I’ve always believed that personal wellbeing should reflect the values we live by. When we care for our health, stay connected to nature, and support those around us, we become living examples of what it means to pursue optimal health.
When you ask Kevin Gellenbeck, Ph.D., about carotenoids, plan to settle in for a master class. For over 30 years, the good doctor has been researching the wonders of carotenoids and the plants that make them.
Watching Hazel reminds me how fortunate I am for the blessings my parents shared with me over the years, including the importance of good nutrition right from the start. With every decade, the Nutrilite brand has certainly been there for me whether I was fueling big dreams or simply persevering.
Last year placed a lot on our collective plates. Some people fared better than others. New research sheds some light onto how our lifestyle habits affect how we respond. Turns out, better psychological resilience – mental toughness – is directly linked to five lifestyle habits.
“Probiotics” is a term you probably recognize. After all, it has been making headline nutrition news for the past decade. And for good reason. These so-called “good” bacteria reside in your gut where they support overall health and well-being.
Soon we will be celebrating Thanksgiving. I always look forward to this time of year when the family gathers at out home.
When you think of nutrients for immune health, you probably think about letter vitamins like A, C and D. But I encourage you to also think of the trace mineral zinc. Why? Zinc is another powerful tool in your nutrition toolbox for immune health.
These days, when the topic turns to kid’s nutrition, I tend to think about the grandchildren. OK, Francesca says I
If you’re like me, you’re spending more time these days staring into yet another screen. A lot more. Sure, typical work tasks are notorious for requiring lots of screen time from entering numbers into spreadsheets to writing reports to creating presentations. But now, we can add even more time as work goes virtual and video conferencing becomes the new normal.
If you’re like most people, you may be feeling more stressed these days. I know I do as I work to navigate my way through the uncertainty of my new normal. It’s that uncertainty that can ramp up stress and anxiety. Without relief, it’s a slow burn to poor health, both emotional and physical.
I have been in the business of health for a long time. A long, long time. I often joke that I was the first lab rat for the Nutrilite™ brand because my mother ate Nutrilite supplements when she was pregnant with me.
I think we all know the benefits of exercise. It’s like a magic elixir that wipes away stress, boosts mood, improves sleep and generally enhances all aspect of living. For me, exercise has always been part of my life. In fact, I couldn’t imagine not doing it.
The COVID-19 pandemic has us all on edge. We’re all sheltering in place with screen time as the new normal for social support. We’re bombarded with nonstop COVID-19 news. And, we’re anxious about juggling work, school and business from home. No wonder, the world seems to be in a mental funk.

I find it heartwarming to see so many examples of resilience and compassion making headline news. Glass walls may separate the most vulnerable from their loved ones, but care and love are still on full display. Older folks may need to shelter in place, but neighbors are stepping up to help shop for supplies or lend a helping hand.
I remember back during my graduate school days, we really didn’t understand the benefits of sleep, let alone the damaging effects from too little of it. It was just something we needed to do. The less of it, many of my peers thought, the better, as more could be accomplished during the waking hours.

Have you ever wondered what blood tests you need to determine if your nutritional needs are met? That is the question I recently received from a reader who also happens to be a very good friend of mine.
Our best chance to sustainably feed the world is to follow what is now being called a flexitarian diet. That’s the conclusion of the EAT-Lancet Commission after their full scientific review. A flexitarian diet is a vegetarian diet with a little flexibility. It’s largely plant-based, but also includes a moderate amount of fish, meat, dairy and other animal foods.
Happy New Year! As the celebration continues, you may be thinking about making a few resolutions to fill this year with success and prosperity.
Reflections from Dr. Sam
Personal wellbeing isn’t just about you or me. It’s about the people around us, our family, friends and the greater community. Taking care of yourself, nurturing your connection with nature, and making an effort to transform challenges into opportunities, will help lead us to a future where we can all happily coexist.
Wellness has always been central to my story. When my father, Carl F. Rehnborg, founded Nutrilite in 1934, his goal was to help people everywhere take responsibility for their health, their wealth, and the planet. Even then, he knew that all these things were interconnected. His vision shaped my own path—a journey grounded in curiosity, science, and a passion for helping others live well.
Nutrilite is so much more than a plant-based supplement brand – it is a way of life that has stood the test of time. With a passion centered on health + wellbeing, Amway is the world’s largest direct selling company*. It spans six continents with a presence in 100+ countries and territories.

There’s a long history of farming innovation at Nutrilite. It started when my father, Carl F. Rehnborg, began growing alfalfa in the 1930s before we even knew to call it organic. He was looking for the purest, most nutritious botanicals, and he already knew that they needed to be grown sustainably and naturally, without any synthetic fertilizers or chemicals. That same belief continues to guide us today.
