A letter from

CanPrev founder,

Tanya Salituro

Like so many of

you, my health

journey began

with frustration

and a longing for

affordable natural

solutions that

truly worked.

Dear Reader,

For twenty years, CanPrev has been a living commitment to Canadians – to empower them to

take ownership of their health journey, and to provide them with the tools and support they

need to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.

But as I reflect on this lifelong journey, it’s really because of you that this commitment that is

CanPrev has become a reality. This milestone belongs to all of you – supportive friends, trusted

partners, loyal customers, passionate employees. And my heart overflows with gratitude.

This journey belongs to the kindly ‘Heilpraktiker’ (healing practitioner) I visited as a child with

my family in Germany, who introduced me to the world of natural health.

It belongs to all of the survivors I met through the Canadian Cancer Society. Their stories and

experience helped me get through my initial cancer diagnosis at the age of 21 – as well as the

subsequent surgeries and 25 rounds of radiation.

It belongs to my friends and naturopathic doctors who helped me explore natural approaches

when the familiar twinges of pain of cancer (confirmed by an excruciating needle biopsy) came

back a decade later. And when I realized the natural health products I needed didn’t yet exist,

they helped me bring them to life.

It belongs to my husband, Franco, who understood my heart-led drive to give to other Canadians

what my support circle had given me, and vowed to make it happen. We didn’t know what it

would look like when we made this pact, but when the time came to turn the crazy idea that

was CanPrev into reality, we were in sync 150% of the way. We were committed to giving back

the gift of natural health to Canadians.

It belongs to the scrappy first employees who shared our vision, who in our first tiny rented

space, huddled with us over patio tables and slept under them in sleeping bags. It belongs to

the latest employees who joined, who never let us forget what we stand for, no matter how

big we became.

It belongs to our retailers and practitioners who gave our natural health products a chance

to prove themselves to their customers and patients, from the earliest days with our first 13

products, to now with a growing portfolio of over 200.

And this journey belongs to you, dear reader, who brought CanPrev into your home and made

our health journey a part of yours.

Even as I look to the future, I will always remember that our mission is a shared one – a testament

to the power of community and the impact of taking ownership of our health.

Thank you for being part of this story. We couldn’t have done it without you.

With heartfelt gratitude,

START

HERE

2010

After years of suffering with

horrible cramps which included

stabbing pains in my belly, lower

back, and pain in my legs, I

researched that magnesium was

supposed to help with cramps

and muscular pain. I started

taking 1 capsule of Can Prev’s 200

mg Magnesium Bis-Glycinate

a day and noticed that within a

couple cycles my back and leg

pain were almost non-existent

and the cramping lessened 80%.

I used to suffer greatly with

my periods and now I don’t.

— Christine, Toronto, ON

The climb continues

As we reflect on CanPrev’s magnesium legacy,

one thing is certain– the climb continues. Every

new formula, every milestone reached, pushes

us further towards our goal of empowering you

to feel your best. The summit may be ahead, but

the journey itself is what inspires us every day.

ood night.

Sleep right.

Once upon a time, in a room dim and still,

I slipped beneath blankets, escaping the chill.

Eyes closed, a deep breath, I let out a sigh,

Hoping the weight of the day would pass by.

But just as I began to float away,

my brain decided it’s showtime, much to my dismay!

Thoughts of emails unsent and laundry to do,

and then the “Sunday Scaries” join the queue.

I toss, I turn, I flip the pillow–still awake.

Why can’t I just fall asleep for goodness sake?

I grumble, glaring at the ceiling as if

it holds the secret to my slumber.

Annoyed, impatient, with every ticking number.

We’ve all been there, nights drag on,

frustration mounting as we near the crack of dawn.

Sleep doesn’t always come easy, that’s clear to see,

But there are steps we can take, you and me.

So let’s dim the lights on this sleepless plight,

And embark on a journey to a restful night.

With a healthy routine and supplements that are just right,

We’ll find peace and dreams in the quiet of night.

Why is sleep important?

Sleep affects everything from our cognitive health and

emotional regulation to immune function and healing.

