Myth: It's hard to get enough protein on a vegetarian/vegan diet Totally false! You'd be surprised how easily you can reach your protein goals without animal products!

Here’s a list of nutrient-packed foods that you can enjoy safely on a vegetarian diet. Delicious, wholesome, and good for you in every bite!

Hang in there, friends! Spring is almost here 🌸 It’s been a long and hard winter, and if your mood and mental health have taken a hit - that’s totally normal. Here are some tools to help lift your mood during the last weeks of winter: Vitamin D is called the sunshine vitamin for a reason! It’s involved in the synthesis of serotonin, and low vitamin d levels are associated with a higher risk of depression and anxiety. Nourishing the gut-brain connection with probiotics helps boost your mood! Over 90% of the body’s serotonin is produced and stored in the gut, so feeding your gut with fermented foods and probiotics is essential for mental health. Coffee is packed with antioxidants to reduce inflammation and it helps trigger the release of dopamine which makes you feel good! @becksbroth has the added benefit of bone broth to nourish the gut, and ease anxiety thanks to glycine! Holy Basil is a powerful adaptogenic herb that improves mood by reducing cortisol and easing anxiety. Adaptogens help the body adapt to mental and physical stress to improve sleep, reduce fatigue, and sharpen cognitive function. BioStrath is a a staff favourite for many reasons, including its impact on brain health! BioStrath has been studied for its improvement of concentration, sleep, and anxiety. This herbal tonic made from fermented yeast and over 50 herbs is packed with B vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and enzymes to support your gut and mind! Rhodiola is another adaptogenic herb improves mood, reduces stress, and alleviates mild symptoms of depression by balancing serotonin and dopamine and lowering cortisol! Build your toolkit to help you thrive through these last weeks of Winter. We’re almost there! 💚

This month we’re focusing on heart health, and if you’re looking for ways to show your heart some extra love, here are some great ways ⤵️🫀 When it comes to cardiovascular health, diet, exercise, and lifestyle are extremely important. And there are certain nutrients that can support your heart via diet and supplementation, including: Omega-3s: protect overall cardiovascular health, reduces triglyceride levels, reducing inflammation, lowering blood pressure, and more Magnesium Glycinate: supports cardiovascular function by regulating blood pressure, maintaining steady heart rhythm, reducing inflammation, and managing symptoms of stress CoQ10: a powerful antioxidant that supports vessel health, protects cells from damage, improves cell energy production, and reduces inflammation Fibre: essential for heart health, adequate daily fibre actively lowers the risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. It also helps lower LDL cholesterol! Vitamin D: a deficiency of vitamin D is associated with cardiovascular disease. Vitamin D helps manage blood pressure, regulate vascular function, and reduce inflammation. Antioxidants: antioxidants (like vitamin c, e, beta-carotene, polyphenols) help protect blood vessels, reduce oxidative stress, and reduce plaque buildup on arteries Vitamin K2: can help reduce calcium deposits on artery walls and blood vessels, which maintains good blood flow and reduces the risk of atherosclerosis and heart attacks Berberine: supports blood vessel health, lowers LDL, and regulates blood sugar Questions about how you can support your heart health?

Fibre is ‘hot’ right now, but we know it’s more than just a trend 🌾✨ From digestion and gut health to heart health, blood sugar balance, hormone support, and even weight management, fibre plays a major role in how we feel day to day and in the long run. And yet, most Canadians aren’t getting enough. That’s why we’re all about simple, realistic ways to boost fibre. No extreme changes, no fad diets, just sustainable swaps that actually help you get the daily recommended amount of fibre (about 30g)! Here are 5 easy ways to add more fibre to your day: Swap white bread for sprouted or whole grain bread • White bread: ~1g fibre per slice • Sprouted / whole grain: 3–5g fibre per slice Swap white rice for quinoa • White rice: ~0.6g fibre per ½ cup • Quinoa: 2.5–3g fibre per ½ cup Add chia seeds to yogurt, oatmeal, & smoothies • 1 tbsp chia seeds = 5g fibre (Such an easy way to boost fibre without changing flavour!) Swap regular pasta for chickpea pasta • Regular pasta: ~2g fibre per serving • Chickpea pasta: 7–9g fibre per serving Boost your drinks with fibre supplements • Take advantage of products like Organic Traditions Fibre Flow (the Unflavoured is so handy, you can add it to literally anything!) or @sipology Gut Balance for an easy 6–8g fibre per serving — perfect for smoothies, coffee, tea, or water. Fibre isn’t about following the latest wellness ‘trend’, it’s about supporting digestion, nourishing your gut microbiome, balancing blood sugar, improving cholesterol levels, and helping you feel fuller longer. These small daily choices can lead to big long-term benefits. If you’re looking to increase your fibre intake but don’t know where to start, we’re always happy to help! Pop in-store and we’ll guide you toward the best options for your lifestyle and budget 💚

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 🌱

Jo Anne Fallaise 1935 - 2026 It is with heavy hearts that we let our community know our founder, Jo Anne Fallaise, has passed away.

With the encouragement of her father and the support of her family, she was a pioneer in the natural health industry, opening a health store in her home in 1976. Her mission was to educate others in the importance of wellness; physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness. She created a store for our communities to come together to learn, grow, and celebrate our wellness journey. She created an environment that made you feel like you belong, you are not alone, and you are family. Thank you Jo Anne for your love, inspiration, and passion for a healthy community. We will carry your legacy with honour. Rest in peace and comfort.

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. Join the Wellness on Purpose Program for FREE today and start learning how small, intentional changes can make a meaningful difference in your health. Link in bio or visit joannesplace.ca 🌱

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 🌱
