It’s always been the playground of the rich and famous, but Beverly Hills, California now is focusing on a new kind of ‘wellth’ – that of health and wellness.

‘Wellthy’ meals are also available at a number of restaurants in the city, showcasing specials that fall under one or more criteria of locally sourced, plant-based, vegan, paleo or using meat that is grass-fed or hormone-free.
Travellers will also be able to find out their ‘902IQ’ (a play on the area’s post code) through a fun online quiz, where they can check their ‘wellthy’ lifestyle score and learn how to improve it through different experiences in Beverly Hills.
The campaign includes focusing on pillars of ‘wellth,’ including Move, Eat, Restore, show Gratitude and explore Experiences. Pillar representatives include Caley Alyssa (Move), founder of Alo Yoga; plant-based chef and best-selling author Matthew Kenney (Eat); Feng Shui expert Dana Claudat (Restore); Bodyism founder James Duigan (Gratitude); and meditation teacher Charlie Knoles (Explore).
