I am glad that Healthy Planet opened up more west of Mississauga/Oakville! Other than Wholefoods, Goodness Me and other smaller nutritional stores in malls, I always felt there was not a good option for health and nutrition store options in the area. In my opinion, in terms of the health foods, the staff is knowledgeable. I do not want to say they are at the naturopathic doctor level of course but general knowledge and recommendations, they can handle.
The first occasion of why I made my first visit to the store was to look for Manuka honey and they had more than enough variety and types you could spend more than 30mins deciding. I asked one of the staff and she was able to recommend me based on experience and just the general usage of the product. She definitely made my visit worthwhile.
I would recommend looking at their flyer and seeing what on special since they always have a bunch of stuff. Also, they have speakers and various health practitioners that come in to the store every few weeks apparently. So be sure to ask about it. I personally have not been to a session but would like to in the future. What can I day.. Knowledge is power right... More health knowledge would not hurt.