Healthy sleep also helps to stave off conditions like stroke,

heart disease, diabetes and more. Without enough sleep, the

brain has a hard time processing new information, making

memories and regulating our mood. Good sleep habits lay the

foundation for our well-being, no matter our age.

STRESS

THE INSIDE

STORY

Stress is your body's way of helping you face challenges,

be it work deadlines or personal conflict. It activates within

us a "fight, flight, freeze or fawn" response.

Fight and flight responses are triggered by a rush of

adrenaline and cortisol, increasing energy and alertness

by raising blood sugar and suppressing non-essential

functions like the immune system. Freeze and fawn

responses are behaviourally driven. Freeze releases

neurotransmitters and endorphins that numb us in

overwhelming situations. Fawn, influenced by oxytocin,

eases tension by appeasing others.

All very helpful. But if constant stress keeps us locked

into these responses, it can strain the body, disturb sleep,

and disrupt digestion, immunity and more. Managing this

stress not only keeps you more balanced now, but protects

your health long-term.

Stress vs anxiety

Understanding the difference between stress and anxiety

can help you manage emotions better and find the right

solutions for your mental and physical well-being.

Stress is a response to an external challenge, like a

deadline or financial concern, and typically fades once

the issue is resolved. It can be motivating in small doses,

but chronic stress can harm your health over time.

Anxiety tends to linger even without a clear cause. It’s a

persistent feeling of worry or unease that can interfere

with daily life. Unlike stress, anxiety often sticks around

long after the initial trigger is gone.

STRESS

RESPONSE

EXPLAINED

FROM OVERWHELMED TO

EMPOWERED

Breathe

THYROID

VISION

RESPIRATORY

When stress hits—whether from real danger

or daily challenges—your body reacts with

“fight, flight, freeze or fawn,” each impacting the

mind and body in distinct ways. Understanding

these responses can help you manage symptoms

before they become long-term issues.

Fight response: You may feel heightened

irritability or respond with verbal or physical

confrontations, along with symptoms like

increased heart rate, rapid breathing, muscle

tension and elevated blood pressure.

Flight response: This can lead to restlessness

or avoidance, often causing sweating, nausea,

dizziness or dry mouth.

Freeze response: You might feel “stuck” or

disconnected, struggling with tunnel vision,

numbness, shallow breathing and difficulty

communicating.

Fawn response: This response involves peoplepleasing

driven by fear, leading to self-neglect,

lack of boundaries and sometimes even physical

symptoms like gastrointestinal issues.

Take three deep breaths, in through

your nose, out through your mouth.

This calms your autonomic nervous

system, which controls heart rate

and breathing.

Talk yourself down

Put the stressor into perspective. Tell

yourself, "I can handle this." Focus on

what you can control, breathe deep

and tackle it one step at a time.

Morning light

Boost your dopamine levels first thing

in the morning with sunlight or an LED

lightbox. This increases the feel-good

brain chemical that lifts motivation

and energy.

Gratitude

Write down things you're thankful

for. This can boost your well-being

by shifting your focus from fear to

positivity, activating brain circuits for

positive interactions, improved mental

health and overall happiness.

An

ancient

root for

modern

resilience.

Ashwagandha has been a staple of Ayurvedic medicine

for over 3,000 years. Its name comes from the Sanskrit words

"ashva" (horse) and "gandha" (smell), symbolizing its distinct

aroma and the belief that it imparts the strength of a horse.

Historically valued by royalty and warriors for enhancing

stamina, it was also used for fertility and longevity.

Ashwagandha's versatility is truly impressive, supporting

stress management, energy metabolism, immune health

and more. Today, we trust this ancient herb to help us find

balance and vitality in modern life.

Stress: Ashwagandha is renowned for its

ability to help regulate levels of the stress

hormone cortisol. This balance is essential for

supporting neurotransmitter function that

can promote emotional well-being.

Cognitive health: Incorporating ashwagandha

into your routine can have you thinking more

clearly and tackling tasks more effectively. It

offers neuroprotective benefits that enhance

connections between brain cells, helping to

improve memory, focus and mental clarity.

Energy: T3 and T4 are thyroid hormones that

are essential for regulating energy levels and

maintaining mood stability. Ashwagandha

supports healthy thyroid function which can

help you feel more energized.

