The Tonic is for those aspiring to lead more balanced lives, but who (with jobs and schedules and social lives)  cannot dedicate all their time to that pursuit.

Only a few years ago, 'paleo' referred only to an era, not a way of living, and only ballerinas hung out at barres. The wellness industry is in full swing and on this site you'll find recommendations that range from the sage to the simple, and from the indulgent to those that are easy to integrate into your life.

Welcome.

Philosophy

The Tonic aims to build a communal conversation powered by curiosity, by modern rituals, by food as medicine, and the awakening of the spiritual, intellectual, and ethical mind. Your body and mood are the ultimate investment, and we're committed to feeling our most vibrant, without preaching deprivation or sacrificing the bits that juice up our days. 

Editorial policy

All the information on this site is purely editorial. All content is written in-house and features only people, places, items, and ideas that we love and believe in. If I don’t like something, I won't write about it.

The Tonic content is not sponsored or paid-for unless clearly stated. On any occasion when the site works with a brand to bring you sponsored content, you will know. Paid or sponsored links will always be clearly identified. The site does, on occasion, receive a preferential rate or a free experience as part of the review process, but this in no way impacts my decision about coverage: things and experiences will only make it onto the site if I love them.
