March has always felt like a month of renewal, a bridge between winter’s lingering grasp and the promise of spring. It’s a time of transformation—longer days, fresh blooms and ideal moments to embrace new habits to nourish body and soul. This theme of revitalization is at the heart of this month’s issue, where we explore the power of food, nutrition and wellness to enhance our lives. 

Our feature story dives into Personalized Nutrition, a rapidly growing field that tailors diet and wellness strategies to individual needs. With cutting-edge research and expert advice, we explore how technology and science are changing our approach to food, making it more intuitive and beneficial. In Cooking with Healthy Oils, the best choices for heart health and inflammation reduction are highlighted, informing our decisions in the kitchen. Fueling Exercise Recovery teaches how strategic nutrition can support post-workout healing and performance.

Gardening enthusiasts will love Windowsill Herb Gardening, a guide to growing fresh, fragrant herbs in your home. We can only fit so much in our print magazine, so there is even more published online at NaturalAwakeningsNWF.com for those looking to embrace sustainability, Drought-Resistant Gardening has insight into creating lush landscapes while conserving water.

As we celebrate Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, March 8, we can recognize and appreciate the women who shape our communities, families and futures. On March 30, the Strength in Unity Conference and Business Expo is a free event to celebrate women by focusing on entrepreneurship, mentorship and leadership to better communities. Be sure not to miss our exclusive online article, Honoring the Women in Our Lives, to reflect on the strength, wisdom and resilience of women in history and in our own circles. 

So much is happening this month! The Bay Area Health & Wellness Expo, The Whale Festival and many more events are listed in the calendar.

As we embrace the changing season, let’s commit to making choices that nourish, heal and inspire. Whether it’s through food, movement, mindfulness or meaningful connections, March is a time to reset and flourish.

Wishing you health and happiness,