Inflammation: The withanolides found in

ashwagandha have natural anti-inflammatory

properties, making them effective in reducing

pain and aiding recovery. It can relieve soreness

from physical activity, discomfort from PMS

and more.

Ashwagandha Body & Mind: Formulated with

KSM-66 ® , clinically proven to help increase

energy, improve sleep quality and support

libido. As a powerful adaptogen, it also helps

boost resistance to stress.

Sexual health: By regulating the HPA

(hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis and

reducing cortisol levels, ashwagandha can

enhance sexual desire and arousal while also

supporting increased lubrication, blood flow

and improved sexual satisfaction.

Jill Bunny’s health journey is far from ordinary. As a fractional Chief

Marketing Officer for integrative and functional medicine practices, she’s

built a career that reflects her personal values of healing and holistic

health. But her path to wellness hasn’t been easy. Jill faced life-altering

challenges, including a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and cancer.

Yet, through resilience, self-discovery and a commitment to personal

growth, she’s learned to navigate her health journey on her own terms. In

this candid Q&A, Jill shares her inspiring story of overcoming hardships

and what good health means to her. If you’ve ever felt lost or uncertain

with your own health journey, her story offers valuable insights and

practical advice that can inspire lasting change.

From struggle to strength:

Jill Bunny’s

inspiring journey

I was living the

high life, and it

was amazing–

until it wasn’t.

We know bodybuilding played a big role in

your transformation after some tough times.

Can you share what led to that shift and how

fitness became your focus?

JB:

So my fitness journey in bodybuilding

started with a complete transformation.

So let’s backtrack a bit for some context. When

you’re 25 and you get divorced, it’s brutal. I had

no relationship, no job, no home… thinking, “I’m

having a midlife crisis at 25, and I have to figure out

what I’m going to do.” At that age, I didn’t have the

intellectual abilities to really deal with what I was

going through, so it was easier to avoid it and just

put my love into a sport. I thought, “I’m going to

invest 24 hours a day and be a fitness competitor,”

because that way, I could avoid everything else. So I

did that. And I did very, very well.

How did competing in the fitness world shape

your life?

Looking back, it allowed me to avoid a lot of pain,

and that just became my life. I felt valued. I got

validated. It was a high. I had friends. I was loved.

That’s probably superficial love looking back,

but I was loved and also made a career from it.

I had brand partnerships, I ran my online health

coaching business, and I got to travel the world. So

from the ages of 25 to 30, I was living the high life.

And it was amazing, until it wasn’t.

16 17



And you had your thyroid removed. What was

the hardest part of that?

So when they removed my thyroid, my TSH levels

skyrocketed to 15.6. For perspective, most people

are around 0.4 to 4.0, so at that point, I was in severe

hypothyroidism. I felt like I was losing my mind. I was

depressed, I couldn’t get out of bed, and I gained 50

pounds. For someone who was a fitness competitor,

going up to 165 felt diabolical. I felt crazy.

When you were struggling with depression, what

helped you find the strength to push through

those darkest moments?

The only person that can really fix it is yourself. But

when you’re broken, how do you find the power and

that strength to do something about it? When you’re

depressed, it is so hard to even shower. Those little

things can be the most difficult to do. It’s really hard

to be motivated and find that resiliency, that hope.

How did living with MS shift your approach to

health and fitness, and what made you turn to

naturopathic care?

When it comes to emotional and mental health, you

have to have the skills. I knew that I had to develop those

skills because I couldn’t just mask it with medication.

I don’t look like I’m disabled, so I like to describe MS

like having really crappy Wi-Fi. My body doesn’t do

what I want it to. I had no choice but to respect that,

so I went for walks and let go of pushing myself too

hard. I then had to lose 50 pounds, so that’s when I

started a naturopathic approach. It’s been nine years

and I’ve been able to keep the weight off.

What inspired you to turn to cognitive

behavioural therapy (CBT), and how did it shape

your journey toward mental wellness?

My parents are science teachers, so they’re very

logical, and there’s always a solution. I wanted a logical

answer to what I was going through. When it comes to

autoimmune issues, the body is breaking down, but the

brain can be a big component for healing.

When did you first realize something wasn’t

right with your health, and how did you start

to face it?

