London, UK, 19 June, 2026: Today, Healf announces the launch of The Source, a new premium print magazine created to help readers make wellbeing personal, not perfect.
At a time when people are being bombarded with biohacks, optimisation protocols, conflicting health advice, and a seemingly endless pressure to reach perfection, The Source's very first issue centres on anti-optimisation and the future of wellbeing. It speaks directly to readers who seek a calmer, less complicated approach, and explores the burgeoning movement that reconnects wellbeing with the ancient fundamentals of living well, tapping into that wisdom alongside cutting-edge, modern technology.
This inaugural issue taps into the latest science, practices, and trends surrounding health and wellbeing, and is led by expert insight and personal experience. It features contributions from:
Co-editor, Currie Engel (formerly Women’s Health), says:
“This magazine is a reflection of thousands of conversations the Healf team has had with customers all over the world. We’ve listened to what people want, what they're struggling with, and where the knowledge gaps are. Survey after survey has shown that people want less optimisation and more personalisation — so The Source has been created to give them just that.”
The magazine launch marks a new chapter for Healf, arriving alongside Healf Experience (HX26). Created to help the ever-growing wellbeing community find practical habits to feel their best each day, HX26 will explore the future of global wellbeing through a series of immersive experiences and industry panels. From the latest insights into longevity with Dr. Rhonda Patrick, to breaking neuroscience with Andrew Huberman (in his first-ever UK appearance), HX26 is set to help thousands of guests make wellbeing personal this June 20th and 21st at 180 Studios in London.
On personal wellbeing, Lestat McCree, Founder and CEO of Healf, remarks:
“At Healf, we believe wellbeing is personal. There’s no universal blueprint for living well, and both The Source and HX26 are about helping people explore the ideas, rituals, and perspectives that resonate with them, whether that comes from modern science, ancient practices, or everyday habits that have stood the test of time.”
As the UK’s fastest growing wellbeing platform, Healf expertly curates the most impactful products, rituals, and insights to help people make wellbeing personal, and live better each day. In 2026, Healf was named the #1 fastest-growing company in Europe by the Financial Times as part of the FT1000 list.
