In the past decade, America has reclaimed its reputation as a health-conscious nation. We’ve come a long way from the TV dinners and processed food obsession of the mid-to-late 1900s. Today, Americans are getting back to eating whole, minimally processed foods, and our bodies are reaping the benefits. But while healthy living is now more accessible than ever, there’s a lot of misinformation out there on what it means to eat and live healthily. This confusion is in part thanks to misleading marketers and overzealous Facebook sharers, but also because a lot goes into understanding wellness.
Demystify the hype surrounding healthy living a the Wellstock Wellness and Self-Love Festival this Saturday in Destin, FL.
The 2017 Wellstock Festival
On Saturday, Nov. 4, 2017, the coastal community is invited to attend the Wellstock Wellness and Self-Love Festival. The festival is an all-day affair, running from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. You can find vendors, music, yoga, food, and more at the Mattie Kelly Cultural Arts Village.

Tickets are $10, and kids 12 and under are admitted free of charge.
Proceeds from this non-profit event benefit Shelter House and Alaqua Animal Refuge.