I instinctively knew something wasn’t right in my

body. For years I was so exhausted. Looking back,

it was probably 15 years in the making, but I just

told myself, “You’re training so hard, this is normal”.

But no, you shouldn’t feel like it’s painful to get up

or even think. It was like being underwater and you

can’t get out.

I attributed it all to competing, until speaking to

other competitors. I’m so tired, yet they can still go

till 8:00 p.m. and have a social life-why is it so hard

for me? Then, my vision started to decline. So that

was the catalyst. They found degeneration in my

eye, which led to months of testing—MRIs, spinal

taps—you name it.

My grandma has MS, so when I sat down with the

doctors, I had a feeling. And that’s what they told me:

M.S. I remember thinking, Okay, this explains how

I’ve been feeling, but I still didn’t want to accept it.

So I continued to compete for six more months, but

eventually realized that I couldn’t keep doing this.

And then, just a few months later, I went in for a

routine checkup. I had no symptoms of a thyroid

issue, but the tests came back–and it was cancer.

At 30, I had MS and thyroid cancer. That’s not good.

I don’t look like

I’m disabled, so I

like to describe MS

like having really

crappy Wi-Fi. My

body doesn’t do what

I want it to do.

Even though the brain is not a muscle, I decided to

train it like one, and that’s what led me to CBT. I had to

rewire my brain. I had to do the hard work of rewiring

my negative thoughts, correcting the distortions in

my head and finding a way to be motivated. I had

this thought: if my "roommate" in my head was a

real person treating me this badly, I'd kick them out

of my life. So I did something about it. I spent three

years becoming a therapist, just to train my inner

"roommate" to be a better person.

I take myself back

to a moment where

I was happy and know

I will persevere.

Neuroplasticity does work—you can retrain a muscle,

and you can retrain your brain to think better. There’s

nothing sexy about therapy, but it helps, and there

are so many ways to do it. It doesn’t mean you have

to lie on a couch like Freudian theory. You can have a

beautiful body but a terrible brain.

What helped you push through when things felt

completely overwhelming?

One of the key factors that really helped me was

having a support system. We can’t do it alone. But

oftentimes, we try to rely on that one person to

be everything, and they can’t. That was one of the

biggest lessons in my healing journey—my husband

can’t be everything. Same with doctors; they can’t

be everything. I had to build my team and get those

little things from each person that they’re best at to

help me heal. So, get support, get it from multiple

people, and don’t expect anyone to be everything

for you.

Also, when I’m in a good mood, I write a letter to

myself and say, “I know that this is going to be hard...

what you’re going through feels insurmountable, but I

know you can get through it because you’re strong and

you’re beautiful.” So, I take myself back to a moment

where I was happy and know I will persevere.

What message would you share with others who

might be feeling stuck or struggling with their

health?

Whatever you choose to do, whatever decisions

you make, there will be a reason why you did that,

and everything will be okay. So, one message that

I would love to give to all Canadians is this: if you

don’t feel right, you don’t have to live in that body.

You have the ability to go and do something about

it. No matter how hard it is, you don’t have to live a

life that isn’t optimal or isn’t what you want.

Tend to

the garden

inside you.

Tips to help your

gut garden grow.

Your microbiome:

The garden of gut health

Imagine your gut as a vibrant garden, teeming with all kinds of

tiny beings — viruses, fungi, archaea, protozoa, and bacteria.

Your microbiome is home to a bustling community of friendly

bacteria each of them with their own roles and responsibilities.

Within this thriving garden, probiotics stand out as essential

caretakers. These beneficial microbes support digestion and play

a crucial role in maintaining a healthy mood, balanced hormones,

robust immunity, and more.

Planting seeds

Like seeds planted in fertile soil, probiotics take root in your

gut. To reap their benefits, they require nurturing to culture,

grow, and multiply.

Probiotic strains are the specific types of beneficial bacteria

that populate your digestive tract, each with its own unique

characteristics and benefits. Some strains, such as Lactobacillus

and Bifidobacterium, are well-known for their digestion and

immune support. Others, like Saccharomyces boulardii, are

beneficial yeasts that help maintain intestinal balance and

support healthy bowel movements.

