A family is about TRUST. We trust the people in the community. And they trust these brands. So we recommend them to you.
Nutrilite
Our preferred partner for Nutritional Supplements is this 90 year old brand that has made an extraordinary effort to bring together the Best of Nature and Best of Science. The founder of Nutrilite, Carl Rehnborg, was a pioneer - with the claim to fame of being the first person to understand the power of supplementation. Nutrilite Botanicals, self-owned & operated organic farms, and a research mindset that humbles science in front of the mysteries of nature - makes Nutrilite a preferred partner in our experience. The history of Nutrilite is great, and their passion for becoming better is simply amazing.
Disclaimer: Do not get carried away by their “original fakes” that are cheaper-priced through online e-commerce portals. If you find a deal that sounds too good to be true, look for the hidden fine print. We recommend to ONLY buy directly from original manufacturer when it comes to health purchases.
two brothers organic farms (TBOF)
A brand that impresses us with its “grassroots” consciousness and a desire to not compromise quality for price. Their products might not be cheapest or even “value oriented”, but they are by-far the purest. While the whole world of “organic” raises an eyebrow of suspicion simply because its more opaque than transparent, TBOF has practises that they proudly showcase because they do not bow to the pressure of making food products cheap. Their passion to truly empower farmers to go organic deserves a bow.
Disclaimer - Buy their farm fresh food ingredients that you can “cook” with, instead of buying products that you can eat out of a packet for convenience.
map my genome
The best testing should be able to foretell the possibility of a problem, rather than announcing it. Traditionally DNA testing has been prohibitively expensive. But MapmyGenome has successfully replicated global standards at a local level, bringing benefits of genetic testing to the Indian masses. They are making health not just proactive & preventive, but truly personalized.
Disclaimer - Genes can load the gun, but we pull the trigger. We refrain people from going overboard with a “fatalistic” attitude regarding their genes and DNA. Only test what you can “action” through everyday life choices, rest you can leave for the academic research.
top global healthcare services (TGHS) in association with radcliffe labs
Our research into blood testing protocols and the general practises prevalent in the industry has been shocking. Blood Testing is one endeavor at which you definitely do not want to choose the “cheapest”. The entire process is complicated and opaque to the naked eyes of the common man and “trust” is easily violated in this industry. TGHS has shown the courage to break the mold and bring high quality protocols that most other laboratories do not follow. Whether it’s their decision to NOT use low quality chinese-made test kits OR supplying their own reageants for running tests OR doing every test twice to eliminate errors, TGHS has earned our trust.
Disclaimer - TGHS is neither fancy, nor very good with marketing themselves. Other competitive labs, with more marketing muscle, will try to exploit the “all tests are standard, ours is cheaper” pitch to offer huge discounts, do not fall prey.
coming soon
Functional Medicine is the future of true personalized & preventive medicine. In cases, where a high therapeutic dosage is required by the body’s system to heal itself, food supplements need to go a step further and deliver “optimized” dosage. While functional medicine is well researched, manufacturers who can do a great job at making such “optimized nutrition” are still in infancy. There are only a handful where the marketing promise matches up to the manufacturing reality of a good nutritional supplement. Watch this space for updates.
Disclaimer - Talk to your coach & go by the recommendation they give from experience. We generally skew towards a preference for a “food-derived” and “botanicals-containing” nutrition supplementation in almost all cases…
a note about VALUE
“
valuable (adj) - value + able = capable of high value or importance
value (noun) = price is equal to intrinsic worth of something
”
We hear a lot about the term “value for money”. And it’s very confusing to determine what is really value for money and what is not !
Value = Quality/Price
Now, a value measurement of 1 can come from 0.5 (quality)/0.5 (price). The same value measurement of 1 can come from 2.0 (quality)/2.0 (price). Both are equally “value for money”; but the second choice is 4x more “valuable”
The real question then essentially comes down to - What ABSOLUTE QUALITY do I want for my health? For the long term? We believe all of us deserve to seek a “quality for health” that is AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE. And so instead of assessing things on Value, we might serve ourselves better in the long term by assessing for things that are Valuable.
We are proud to share products and services that we believe are Valuable.
