Advertising Information: An invitation to partner with us


Natural Solutions: Vibrant Health, Balanced Living (formerly Alternative Medicine magazine) has been the trusted voice in the natural health field for more than 15 years. When we started, complementary and integrative medicine was a relatively new concept, and we provided a magazine for consumers to navigate the information and abundant natural products available in the marketplace.

Our parent company, InnoVision Health Media, is the only media company with access to both consumers and professionals—through three peer-reviewed medical journals—in the integrative health market. As a result, Natural Solutions’ content delivers the industry’s most credible and in-depth information.

Beginning with the February 2008 issue, Alternative Medicine is now Natural Solutions: Vibrant Health, Balanced Living, a name that better reflects our content and our connection to our readers. We focus on health in all aspects of one’s life—food, beauty, family, pets, home, and much more. Consumers have embraced this lifestyle, and our content has expanded to reflect their commitment. Our new name allows us to reach this growing base of consumers, solidifying our status as the clear leaders in the natural-health movement.

We encourage you to join us in-print, online or in the many other value-added programs that can promote your products and services. Contact your sales representative today!
