EDITOR’S * LETTER Spotlight on Supplements * Our Writers Meet the passionate people behind this issue of <strong>Better</strong> <strong>Nutrition</strong>! Jeannette Bessinger, CHHC, is an award-winning educator, author, and a real food chef. She’s helped thousands of people make lasting healthy changes to unhealthy habits. jeannettebessinger.com YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO NATURAL LIVING Editor in Chief Creative Director Executive Editor Associate Editor Digital Editor Copy Editor Beauty Editor Contributing Editors Nicole Brechka Rachel Joyosa Jerry Shaver Elizabeth Fisher Maureen Farrar James Naples Sherrie Strausfogel Vera Tweed, Helen Gray Supplements are increasingly becoming a part of daily life for the average person. Especially with Covid, preventive health has become more relevant than ever. What's more, the choices are endless. Don’t like to swallow pills? There’s a gummy for that. Have trouble absorbing certain nutrients? There are “optimized” or “activated” versions of many nutrients for better utilization and better results. With all those options, it might be hard to decide which supplements to buy. We’ve got you covered with our Best of Supplements Awards on p. 30. We put a lot of time and effort into researching a wide range of formulas from a variety of brands. We test them out ourselves and examine the ingredients: Was a therapeutic dosage used? Is the product third-party tested? Is the herbal blend a good one? So we feel pretty confident in (and excited about) our list of winners—these are standout products that deserve a spot on your supplement shopping list! And speaking of shopping list: Download our free Best of Supplements Shopping List on betternutrition.com. Also on our site: a new (and also free!) eBook: 25 Super Supplement Tips. I hope you enjoy this special issue and find it helpful in your search for high-quality supplements. nbrechka@pocketoutdoormedia.com * * * * * * * * * * Jonny Bowden, PhD, CNS, is a boardcertified nutritionist and the bestselling author of 15 books, including The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth. jonnybowden.com Michele Burklund, ND, is an integrative physician, avid researcher, writer, and the chief science officer of Puriya. medicinewild.com Emily A.
