LET TER FROM THE EDITOR
Welcome to Healthy Edge!
Editoral Director Nicole Brechka Art Director Judith Nesnadny Editor Tracy Rubert
I’m delighted to welcome you to the new and improved Healthy Edge magazine, a trusty tool to help you become a smarter, savvier shopper. Much of the health care in our country today is based around treating illnesses once they develop, and many patients find themselves rushed out of their doctor’s office holding a prescription they don’t fully understand. But the good news is, we each have the power to take charge of our own health and wellness using preventive care— in the form of natural foods and supplements. I hope that our magazine gives you the information you need to make the best choices for your health and wellness. I would love to hear from you—send any questions and comments to the email address below.
