The GoodLife Healthfoods

I’ve gone there several times, and they are always very helpful. The gentleman that is usually there (the owner) really knows his stuff. You won’t have to stand around like some other places trying to guess what you need and what you should buy. From time to time they will have farm fresh eggs — look for the sign in the window.

First time in store today and was super impressed with Mark’s knowledge! Don’t know why I’ve spent so much time doing research on the Internet; just ask Mark. You won’t find the quality of products or service any where else in the Thurston/​Mason County area!

It is worth going in here just to talk to the amazing woman who is I don’t know how old but clearly has the heart of a youth. She is so spry and funny and wise. There are also usually great sales here. Its an Oly institution and I love it.

I’ve been in the restaurant industry for over a decade now. That being said, before you jump to any conclusions just yet, no I do not drink jagermeister (anymore). I haven’t had health insurance since I was in high school, so when I am so sick with the flu that I am inadvertently crop dusting my section and throwing up behind the bar, I count on these little Mom and Pop places. It’s not as effective as riding the trolley into Tijuana, but it’s what I got and it works.
I first went to Good Life a few years ago when I had a severe throat infection. The man that works there is extremely knowledgeable. He practically diagnosed me within minutes of conversation and gave me several options or routes I could take, based on how involved I wanted to be with treatment and how much I wanted to spend.
I went there today and the experience was enlightening. It was the same guy, and he was very certain about what could be wrong with me. He gave me some options and commended me on my initial battle plan to attack my bout with bubble guts (I think I ate some undercooked sausage). He seems very sincere about everyone’s health, all you gotta do is walk in.
On a quick note, it is from my understanding that if someone is not a MD, they cannot «diagnose» «treat» or «prescribe» anything, which is why you will get «suggestions» So if this doesn’t sound good to you, I suggest spending your day (and money) being climbed on by a family of 8 in the waiting room at the walk-​clinic.

this is the kind of place with cheerful signage and a friendly name that totally mask the fact that when you go inside, it’s dark and dreary and mostly vitamin pills.