Prepare the soil:

The gut environment must be conducive for probiotics

to thrive. Maintaining a balanced diet, managing

stress, and staying active help create a fertile ground

for beneficial bacteria.

Select your seeds:

Depending on your gardening goals, you can sow a

diverse mix of probiotic strains for comprehensive

support or plant a specific strain to address targeted

concerns. When choosing a supplement, always

check the CFU (colony-forming units) count to

ensure you're getting enough beneficial bacteria to

make a difference.

Consider planting techniques:

Just as different plants require different planting

techniques, different probiotic delivery methods suit

different individuals. Capsules, powders, and even

fermented foods all offer unique benefits, so choose

one that aligns with your preferences and lifestyle.

Growing with your microbiome:

As you go through life from birth to adulthood, your

gut microbiome changes with you. The changes

in your body impact, and are impacted by your gut

bacteria. Alongside these natural changes, lifestyle

factors such as diet, stress levels and exercise also

shape your gut health. Tune into your body’s changing

needs to help cultivate a healthy microbiome through

each phase of life.

Your gut is as unique as you are, which

is why our probiotics line features a

carefully selected variety of strains, each

chosen for their ability to support different

aspects of your health. Some strains help

break down food for better digestion, others

strengthen your immune defences, and many

work behind the scenes to maintain balance and

keep unwanted bacteria in check. Certain strains

even work synergistically, teaming up to amplify

each other’s benefits for more effective, targeted

support. With this tailored approach, our probiotics

give your gut the personalized care it deserves—so

you can feel your best, inside and out.

The

FASCINATING

nature of

FUNGI

For centuries, mushrooms have been cherished

for their amazing health benefits. From boosting

the immune system to supporting heart health

and fighting inflammation, fabulous fungi have

been our natural health allies for thousands of

years. In fact, evidence of medicinal mushroom

use dates back to ancient China, Egypt and even

Ötzi the Iceman—a 5000 year-old mummy

found with medicinal mushrooms in his travel

kit! And today, modern science is backing it up.

So, what's their secret?

Lion's mane

Cordyceps

Reishi

Shiitake

The science behind the spores

Mycology is the study of fungi, which includes

yeast, mold and mushrooms. One fascinating

area of mycology is myotherapy, which

explores how the natural power of mushrooms

can support health and vitality. With their

rich blend of bioactive compounds like betaglucans,

antioxidants and polysaccharides,

incorporating mushrooms into your daily

routine can strengthen the immune system,

boost energy and restore balance in the body.

Immunity

It turns out many mushrooms are packed with

something called fungal beta-glucans. When

you munch on mushrooms, the beta‐glucans

send signals to your macrophages, a type of

white blood cell that play a key role in immune

health. They detect and destroy harmful

microbes, clear out dead cells and activate

other immune defenders.

Stress

Some mushrooms are classified as adaptogens,

meaning they help the body adapt to stress.

Active compounds such as beta-glucans and

triterpenes interact with the nervous system

and adrenal glands to regulate cortisol, the

primary stress hormone. This helps keep levels

from spiking under stress, promoting a calmer,

more stable mood.

Sleep

Chaga

FUN GI FACT

The largest living organism

on Earth is an 8600-yearold

honey mushroom in

Oregon. It spans 2300

acres and weighs up to

35 000 tonnes!

Since the compounds in mushrooms have

stress-relieving properties, this also means

that they help regulate sleep. For example,

Reishi is renowned for reducing anxiety and

promoting relaxation, making it easier to fall

asleep faster. Medicinal mushrooms also

help support circadian rhythms by promoting

balanced melatonin production, making it

easier to maintain a regular sleep schedule.

This can lead to more restful nights and better

overall sleep quality.

Collagen that

fits just right.

When it comes to collagen, precision

matters. That’s why not just any key

will do. CanPrev’s collagen peptides

are precisely sized and sequenced to

target and enhance collagen production

where our body needs it the most.

Collagen Beauty Featuring bioactive

collagen peptides sized at 2kDa which

stimulate collagen synthesis directly

at the skin. Clinically proven to reduce

wrinkles in 28 days.

with

collagen.

Just as the right key fits into a specific lock, collagen peptides of

a certain size and sequence act as the perfect match to activate

collagen receptors in targeted areas of our body.

