Supporting Staff Wellbeing Through Better Sleep 💤

We were delighted to be part of this year's Staff Wellbeing Day, delivering our Sleep Well Workshop and an interactive healthy cookalong.

Together, staff explored some of the key nutrition and lifestyle habits that support better sleep, before rolling up their sleeves to make a nourishing homemade granola to take home. Packed with wholesome ingredients, it's designed to help set them up for a balanced start to the day after a good night's rest.

A huge thank you for having us as, wishing all staff a restful and restorative midterm break. 💙

Something new is coming to Vital Nutrition… 💚

A face-to-face community for women in midlife - a space to learn, ask questions, share experiences and make some positive changes to support your health and wellbeing.

Cut through the noise and information overload, and get clear, practical advice you can actually use.

From perimenopause and menopause to energy, sleep, mood, hormones, healthy eating and everything in between.

No fads. No complicated rules. No judgement. Just practical, evidence-based nutrition, good conversation and the chance to connect with other women who get it.

I’m really excited about this one. It could be great couldn't it?

Still smiling... ✨

Now that we've had a chance to catch our breath and reflect, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate 25 years of Vital Nutrition sponsored by Linwoods Health Foods.

The evening was a chance to look back on the journey so far and, more importantly, to celebrate the clients, customers, collaborators, supporters and friends who have been part of it. Seeing so many familiar faces in one room was incredibly special.

A few thank yous to the people who helped make the evening what it was:

🌿 Linwoods Healthfoods for their generous support and fantastic goody bags

💚 for being such a valued part of our celebrations

🎶 Swing Gals for bringing the energy, fun and fabulous soundtrack to the night

🎂 for creating our beautiful celebration cakes

📸 for capturing the highlights of the evening

🏛️ The team at Riddel Hall, Queen's University, for looking after us so well and making everything run seamlessly

🤝 And to the friends and family who rolled up their sleeves and helped behind the scenes on the night, thank you. Events like these are always a team effort.

Most of all, thank you to everyone who has supported Vital Nutrition over the years. Whether you've been with us for 25 years or 25 days, you've helped shape the story we're celebrating today.

Here's a little recap of a fantastic evening. We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed being there. 💚

⏳One day to go!

Looking back over 25 years, it's often the relationships that matter most.

What started with a flyer in a small Botanic Avenue health food shop led to a chance connection with a U105 producer and, ultimately, a friendship with that has remained part of the Vital Nutrition journey ever since.

We're so grateful to have Carolyn playing such a special role in our anniversary celebrations (sponsored by Healthfoods ) as she puts me though my paces in 'A Conversation with Jane'.

✨Thank you Carolyn.

📸Another one from the archives...we've both had a branding refresh since then!

Some partnerships become part of your story.

As we get ready to celebrate 25 years of Vital Nutrition, I’m really pleased to have Linwoods Healthfoods supporting our anniversary celebrations.

I started Vital Nutrition in 2001, at a time when the nutrition conversation looked very different. Just two years later, in 2003, Linwoods (founded in 1965) launched its Health Foods range, beginning with Organic Milled Flaxseed – an ingredient that was still relatively unfamiliar to most of us.

Over the years, both our businesses have evolved alongside the changing conversation around food, health and wellbeing. What started with a focus on flaxseed has grown into a much wider range of everyday health foods sold in over 20 countries, while my work has evolved from general nutrition and workplace wellbeing to include gut health, women’s health, menopause and so much more.

So it feels particularly fitting to have Linwoods alongside us as we celebrate 25 years of Vital Nutrition; sharing a commitment to helping people understand the importance of good nutrition and making healthy food choices part of everyday life.

Thank you to the Linwoods team for your generous support – and for the strong relationship we’ve built over many years. 🥂

📸This photo takes me right back!

Me in 2001...at the very beginning of Vital Nutrition. I had no idea then what the next 25 years would bring - the people I’d meet, the businesses I’d work with, the conversations I’d have, or quite how much the world of nutrition would change.

There have been some big changes!

Back then, it was all about calories, low-fat foods, Atkins and ‘clean eating’.

Fast forward 25 years and the conversation has shifted: protein is king, healthy fats are celebrated, and the gut microbiome is headline news.

Even some of the advice we took for granted has changed:

Never skip breakfast → intermittent fasting
Low-fat yoghurt → high-protein versions
Avoid fat → choose better fats

But for all the changes, fads and new discoveries, the core principles of good nutrition really haven’t changed that much.

👉More plants, plenty of vegetables, protein at every meal, good fats and mostly whole foods.

There’s been a lot of change since this photo was taken – and lots to celebrate, with thanks to Linwoods Healthfoods for their generous support and our longstanding relationship. 🥂

Do you have a photo from when you were just starting out? I’d love to see it! 📸
