Ever since childhood, when we organized our pencil case and selected our outfit for the first day of school, September has been a month that promises a new chapter, a fresh beginning on life.

We asked Holistic Nutritionist Mandy King to give us six easy steps to live healthier this fall. Grab a journal, your favourite cookbook and head to your local farmers’ market: there is daily inspiration and creativity to be found in this routine!

  • Plan & cook your meals for the week on Sunday (Soup season makes this especially easy!)
  • Keep enjoying the farmers’ markets – buying local produce tends to have higher nutrient content (Mmmmm….root vegetables! See our listing of local farmers’ markets here.)
  • Try to get outside for a 30 min walk each day
  • Boost your immune system in time for winter by adding fermented foods to your diet
  • Eat more greens! (We’re all about greens+, here’s why.)
  • Keep a gratitude journal and add one new thing to it each day