But what are peptides anyway? Amino acids are the building

blocks of protein and peptides are strands of these amino acids.

Peptides play a crucial role in facilitating collagen production

in specific tissues. They do this by binding to receptors on

fibroblast cells, signaling them to produce more collagen.

Collagen Joint & Cartilage

Reduces joint pain and

repairs and regenerates joint

and cartilage tissue. With

bioactive collagen peptides

sized at 3kDa.

Collagen Tendo Recover Helps

build connective tissue strength

and improve joint movement

after injury. With bioactive

collagen peptides sized at 2kDa.

Collagen Tone

Targets muscle cells and

supports lean body mass.

Featuring bioactive collagen

peptides sized at 3.5kDa,

clinically studied to achieve

optimal muscle strength

and tone.

Think of peptide size as the key to unlocking collagen's potential.

For instance, while 2.5 grams of 2kDa hydrolyzed peptides is most

effective at targeting collagen production in the skin, 5 grams

of 5kDa bioactive peptides is most effective at targeting bone

formation. By controlling the size and sequence of peptides,

that is, which amino acids are included, we’re able to effectively

address a range of health concerns.

As we age, our body's natural collagen production begins to

decline, which can lead to wrinkles, brittle hair and nails, muscle

atrophy and joint stiffness. That’s where our collagen formulas

come in. With peptides in various sizes, they’re designed to

support collagen production exactly where you need it most,

so you can feel supported through every stage of life.

Collagen Bone

and enhances collagen

building in bones. Features

bioactive collagen peptides

The dynamic journey

of our bones

Our bones are living tissue, constantly breaking down

and rebuilding. They actively dissolve and then replace

minerals to keep our skeleton strong and stable. Bones

adapt and change in response to the body's needs and

activities, sculpting themselves into structures capable

of bearing weight and facilitating movement.

Building a strong foundation

Joint and cartilage health are key to bone development

during our youth. Cartilage cushions joints, allowing

bones to grow and move without friction. Healthy

joints also help align and stabilize bones, ensuring

proper growth. By our 20s, we reach peak bone mass—

the strongest our bones will be. To support this, calcium

and vitamin D are crucial for building bone density,

while vitamin K2 ensures that calcium is deposited

into our bones.

Protect and perform

Joints and cartilage act as the body's natural shock

absorbers, protecting bones from the repetitive

stress of physical activities. Healthy cartilage reduces

friction in the joints, allowing for smooth movement

and minimizing wear on our bones. Nutrients like

glucosamine and collagen, support cartilage repair and

flexibility, while calcium, magnesium, and vitamins

D3 and K2 help strengthen bones and prevent injury

from physical strain.

Preserving strength and mobility

After 50, bone density decreases faster than it can be

rebuilt, leading to thinner bones that are more prone

to fractures. Key nutrients like calcium, magnesium,

and vitamins D3 and K2 are vital for maintaining bone

strength, while glucosamine, and collagen support

cartilage health and joint flexibility, helping to preserve

mobility and reduce discomfort as we age.

What is bone density?

Bone density is a measurement of the amount of

minerals present in a specific area of bone. These

minerals, primarily calcium and phosphorus, make

up 65% of bone tissue and are what give bone its

hardness and rigidity. Bone density is an important

indicator of how likely bones are to break.

1 DAY,

1 HEART,

100 000

BEATS.

The heart is the body’s hardest working

muscle. It beats over 100 000 times a day,

delivering 7500 litres of blood through

nearly 10 000 kilometres of blood vessels. Each

beat requires the same amount of force as

squeezing a tennis ball with one hand, even

while at rest. It pumps blood throughout our

bodies, transporting oxygen and nutrients while

helping get rid of waste products. And for

the amount of work it does for our bodies, it’s

surprisingly small—only the size of your fist.

Almost 80% of early-stage

heart disease can be reversed

with a healthier lifestyle.

So, take a beat to think

about your heart today!

Matters of the

he rt.

...it really made me

reflect on what I’d

done, not just in the

short term, like in the

recent months and

years, but the impact

of what you do over

your whole life, how

these things build up.

I don't fear

mortality anymore.

