NWP Episode 137: Using Bee Products for Your Health and the Health of the Planet with Carly Stein of Beekeeper’s Naturals
As founder and CEO of the wellness brand Beekeeper’s Naturals, Carly’s mission is to improve the health of humans and bees alike, which is why she left her job on the trading floor at Goldman Sachs to launch Beekeeper’s Naturals full-time in 2016.
Beekeeper’s Naturals is on a mission to revamp your medicine cabinet. Rather than relying on conventional products, their potent nutraceuticals are made from plant extracts and powerful remedies from the beehive—like royal jelly, propolis, and bee pollen. To make the most out of what nature has to offer, Carly and her team use scientific rigor to craft the highest quality solutions to everyday health issues—like brain fog, low energy, and scratchy throats.
As a beekeeper and a tireless advocate for the preservation of the waning global bee population, Carly is dedicated to using her company as a platform to make a difference and raise awareness for the bee cause. Carly was recently recognized as a game-changing entrepreneur on the 2019 Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
In this episode we discuss:
Carly’s background to beginning her company Beekeeper’s Naturals and how it is rooted in her own health journey.
BKN’s mission to improve the health of you, the bees and the planet and how those are all interconnected
Understanding how bees contribute to the global ecosystem and how factors, like pesticide use, are affecting the decline of the bee population
How using bee products can improve your health, such as how propolis improves your immune system
Understanding each part of the bee hive (propolis, royal jelly, bee pollen and honey) and the role they have in the hive and also how they each can improve your health

This episode is brought to you by Beekeepers Natural. Beekeepers Natural is a wellness company that makes innovative products made from healing hive compounds, but they are also on a mission to save the bees! My personal favorite product is the propolis throat spray, made from the immune system of the hive it has incredible germ fighting properties and is something I always have on hand when traveling and when I feel the need for extra immune support. And I also love B. Powered which combines all the superfoods of the hive of propolis, royal jelly, energizing bee pollen, and—of course— honey, I’ve been putting this in my afternoon tea for an energy boost. And the superfood cacao honey, made with Ecuadorian cacao and sustainably sourced honey is so delicious drizzled on yogurt, smoothies and on my toast too!

If you listen to this podcast for any length of time, you know I’m a big fan of collagen. Collagen is the main structural protein in skin, bone and connective tissue and using collagen powders is a great way to include this traditional food in your diet and something I like to use Instead of protein powder. I love that New Chapter offers three different kinds of collagen powders, collagen glow that is mixed with sea buckthorn for hair and skin support, collagen move with calcium added for joint support and collagen elevate with matcha added for mental energy and clarity. All collagen powders are Non-GMO, gluten free and multi sourced from grass fed, pasture raised beef and cage free chicken.
You can purchase New Chapter’s Collagen powders on New Chapter’s website, Whole Foods, CVS, Amazon and local health food stores. Thank you so much for sponsoring today’s episode New Chapter.
