"If you can't pronounce an ingredient on a food label, then don't eat it. It's not food," declares Ryan Mustone, Nutrition Stop co-owner/store manager. "More and more consumers are seeking food and items to support natural lifestyles or improve health conditions. We've earned a regional reputation of being 'the' place to go to for personalized, holistic health care and affordable organic food, including grass-fed meat, seafood, microgreens and fresh, medicinal mushrooms."
Although the store's been open since 1986, Ryan says he took over ownership two years ago, and has been curating a regenerative lifestyle center. "We built relationships with many new, like-minded natural product vendors so we could add fresh options. Our shoppers share that they trust us due to our knowledge and integrity, along with the helpful experiences they get here."
Store products at 4101 Mexico Road, Suite K, in St. Peters range from finely curated vitamins, supplements, organic wine, clean spirits and sports/fitness protein powders to pet care products, organic groceries, local produce and natural body care products. Ryan says most people walk in and comment on how amazing the store smells!
Most of the store's products are intentionally organic/non-GMO with no-additives, and are sugar-free, gluten-free and low-sodium.
Ryan believes people have an innate ability to heal, naturally. He's a dedicated Wim Hof (breathing and cold therapy) practitioner, avid hiker, canoeist, world traveler and family man.
Prior to purchasing Nutrition Stop, Ryan served as a wholesale broker and educator in the natural products industry, servicing 150-plus health food stores across the Midwest for top manufacturers of natural products. He says he has countless hours training directly with top researchers in their respective fields, and has volunteered on organic farms across Hawaii.
"At Nutrition Stop, we vett ingredients. We source local, organic and ethical brands that share our vision to nourish," explains Ryan.
On Oct. 24, a lecture with a Terry Naturally representative will be hosted at the store: Natural Solutions for Heart Health, Blood Sugar, LowerA1C for those dealing with diabetes or wanting to decrease their blood sugar levels through natural solutions. Complimentary yoga classes also are offered Tuesday evenings at 6:40 p.m.
“Every one of our employees is dedicated to supporting individuals seeking to reclaim their health with natural remedies that have been around for generations,” Ryan says.
Nutrition Stop customers also can participate in food tastings, and order products from the company's website to be shipped to desired locations.
