About Us |
Live better longerLiving longer, and being more fit, healthy, vibrant and able along the way, is what Zwell is all about. Our mission is to maximize the lifespan and - perhaps more important - the “wellness span” of our members. We call this “Zwellspan” – the portion of our lives where the conditions normally associated with aging are not a barrier to a full and active daily life. Our goal is to make Zwellspan and Lifespan the same thing. When it comes to the health issues we face as we get older, it is often hard to cut through the noise and find the information and products we need – there is simply so much information. Zwell is here to simplify your quest for total wellness. We focus exclusively on the needs of Canadians 45+, bringing information clarity and simple solutions to the pursuit of wellness. We believe in health promotion versus illness medicine that focuses only on symptom management. We filter the available information and provide advice towards health expansion using natural and organic solutions (versus synthetic) and in doing so, we remove the opportunity for disease to take hold. We believe in looking towards ancient traditions and the latest, most cutting edge science to make the most of the learning and create harmony between each of us as individuals and the natural world we inhabit. We want to be your trusted source for Total Zwellness.

How to be truly Zwell: The Four Pillars of Zwellness1 Feed your body.It’s true, we are what we eat, but more than this we are what we absorb and assimilate. Feeding your body is about much more than simply what you put in your mouth. Feeding your body is about understanding how your body uses food and how the food you consume can help or hinder your total Zwellness. Knowing what to eat and then doing it in practice is not easy, but it is an essential cornerstone of our Total Zwellness philosophy. We believe the keys are:
2 Sweat for at least 20 minutes every day.Your body knows only two things, growth and decay. It’s not your brain that signals which mode to be in – it’s your large muscle groups. With exercise, these muscle groups push chemical messengers into your bloodstream that tell every tissue in your body to stay in its youthful growth mode, rather than winding down into decay. With the rapidly emerging genetic sciences, the proof connecting exercise to longevity is building rapidly. 3 Carry your (right) weight.Weight is not a goal - it’s a byproduct. You can't control it directly, and that’s why 95% of people who try to control weight, fail. What is controllable are the Items 1 and 2 above and if you do these two things your weight will stabilize at its correct level and maintain that level over time. 4 Feed your mind.Humans are curious and social animals to the core. Connecting with people and constantly developing interests and ideas is proven to keep us younger. So, why not commit and connect to something bigger than yourself - your family, community, church, charity, favorite sport - whatever is important to you. Travel, play, flirt, frolic, reach out, and do new things. "None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm." - Henry David Thoreau "Love makes those young whom age doth chill, and whom he finds young. keeps young still." - William Cartwright "Age does not protect you from love, but love to some extent protects you from age." - Jeanne Moreau
