Letter from the editor

When we sat down to create Be Well last year,

I was clear about who this magazine is for.

It isn’t for wellness warriors and cleanliving influencers. It is for people like myself and my friends. People who want to eat well and stay active and look after themselves — but don’t always have the time. Or motivation. It is for busy people trying their best but who sometimes just need a night of UberEats and a bottle of pinot. People like Helen Van Berkel, who this week shares her very honest — and very funny — take on trying to lose weight. Because we’re not here to judge or tell you how to live your life. We just want to bring a little brightness to your week. And sometimes that’s as simple as sharing a good laugh. — Joanna Hunkin
