I have been extremely pleased with these magazines. They cover many different topics, eating right, treating your body better, relaxation techniques and many other similar topics. Unlike other similar magazines, this one has more text and advertisements. Their articles go in depth, and inspire you to learn more. This is one of the magazines you like to keep around so you can refer back to.
Wanting to make some changes in your lifestyle? Are you positive towards non-western ideas about health, diet, stress, and more; this magazine would be a great fit for you.
 Should be called Body+Soul for Women March 29, 2006

As a subscriber to Martha Stewart Living and Everyday Food I looked forward to subscribing to Body+Soul, which has 'Whole living' on the cover. So I am a tad disappointed.
First off it seems to leave men out as far as the articles go. Secondly the religious or spiritual leanings are very eastern, so for non believers of that genre of faith, the magazine leaves a lot to be desired. Even the ads are all women! So how about some honesty and call it Body+Soul for Women?
Just got the May issue and there is a great article beginning on page 96 about Spring greens, or what I call mesclun lettuce mixes. Something I grow year round actually from seeds I buy from Renee's Garden. So that's a great article. On page 115 there is a helpful article Break The Sugar Habit. There is also a nice Vet column for those of us who have cats, dogs, birds etc. And a column called Connections which deals with books and other media interests.
 Finally a magazine without all the fluff! December 14, 2004

I ordered a subscription from my babysitter for this magazine and I'm sure glad I did! I'm trying to live a more healthy life, and this is the magazine to help you do it. I've only received three issues, but they are all chock full of great articles on everything holistic. How to develop intuition, great recipes, bath spa recipes, new ideas for meditation, interviews with doctors about what herbs to take and much, much more! Usually I toss a magazine after I read it, but I will be saving all of these!
Improving Your Mental Health March 4, 2007

Whole Living Body & Soul is a magazine about improving one's mental and physical health through various means including nutrition, massage, meditation, and various self- improvements. This publication is similar to other health magazines with its nutritional aspects but different than others with its emphasis on mental health and awareness.
Body & Soul divides its space between articles that emphasize the importance of good eating habits and articles that emphasize mental health. One article might talk about herbs and their usefulness to the body while an article that follows might talk about different yoga positions for people with back problems. This magazine strives to find the right balance between what you eat and what you do each day; that is, the right balance that will lead you to a happy, satisfied life where you look and feel great.
One thing that is different with this magazine is the fact that it doesn't talk much about physical fitness, like most health and well- being magazines. The editors of Body & Soul certainly realize the importance of physical fitness but they instead dedicate this magazine to mental health. Massage, meditation, clearing the mind of negative thoughts, and other similar techniques are beneficial to all and Body & Soul emphasizes the use of these and other methods to full development of a happy, healthy person. It is also one of the few health magazines I know of that includes articles on subjects like personal finance, community involvement, giving to charity, etc. Basically, if an activity can possibly improve stress levels and create a sense of well- being, it has a chance for discussion in this magazine.
Body & Soul offers many photos on its pages but they are different from most magazines. Rather than display flashy pictures with lots of color and action, Body & Soul instead relies on simplicity to convey its message. It's the appropriate thing to do because the magazine is, after all, supposed to be about finding inner peace and this would be difficult to accomplish if the pages were covered with chaotic scenes. Instead, the simplest images command most of the spaces of the magazine. It's like looking at the items in a contemporary art museum. One page might have nothing on it but a bowl filled with crushed basil. Another page might show nothing but a pitcher of green tea against a plain, single color background. It might seem boring at first, but the intent is to get the reader in a peaceful state of mind where stress is almost non- existent.
Body & Soul offers some good reading material but I have found that it can often get quite redundant. Even within the same issue, it is common to read similar articles and it can get a little repetitive. Another criticism that has been leveled toward this magazine is the fact that it sometimes includes controversial articles about herbal healing and other topics that haven't been scientifically proven. Body & Soul keeps these types of endorsements to a minimum, so I don't think it matters. Still, there are many who work in the health field who will not appreciate these types of articles.
Overall, Whole Living Body & Soul is a good magazine that offers some interesting recipes, solid advice on nutrition, and techniques to reduce stress, improve mental awareness, and enhance overall health. I don't necessarily like everything I read in this magazine and I'm pretty sure I won't be applying all of its advice to my daily life. But this is still a good magazine and it's one that nutrition advocates and proponents of alternative health methodology will find very readable and informative.
