Welcome to Elan Vital!

Elan Vital is a health and wellness newsletter* geared toward the busy, overscheduled adult who doesn't have time to conduct in-depth research on holistic health or forge ahead with complicated cooking and who is, perhaps, budget conscious when it comes to organic eating-- yet has come to understand that knowledge of  health and wellness must expand beyond the unhealthy average American diet.  This forum is geared to educated, savvy readers interested in increasing their health and vitality who sense they need more depth-of information than delineated by talk-show pop-health gurus or the short, time-constrained, glossy segments on  Dr. Oz.  Readers may have had some experience with naturopathic doctors, but want to expand upon that knowledge.

Whether driven by health concerns, a desire for weight loss, or being fed-up with corporate manipulation of the food industry, this blog is directed toward readers who have derived that holistic health is a much needed exponent to conventional dietary wisdom.  Bon Vivants will also benefit from implementing different culinary ideas discussed on this site from the expanded palate of the natural health arena. This forum is designed to draw from the most progressive and well researched holistic health professionals, which includes a subgroup of western medical doctors, and it serves as niche or bridge that moderates between "hard-core" holistic health--which may be overwhelming or uncomfortable for the average wellness seeker--and mainstream dietary habits that are both unhealthy and slyly proliferated by mass corporate leveraging. 

This format, metaphorically speaking, is for the "upper-middle-class" of wellness seekers; for those whose interest falls somewhere between mainstream Americans concerned with their health and in-depth enthusiastic, all-out, adaptors of holistic health.  It will include explanations of terminology on subjects that are absolutely crucial for holistic health and will sometimes open doors to options for healing that are not available in Western medicine, many times  referencing important studies that actually defy conventional medical wisdom about the nutritional veracity and safety of common foods.

The blog will also include some easy recipes and comparative shopping as well as websites and  references for holistic health coaches and practitioners.  The entire purpose of this forum is to distill the most important cutting-edge, in-depth information from the holistic health arena and cull it down into practical hands on tips that can support, enhance and restore health and vitality.

*Note: Elan Vital Forum is a newsletter and is not affiliated with any wellness center, although there happens to be a wellness center of the same name; the name of this blog was derived organically from terminology coined by French philosopher Henri Bergson from his theory explaining the spontaneous evolution of organisms, postulating a vital impetus, the life force.
