HealthAndWellness.com Debuts as Consumer-Driven Health Resource

Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) November 15, 2006 - Health and Wellness Information Network, LLC has just launched its beta site: HealthAndWellness.com, an online resource for information and inspiration in support of overall health and wellness.


"Almost 40 million U.S. adults are now using the internet first for questions on health and wellness," said founder Chris Farlow. "For HealthAndWellness.com, that means an emphasis on prevention, wellness and healing overall--not just a particular symptom or condition. We want to make it accessible, usable, and not overly clinical. We're devoted to a more complete type of consumer-driven health."

Two key channels of the launched site indicating this more comprehensive and connected approach are Mind/Body and Healthy Living. In Healthy Living, users will find everything from clear-eyed summaries on complementary and alternative therapies, solid advice for sound sleep habits, and resources for a variety of subjects around fitness, nutrition and weight loss.

The Mind Bodychannel provides a wealth of actionable information on subjects ranging from herbal supplements and Pilates method, to recent research on acupuncture's effect on migraine pain. Other key channels at HealthAndWellness.com include Women's Health, Conditions, Food/Nutrition/Diet, and Men's Health.

HealthAndWellness.com offers an informed approach to personal health, with a variety of tips, tools and screening information for prevention and early detection. Users are invited to share their own experiences, inspirations and approaches to health and wellness via submissions to My Story, a recurrent feature throughout the site.

"Wellness is not necessarily the absence of disease. We see people living well with a variety of conditions and want them to share their personal account of what health and wellness means specifically for them," Farlow noted.

For Sharon L. of Bellevue, NE, her health and wellness meant a water aerobics class to help overcome the debilitating pain of arthritis in her knees, helping her to become more active and mobile. On HealthAndWellness.com she describes one of her key motivations: to be able to travel overseas with her newly retired husband on a trip to Sydney, Australia.

"We often hear from people, 'I am not a disease, I'm a person.'," notes Aimee Oscamou, HealthAndWellness.com's Executive Editor. "People want information that is reliable, but that also speaks to you as a complete person--an individual. We want it to be personal and inviting, and give users informed options toward prevention and wellness. That should be true whether it's allergies or alpha-lipoic acid, weight loss or menopause"

The trend towards consumers taking active control of their health and health care has only recently come clearly into focus. Adds Oscamou "People need a resource with both the information and the inspiration to help them take care and be well. We think HealthAndWellness.com will be exactly that type of resource."