It's important to

enjoy the time

you have.

Sean Squires has spent a lifetime pushing boundaries, not

only as a dedicated long-distance and varsity running coach,

but also as a philanthropist, father, and grandfather. Since

2017, he’s been a CanPrev ambassador, with his days defined by

resilience, endurance and a drive to make a positive impact in the

lives of others. But in 2022, his health took an unexpected turn

that forced him to reassess everything he thought he knew about

fitness, nutrition and self-care.

For Sean, fitness had always been about more than just physical

health–it was a way to inspire and connect with others. At the age of

48, he rekindled a passion for running. This soon led him to coaching

running clinics and eventually becoming the varsity coach for

Centennial College’s cross-country program. “I love seeing people

achieve their goals whether it’s fitness, competition or just a way

to get out and meet other people. I love seeing people challenge

themselves and have fun doing it.”

Despite these accomplishments,

what happened in 2022 was a

stark reminder that even the

fittest people aren’t invincible. Just

30 minutes after completing a halfmarathon,

Sean suffered a heart attack.

The experience came as a shock for

someone so devoted to fitness. “Getting

older, life catches up with you,” Sean

reflects. “ I was training a lot, I was

exercising a lot, but I probably wasn’t

eating as well as I should have been.”

The startling experience gave him

a renewed sense of purpose and a

deeper understanding of what matters

most. “It really makes you think about

what’s important in your life, and the

kind of things you want to achieve

going forward. We have to help

ourselves first.”

Sean’s story is a powerful reminder

that no matter how active we are,

taking care of our hearts—through

both exercise and balanced nutrition

—is essential. For Sean, it was a lesson

learned the hard way, but one he now

shares with others as a source of

inspiration.

Care for

Putting

yourself

first

Embracing boundaries and creating space for yourself.

Kim’s journey is one of resilience and self-discovery. Living with

lupus–a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the

body’s own organs–brought profound health challenges, including

a kidney transplant. As a natural nurturer, Kim prioritized the

needs of others over her own in an effort

to overcompensate for her health issues.

It wasn’t until she began setting boundaries

and embracing self-care that she realized the

importance of putting herself first. “With lupus,

you just have to listen to your body. And some

days, my body’s telling me, ‘You need to rest,’

and I’m learning to honour that.”

Kim shows us that self-care isn’t selfish—it’s

essential. Her message is clear: putting

yourself first isn’t about neglecting others,

but about ensuring you’re in a better place

to give your best to those around you. Even

when life doesn’t go as planned, you can still

shine in your own unique way.

SELF

CARE

STARTS

HERE

Feeling good takes work. As women, we

understand this well. We’re often found

putting in the effort to care for those

around us, while our own self-care gets

put on the back burner. CanPrev Women

was created to support the unique health

goals of women and provide the tools you

need to upgrade your self-care toolbox.

We’re here to remind you that choosing

to put your health first is empowering, and

enables you to be the best version of yourself

for those around you. The road to better health

takes time, guidance, and sometimes, a few

encouraging words. That’s why we’re here. To

give you that gentle nudge to dive deeper into

your health journey, because you’re worth it.

Building

your selfcare

crew

Having a community that lifts you and and supports your goals

can help prevent feelings of anxiety, burnout, and isolation.

Andrea and her partner knew they wanted to have children, but

Andrea was born with a chromosome deficiency that left her at risk

of miscarriage. Sadly, on their journey to becoming parents to two

little ones, they experienced 3 devastating losses. Going through a

miscarriage can feel isolating, and sharing

that very personal experience with others

can undoubtedly feel vulnerable.

But when Andrea opened up to her friends

and community, she realized that more

often than not, there’s always at least

one other person in the room who

understands what you’re going through.

Opening up to people may be scary, but

it can help you build trust. It can not only

connect you with the resources you need,

but also give you a sense of comfort,

belonging, and hope.

Getting help

without feeling

helpless

Listen to

your body

Advocating for your health is empowering, but it’s not always

easy–especially when you’re not feeling your best. Every step you

take toward caring for your health is an act of courage.

