USANA's Kevin Guest Shares 7 Daily Habits for Lasting Health, Harmony for National Wellness Month
SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 4, 2025 /CNW/ -- With August marking National Wellness Month, Kevin Guest, Executive Chairman of USANA Health Sciences (NYSE: USNA), is encouraging people to embrace small daily habits that lead to lasting wellness mentally, physically, and emotionally. "Wellness isn't something you check off a list; it's a rhythm you live," said Guest, author of All the Right Reasons: 12 Timeless Principles for Living a Life in Harmony. "You don't have to overhaul your life. But if you shift a few daily choices, you'll be amazed by how much calmer, clearer, and more energized you feel." Along with exercise, proper nutrition, service to others, and a passion for music, Guest outlines seven daily habits that support long-term well-being and harmony. Start with Stillness: Whether through meditation, prayer, or a few deep breaths in a quiet place, "Five minutes of quiet can reset your entire day," Guest said. "Stillness creates clarity." Fuel with Intention:"You can't chase your dreams on junk fuel," he said. "What you feed your body determines your energy, resilience, and mood." Move Every Day:"You don't need a gym membership to move. Take a walk. Stretch. Dance in your kitchen. Your body was made to move," Guest added. Speak Kindly, Especially to Yourself: "I almost missed my first Grand Ole Opry performance because of self-doubt," Guest recalled. "That inner voice matters. Make sure it's a kind one." Choose Connection: Wellness is more than solo self-care. "Strong relationships are essential. In fact, I've found relationships are the most important thing," he wrote in All the Right Reasons. "Surround yourself with people who lift you up. Also, be there for them." Protect Your Yes:"It's not selfish to rest," said Guest. "When you overcommit, you burn out, so it's okay to say no to anything that doesn't light you up. In reality, boundaries are one of the highest forms of self-respect." End With Gratitude: A daily gratitude practice doesn't have to be long, he said. "Name three things you're thankful for. It rewires your brain toward peace." Guest's insights align with National Wellness Month's mission to inspire proactive steps toward better health. "It's not about perfection, it's about participation," he said. "In reality, everyone deserves a life that feels good to live." As shared in All the Right Reasons, many of Guest's habits are rooted in real-life experiences, from boardroom presentations to backstage nerves. "I've stood at literal and figurative crossroads where anxiety almost beat me down," he said. "From my first performance at Grand Ol' Opry to presenting in front of a packed arena, I've felt the damage of negative self-talk, but I've learned that preparation, purpose, and small daily acts create confidence that lets you share your gifts confidently and lift others higher." More inspiring examples of learning from mistakes and living well are shared throughout All the Right Reasons, where all proceeds go to feeding hungry children. Each book purchase provides 40 meals.

USANA Executive Chairman Kevin Guest Invites All to Discover Freedom in July
SALT LAKE CITY, July 2, 2025 /CNW/ -- With freedom as a universal desire being celebrated this month, Kevin Guest, Executive Chairman of USANA Health Sciences (NYSE: USNA), is inspiring individuals and families to celebrate freedom on a personal level for self-care. Research reveals countless global celebrations honoring freedom—from America's Independence Day on July 4 to the unifying spirit of Canada Day on July 1 and numerous others around the world. "Freedom is more than a national observance; it's deeply personal, complex and transformational," said Guest, author of All the Right Reasons: 12 Timeless Principles for Living a Life in Harmony. "Even if freedom may feel out of reach, I invite everyone to take control of their own personal independence and live a life in harmony." To honor freedom in one's life, Guest lists five ways to break free and celebrate the possibilities. Release Limiting Beliefs:"Are you stuck in rigid narratives about what you can or cannot do? Rewrite them," he said. "Freedom flourishes when your belief system aligns with your true potential." Overcome Self-Doubt:"I've learned there is power in silencing the inner critic," Guest said. "To do so, recognize your achievements, no matter how small, and lean into your strengths. Confidence isn't a luxury; it's a necessity." Leave Toxic Relationships Behind:"Whether it's a friendship, partnership or professional connection, anything that drains your energy and stifles your growth needs to be booted. You deserve better," said Guest, who speaks to tens of thousands of associates around the world each year. Defeat Loneliness: Build bridges, not walls. "Surround yourself with people who celebrate your wins and uplift you when life gets you down. A strong network of supporters brings a solid sense of freedom," he said. Say Goodbye to Burnout and People-Pleasing:"Stop setting yourself on fire to keep others warm," said Guest. "It's vital to set boundaries, rest, and celebrate the freedom to prioritize yourself." In one example of negative self-talk, Guest was preparing to perform with Collin Raye's band at the Grand Ole Opry for the first time when his negative self-talk nearly immobilized him. "Standing backstage waiting for our turn to go on, I became increasingly anxious as I convinced myself these negative thoughts were true," Guest wrote in his bestseller. "My hands started shaking, and my mouth went dry. How was I supposed to play and sing? I couldn't remember the notes to the first song, let alone the others that followed. My stomach hurt and my confidence plummeted. All I could think was, 'You're going to screw this up!'" To his relief, he had a successful Grand Ole Opry performance and concluded, "Most of what we worry about never happens or is beyond our control." Simply put, worry hampers creativity, induces anxiety and destroys peace. "I have consistently found my grandfather's words to be true: if you are prepared, good things will happen," Guest said. These five actions above not only reflect personal empowerment but also embody the harmony Guest speaks of in his book. Freedom isn't granted; it's created. It's not something to wait for; it's something to own. "Global celebrations of freedom may vary, but the essence is the same," he said. "Freedom inspires joy, cultivates confidence and transforms lives. Begin today and champion your own independence." More inspiring examples of amplifying self-care are shared throughout All the Right Reasons, where all proceeds go to feeding hungry children. Each book purchase provides 40 meals.
