"There is no magic bullet."⁠
~Dr. Andrew Saul, Food Matters Nutrition Program ⁠expert👏 ⁠
⁠
This is a key philosophy here at FM. True wellness is sustainable and lifelong. In a world of quick fixes and wellness trends, it can be easy to get confused about which diet to follow, which supplement to buy, and which fancy gadget to invest in. ⁠
⁠
Although these can all be great tools, true wellness comes in lifestyle changes: ⁠
-eating a balanced variety of real, whole-food⁠
-daily movement⁠
-quality sleep⁠
- a supportive system of friends and family ⁠
-connecting with nature and sunshine ⁠
⁠
Remember, true wellness is a journey, not a destination.

Need a quick, warming meal to soothe the soul? A simple curry is perfect when you’re craving something warm and only have random ingredients on hand. Chickpeas are a great, affordable addition that adds protein and heartiness. Cooking in big batches can also save time and money, giving you delicious leftovers for the week. We challenge you to get creative and whip up a hearty, flavorful meal!⁠
