I’ve been writing about natural health since 2005, when I started the first Recalling Health blog. Back then I was exploring supplements, herbs, food, and the connections between body, mind and spirit. In 2010, Recalling Health moved to its own website.
Today the main Recalling Health site is focused primarily on body wellness, and this shop is a natural extension of that work.
I’ve spent many years watching chronic health problems affect people in my own family. That experience led me to ask questions about nutrition, supplements and natural approaches long before wellness became an internet industry.
It also taught me something important:
Natural doesn’t automatically mean safe.
In the early 1990s, I sold a thermogenic weight-loss tea — the kind marketed to boost metabolism and help with weight loss. One of my customers had a serious adverse reaction to it.
I stopped selling the tea.
More importantly, the experience changed the way I approached natural health from that point forward. I decided that enthusiasm wasn’t enough. I needed to understand what was in a product, what evidence existed for it, what cautions came with it, and how it might interact with medications or health conditions.
Today we have access to far more research than I had then, and I use it.
That doesn’t mean I know everything. It means I’m willing to look before I leap—and before I tell you where the stepping stones are.
I’m also an author and publisher. I founded One Pupil Publications in 2011, and some of my work has involved explaining complicated federal disability programs in ordinary language.
That taught me to read the fine print, question sweeping claims, look for the source behind the statement, and ask one of my favorite questions:
“Says who?”
I bring that same habit to Recalling Health.
On the main Recalling Health site, we explore common health concerns and examine the role that food, lifestyle, herbs and supplements may play in supporting better health.
Here in the Shop, you’ll find products connected to that research.
So far, our health library includes topics such as type 2 diabetes, heart health, arthritis and cholesterol, with more being added over time.
The goal isn’t to create the biggest supplement catalog on the internet. It’s to create a useful one.
Products featured in the Recalling Health Shop fall into two categories:
Lo’s Personal Stock
Products I personally use or keep in my own wellness cabinet.
Research Reviewed
Products I haven’t personally used, but that I’ve reviewed for ingredients, intended use, cautions and available research before deciding to feature them.
I’ll always tell you which is which. And because bodies, medications and circumstances differ, something that works well for one person may not be appropriate for another.

And remember: supplements can have side effects and can interact with medications—even when the label says natural.
Stay curious. Ask questions. Read the label.
And maybe we can make this road to better health a little easier to travel.
Hey, this is Lo—and I gotta go…
