Natural Life Wellness Guide – Unique Botanical Wellness Solutions

Every day, someone walks into a Natural Life store, points at a shelf, and asks a good question: what exactly is this plant, and how have people used it? This book is our founder’s answer. Gabriel Suarez built Natural Life around botanicals most stores can’t explain, then wrote down everything the labels don’t have room for.

What’s inside

• Cannabis: hemp vs. marijuana, the endocannabinoid system, and what each cannabinoid actually is
• Kratom: forms, serving sizes, all four strain colors (white, green, red, yellow and gold), and a straight word of caution
• Kava and kanna: the histories, preparation methods, and traditions behind both plants
• Functional mushrooms: reishi, lion’s mane, cordyceps, turkey tail, and chaga, one by one
• 24 everyday herbs: ashwagandha, turmeric, elderberry, St. John’s wort, lemon balm, holy basil, and more
• Plus: a chapter on nootropics, a chapter on botanicals and pets, a full glossary, and cited sources for every chapter

The foreword comes from Les Wilson, M.D., a board-certified family physician and Assistant Clinical Professor at the Florida State University College of Medicine. He shops at Natural Life himself, which is why we asked him.

It’s written in plain language and it doesn’t oversell. The kratom and kava chapters each include their own caution sections, because knowing a plant means knowing its limits too. Every chapter is backed by cited sources, not internet folklore.

Hardcover, made to live on the shelf next to the kettle. Keep one at home, and give one to the person who keeps asking what’s in your cabinet. If you’ve ever wanted one honest place to look something up before you buy it, this is the book we wished existed, so we wrote it.
