When it comes to getting and staying well during cold and flu season, your top defense is with the food you eat. At our panel on Nov. 9, 2017, we talked to board-certified internist,  functional medicine doctor, and author of “The Happy Gut,” Dr. Vincent Pedre, health coach and author of “The Real Food Grocery Guide,” Maria Marlowe, and INDAY founder Basu Ratnam (they hosted!) about their best tips for eating for immunity.

The keto diet, the paleo diet, Whole30, veganism...there are a lot of diets out there. In this guide, WellBe looks at the 6 most popular diets right now, and the benefits and drawbacks of each.

The WellBe Guide to Different Types of Sugar looks at how sugar affects your body, and which types of sugar are best (and worst) for your health.

Most of us probably don’t think of ourselves as someone who has lived through trauma like abuse, abandonment, or some kind of tragic accident. Yet the more we learn about the concept of “trauma,” the more scientists are beginning to understand that in early childhood, much more subtle events can cause trauma and affect your long-term chronic disease risk as well as your ability to heal symptoms in the short term. The craziest part is that we don’t even know about most of these traumas that have such a huge impact on our lives — or they’re buried so deep that our conscious minds can’t see how much they affect us. Thankfully, there are ways to pull them to the surface (as painful or uncomfortable as that may be), and then release them. Read on to learn how repressed feelings affect your health, proven techniques for releasing emotions, how to heal emotional trauma through EMDR trauma therapy, and more.

The umbrella of complementary and alternative medicine is large. Underneath it you’ll find everything from acupuncture to herbal tinctures to infrared therapy and beyond, all of which are founded upon deep tradition, robust research, or both. But one field of alternative medicine that’s been less studied and explored is that of prayer for physical healing. Given how many people pray for specific health outcomes, it’s quite notable how little is actually known about the healing power of prayer — but we do know some things. Read on to learn what the research says about prayer, spirituality and health. 

We recently announced some big news: WellBe’s founder Adrienne is pregnant! This is, of course, exciting and happy news, but it also reminded us of the fact that getting pregnant isn’t easy for many people. In fact, the National Fertility Association reports that more than 1 in 8 couples struggle with getting pregnant, and many of those people are at a loss as to how to improve fertility. So with Infertility Awareness week just behind us and Mother’s Day around the corner, we wanted to explore the huge topic of trying to get pregnant, and look at how to increase fertility naturally. Read on to the best natural fertility boosters, fertility-boosting foods, and more. 

We take a look at what causes UTIs, why some people get chronic UTIs, and how to naturally treat and prevent them.
