These People Are Changing the Way We Live on This Crazy Planet

Every week, Healthyish editor Amanda Shapiro talks about what she's seeing, eating, watching, and reading in the wellness world and beyond. Pro tip: If you sign up for the newsletter, you'll get the scoop before everyone else.

Healthyish friends,

Between the holidays and the Feel Good Food Plan, it’s been a minute since we’ve talked. But I’m back now, and I’ve come with some extremely fun news.

Okay, I admit it: Even as the Healthyish editor, I sometimes—okay, often—get wellness fatigue. The same two or three names always float to the top of the conversation, and it honestly gets pretty boring. So we decided to dig a little deeper.

Today we launched The Healthyish 22, our roster of chefs, artists, entrepreneurs, and all kinds of genre-bending geniuses who are paving the way for a new kind of wellness in 2019.

These aren't all people you've seen before. They aren’t celebrities with supplement companies or #influencers shilling products for a living. They don’t have restaurant empires (though Daniela Soto-Innes is well on her way). The Healthyish 22 are hustling, sure. They’re throwing ridiculously fun dinner parties, sourcing the absolute best turmeric, getting wild with mushrooms, and making eye-poppingly good natural wine. They’re making it easier to eat healthyish out in the world and bringing wellness to the communities that need it most. They’re doing it all, but on their own terms—and we want to celebrate that.

We also want them to keep doing all the cool things they do. I hope you’ll follow these incredible folks and support their work. You could browse the virtual aisles of Jess Young’s online snack emporium, Bubble Goods, or scope these crazy face mirrors from designer Elise McMahon. I just got one of Steph DeAngelis’s prints framed for my room. You could check out Bini’s Kitchen next time you’re in S.F. or Toli Moli when you’re in D.C.

Whatever you do, I hope you find these 22 people as fun, inspiring, and not-boring as I do.

Sincerely,

Amanda Shapiro
Healthyish editor
