Andrew Thomas is director of the award-winning natural health brand, BetterYou.
BetterYou specialises in the pill-free supplementation of nutrients that have been underrepresented or simply omitted due to our modern diet and lifestyles, including transdermal magnesium and oral vitamin sprays.
After graduating in Business Management, majoring in Marketing, Andrew went on to work alongside Michael Eavis to go to launch a Glastonbury magazine, celebrating its 25th birthday. That didn’t quite go to plan and go ahead, but Andrew talks all about the lessons he had learned in business and in life from that point. After more work with publishing and magazines, Andrew joined Wrangler Jeans as head of Retail Marketing for Northern Europe. During work with a marketing and design agency, Andrew was introduced to what would become his future while he was on a photoshoot in the US.
Andrew had been an asthmatic since the age of 12. it was a chance meeting with a bio-chemist named Juan Rosello who turned his life around. Juan was a medical professional working with a select group of major American sporting teams primarily investigating the role magnesium plays in muscle recovery after exertion. Juan educated Andrew on the role that an increased intake of magnesium, along with a reduction of calcium, would play in his condition, allowing relaxation of bronchial muscles and airways. The difference in what they were investigating was magnesium being supplemented through the skin, called transdermal magnesium therapy. Andrew was touched by an immense drive to take magnesium to the world and share it with others who may benefit. Andrew hasn’t taken a steroid inhaler now for 10 years.
We talk about Andrews failures and how he has let that shape him in life but also in business going forward. We investigate why magnesium is so important for the body, whether that be athletes or people just wanting to improve their well being by enveloping something else into their routine which they had never thought about before.
We are also really proud to say that BetterYou, this awesome brand is supporting and sponsoring Mantality.
