate juice instead! • Choose healthy oils like extra virgin olive oil that have omega-3s and 6s, which are beneficial for both cardiovascular and brain health. It’s all about simple swaps that support a healthier you 💚

Did you catch our Small Business Week feature on Oldies 96.7 today? Our General Manager, Sharon, chatted with the Oldies crew about our roots, values, and how we’re carrying out Jo Anne’s vision 50 years later. You can also read the article at PTBOToday.ca. Here’s a snippet: “When you’ve been in business for close to 50 years, you must be doing something right. Well, since 1976 when Jo Anne Fallaise founded the business, Jo Anne’s Place Health Foods has done a lot right, checking some very big boxes in terms of not only product availability, but also customer service and education. When Jo Anne retired, her daughter Margo and husband Paul carried on that tradition. Today, Jo Anne’s Place Health Foods offers a full line of natural foods, supplements and other health-conscious products at two very busy locations in Peterborough and Lindsay. With the business set to mark five decades next year, general manager Sharon Walker says sourcing local and Canadian products first has been, and remains, a deep-rooted practice. Walker says Jo Anne’s searching out for products for her family provided the springboard for what became Jo Anne’s Place Health Foods.” We’re proud to be your local, independent, family-owned health food store. Your health, our ingredients 🌱

Skincare With Standards 🎙️🧴 In this episode of the Wellness On Purpose Podcast, we sit down with the Founder of Koope Skincare to uncover her personal journey that sparked the creation of a purpose-driven skincare brand. From navigating early skin struggles to being inspired by the rigorous standards of European ingredient safety, you’ll hear how these experiences shaped a vision for products that are both effective and clean! We dive into Koope’s unique three rules for formulation, the brand’s commitment to giving back, and what makes their Milky Cleanser, Gel Cleanser, and three specialized moisturizers truly stand out.

Today is World Heart Day — the perfect reminder that small daily choices can create lasting benefits for your cardiovascular health.❤️ Think of it as good health by design: little steps that add up to a stronger, happier heart. Nourish with intention: * Hydrate with 7–10 glasses of clean water daily. * Choose antioxidant-rich foods: colorful fruits, veggies, seeds, legumes & whole grains. * Try fermented foods like sauerkraut or kimchi to support digestion & reduce plaque. * Power up circulation with pomegranate or beet juice, and add garlic, chia, flax, or hemp for extra protection. * Cook gently to preserve nutrients and minimize harmful compounds. Fill in the gaps:
Supplements like Vitamin C, D, magnesium, omega-3s, and probiotics can help offset common deficiencies that affect heart health. Additional care:
*Natural allies such as CoQ10, hawthorn berry, berberine, and ginger have long been used to protect and strengthen the cardiovascular system. Lifestyle matters: * Move daily! Even a quick 4-minute “nitric oxide dump” workout can improve vessel health. * Breathe deeply, practice yoga or meditation, and embrace joy — in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the heart is connected to happiness. * Keep your body’s elimination pathways clear with movement, hydration, and gentle detox habits. Start with a few small changes at a time. Your heart (and whole body!) will thank you. Take these suggestions to heart (pun intended 😉) and discover the ripple effect of caring for your cardiovascular health ❤️ The team at Jo Anne’s Place is always here to help!

Medicinal mushrooms have been used for thousands of years as food and medicine. In more recent years, studies have shown that medicinal mushrooms have incredible immune-supporting strength and powerful cellular health properties 🍄‍🟫 If you’re just diving into the world of mushrooms, you may have a lot of questions: What are the different kinds of medicinal mushrooms? What are the benefits of each kind of mushroom? Which medicinal mushroom is right for me? Reishi is the queen of mushrooms and is commonly known to reduce stress, improve sleep and have antihistaminic properties. It also improves athletic performance by enhancing oxygenation of the blood and reducing altitude sickness. Chaga is known as the king of all mushrooms. It is most beneficial for supporting prevention and treatment for various types of cancer because it contains an incredibly high amount of powerful antioxidants, such as SOD (superoxide dismutase), which protects against DNA damage. Lion’s Mane is a unique mushroom due to its ability to regenerate nerve growth factors to rejuvenate the brain. It is known for supporting the nervous system and conditions like Parkinson’s, MS and nerve damage. Cordyceps mushrooms have been traditionally used as one of the strongest energy boosters, as well as a libido and vitality enhancer. Turkey Tail, known as ‘The Hiker’s Mushroom’, is one of the most commonly found mushrooms on the planet! Turkey Tail contains triterpenes, polyphenols, and polysaccharides - specifically PSK and PSP. PSK and PSP support the immune system by regenerating white blood cells and stimulating the activity of T-cells, and it has anti-viral properties. If you aren’t convinced yet that medicinal mushrooms are beneficial for almost every health concern… they are also suited to every type of diet out there! Yes, even candida diets. They are also paleo, vegan, and autoimmune-friendly. They even contain vitamins and minerals to support and nourish the body naturally. Whether you supplement with capsules or drink mushrooms in your coffee, embrace the shrooms and feel good!

Together, they explore: - How to sync your life with your cycle - The four phases of the menstrual cycle (and what they mean for your body and energy) - Nutrients, food, and drinks (like red raspberry leaf tea) that help support hormonal balance and your overall cycle - Common myths and misconceptions about periods - Practical ways to better understand and support your cycle This conversation is all about empowering you with the knowledge to work with your body, not against it. And is an important listen for EVERYONE, not just women. If you don’t menstruate, guaranteed you know and love someone who does; whether that be a partner, a friend, a child, or a co-worker. Understanding menstrual health is important for all. Thanks so much to @heatherlitster__ for joining us and sharing her wisdom ❤️ 🎧 Tune in to the full episode now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or at the link in bio.