When a devastating car accident left Caitlin with chronic pain and

limited mobility, she had a hard time convincing her healthcare

practitioners that her symptoms were real. Beyond that, she was

confronted with even more life-altering health issues–a diagnosis of

thyroid cancer, followed by carpal tunnel so severe it impacted her

daily life, and a medical mishap that caused a collapsed lung.

Caitlin’s surgeon insisted she’d have to get her entire thyroid removed

due to the cancer, but Caitlin was hesitant. She’d done her research

and learned that it wasn’t always necessary to remove the entire

thyroid, but had a difficult time finding a medical professional who

would support her. With determination

and dedication, Caitlin eventually found

an acupuncturist who helped manage

her chronic pain, a surgeon who would

honour her wishes to keep her thyroid

intact, and a cancer counsellor who

helped her find joy again.

Each chapter of her journey tested her

spirit, but Caitlin refused to let these trials

define her.

We’ve all experienced the occasional feeling that

something feels “off” in our body. In these moments, it’s

important to listen to what your body is telling you.

The pressure and demands of our jobs can easily

overshadow our internal cues, leaving us feeling

disconnected and out of sync. Jessie, like many of us,

pushed through the fatigue and ignored signs of stress,

committed to doing it all. However, it wasn’t until she

paused and made deliberate choices to restore balance

in her life, that her healing journey truly began.

A schedule for success

Let's face it: staying on track with your supplement

routine can be a challenge. We start with

enthusiasm, loading up on vitamins and

minerals, only to find ourselves forgetting to

take them after a few weeks. Life gets busy, and

those little bottles can start gathering dust on

the shelf. It's all too easy to forget or skip a day,

leaving us wondering if we're even getting the

health benefits we're hoping for.

Establishing a consistent supplement routine

is more than just a good habit — it's vital for

optimizing their effectiveness.

Taking certain nutrients at specific times can

enhance their absorption and impact. For

instance, some supplements are best taken with

food to improve digestion, while others may work

more effectively on an empty stomach.

This is where a well-organized supplement

schedule comes into play! By mapping out your

daily intake, you can not only build a routine

but also ensure you're maximizing the benefits

of each nutrient. With a little planning, you can

easily incorporate your supplements into your

daily life and feel confident that your body is

receiving the support it needs throughout

the day.

Consistency is key to maximizing the benefits of your

supplements. This schedule outlines when to take each

supplement and whether to pair it with food. As a rule

of thumb, vitamins and minerals should be taken with

food for better absorption, while herbal supplements

are most effective on an empty stomach.

I love that it’s a family business that has grown,

and we’ve been able to watch it grow. I’ve heard

feedback from retailers saying that through

COVID, CanPrev really stood above and beyond,

taking care of retailers and supporting them

through the challenges they faced.

Ellen Wheeler, VP of Sales at Alive Publishing

What stands out most is their commitment

to quality and research, as well as their

ability to help people feel connected

and supported. They remind you,

‘You know what? You’re not alone.'

Kayla Koh, mobility & performance coach/fascial

stretch specialist, CanPrev Ambassador

When I think of CanPrev, I think of generosity,

community and trust. They’re a brand I can

trust to have ingredients that work, formulated

with patients’ best intentions in mind by

people who truly understand the industry—

not just someone looking to make a profit.

Dr. Garrett Bramall, Naturopathic Doctor

When I was playing professional sports, you

had to watch what you put into your body.

Quality comes to mind—being reassured

that what I was putting in my body was

safe and compliant with CFL guidelines was

massive. It really put my mind at ease.

Mason Bennett, former Hamilton Tiger Cats

defensive end, entrepreneur, CanPrev Ambassador

When I think of CanPrev,

I really think of a family,

like a support system. It

feels like a really good

community that I can

lean on.

Kennedy Justinen, Canadian World Cup

Snowboardcross athlete, CanPrev Ambassador

I believe in their purpose,

and being a part of their

journey has been an honour.

HUMBLE

BEGINNINGS

Tanya and Franco set up

shop in a tiny rented office

space complete with patio

home with the kitchen

as its warehouse. Our

early spaces were light on

furniture but had a lot

of heart!

SUPPORTING THE NATURAL

HEALTH INDUSTRY

We partnered with industry leaders like

OAND and CCNM to show our support

for the industry and participate in their

orientation and speaker series events.
