Raw nose. Back aches. Sleepless nights.

We’ve all felt the sting of a body out of balance.

Lou Liberatore opened The Healthy Bug back in 2005 to educate and assist customers with their health concerns. And Lou takes this mission very seriously. He’s routinely found chatting animatedly with guests as they browse the shelves in his bright, clean retail space.

Nestled snug-as-a-bug at the end of the pink plaza on Joseph Howe Drive, the store offers a swarm of supplements, homeopathic remedies, vitamins, natural cosmetics, organic and free range meats and gluten free products. 

Lou’s firsthand work experience with companies like Sisu and Flora comes in handy. He’ll guide you to the best product for your needs and not simply the most expensive. The Healthy Bug features the highest quality supplements and food products, which are locally produced and sourced whenever possible. 

Count on the store being a beehive of activity the first Monday of each month. Mad Mondays are a big draw for bug lovers as customers receive 15 percent off regularly priced products. 

If you can’t make it between 9 am and 7 pm, customers can email or phone in orders ahead of time with a credit card and still get the Mad Monday discount. 

Sweet as honey.
