Hometown St.Thomas Jan:Feb 2025

Healthy People, Healthy Families, Healthy Communities Starting this January, Railway City Health Hut, located inside the Elgin Centre (417 Wellington St.), is launching a program to transform lives through simple, actionable steps. The initiative, called Healthy People, Healthy Families, Healthy Communities, provides participants with weekly guidance via email, including recipes, workouts, sleep recommendations, and stress management techniques. “The goal is to take small steps throughout 2025 to improve individual lifestyles and family habits and ultimately, to contribute to a healthier community,” says Angie Mailhot, Owner of Railway City Health Hut. Participants can sign up by providing their email address in-store. Once enrolled, they will receive curated content from local health professionals. “It’s about creating something simple, with small, manageable bites of change that people can do at home,” Angie explains. The program has a small fee of $10 per month. The program is designed to be inclusive. “Our ideal participant is anyone who wants to improve their health,” Angie says. Whether it’s parents seeking to foster healthier habits for their children, adults managing conditions like diabetes, or seniors looking to boost their well-being, the program offers something for everyone.” For those needing more personalized advice, Angie says, Railway City Health Hut also offers one-on-one consultations to address specific concerns. THE TURKEY SHOPPE One key message Angie wants to convey is that health doesn’t have to be complicated. “Your health is simpler than most people think,” she says. “It’s about eliminating processed

foods, focusing on real ingredients, and making small changes over time. For example, trying one new recipe a week can lead to 52 new meals in a year — that’s a significant shift.” The recipes and advice provided through the program will cater to a wide range of dietary preferences and needs. “We’ll emphasize simple, wholesome meals,” Angie notes. “It’s not about tofu and kale unless you want it to be; it’s about helping people understand what good, nutritious food looks like.” Angie encourages booking a consultation for those who feel too overwhelmed to take the first step on their own. “Sometimes you just need someone to sit down with you, listen, and help you prioritize,” she says. “The first step is often the hardest, but it’s also the most important.” Through Healthy People, Healthy Families, Healthy Com- munities, Railway City Health Hut aims to empower individuals and families to regain control of their health. “When people start making changes and see the results, it’s inspiring,” Angie shares. “Whether it’s someone walking around the block for the first time or running a marathon, it’s amazing to see how improving health transforms lives.”
