Natural Life Foods Professionals

Time after time, Alexi has given me and my family great advice for health issues.

Brian is always good about helping me find the products I need when I visit. Of course, I am there often enough he probably can’t forget me! Natural Life Foods has what I need and answers my questions when I have them. I highly recommend.

The best place in town to get all good food, plus a lot of other natural stuffs !
Thank you Alex !

Alex is great Very friendly and knowledgeable. really like the strike first
new favorite shop.

Great service, selection and price. Would give 6 stars if possible.

The best boutique health food store ever.
Alex is a brilliant Naturopath and has an awesome supply of every supplement to maximize your health. Dale

So I have fallen on hard times and as a consequence stress has taken its toll on my body thus needing probiotics and other natural supplements to keep me running. Since I am tight on money, I was finding a place that offered great selection, was reasonably priced, and had knowledgeable staff. Enter Alex, the owner…
Alex had me at «What price DO YOU WANT TO PAY» when I asked him how much a certain product was. Alex’s store is the human Amazon (the vitamin/​natural food section of Amazon). His store is the brick and mortar version of
. In short, his store is absolutely incredibe. It is literally beyond me why he doesn’t put GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, and Vitamin Adventure out of business. He has a massive inventory of anything you could possibly think of and if for the weird chance he doesn’t he’ll order it for you.
He’s incredibly knowledgeable, empathetic, and an overall stellar human being. He will price match ANYONE without any problem. He is truly genuine and cares for his customer’s well being which I find awesome.
I highly recommend Natural Life Foods to anyone! The customer serice is UNBEATABLE and Alex (and this staff) are just pleasant to interact with.
I really hope more people discover this gem in Pleasant Hill because I drive from Fairfield and I find it so worth it!

I have only been here twice and I was surprised by how great the customer service was. He did not want to only sell me the product, but gave me a lot of advice. I would definitely recommend this place. The prices are good, the service is great, and you know I’ll be back!

I love this place! I get everything I need.

Cinnamon 6 for my diabetes, which I am so close to being diabetes free… yay!
They also have a great deal of vegetairan food to buy.
Everyone there is always very helpful, just ask!

My husband and I drove from Sacramento to Natural Life Foods. I am an avid Sprouts and Whole Foods shopper and was here for a specific item. First, we got lost and the staff, two really nice guys, helped me by checking for the item and then my husband get to the store when we got lost. The plan was to run in and run out. Not possible! This place is way more awesome and amazing than Sprout’s and Whole Foods combined! Totally going to find a reason to make the drive back here as often as possible!!!
PS the prices are better also!

I used to shop at vitamin adv. in P.H.
I’ve been going to natural life foods for over 16 years and they will beat any price for sure.
If you love a product just ask if they could get, that easy.

Today I came here to replenish my prenatal /​postnatal vitamins (I usually go to Harvest House or Sprouts).
I have to say that I like this shop waaayy better! It’s smaller and more concise, and therefore easier to navigate.
The man I spoke with really knew his stuff, and exactly where to find it. Everything from my prenatals to powdered vitamin C (Emergen-​C) as well as homeopathic infant teething tablets… he expertly guided me to each item and explained the benefits, best brand, differences between them, etc.
Perfect little shop :)

I actually discovered NLF in my search for raw milk earlier this year. The guys are always friendly and will answer any questions I’ve ever asked. I’m so glad they are fairly close to work so I can drop buy after work. They are definitely a shop I’ll return to my go to for supplements and any related questions.

I have been shopping at natural life foods for a few years! Alex is very easy to deal with, always answers my questions, and even special orders items he doesn’t have in stock! I’ve sent my family to the store, and everyone has been happy with the service and prices!
I support locally owned small business, and this is one of the best. They are sometimes very busy, but I always get what I need with no issues.

It is said that it only take three seconds during a first encounter to evaluate a person. In that short period of time an individual forms an opinion based on appearance, body language, demeanor and mannerisms. It’s also stated that these first impressions can be nearly impossible to reverse. Whether prejudging someone is a survival mechanism or fault in humanities ability to trust, it is important to always present yourself appropriately. The representatives at Natural Life Food not only have a great understanding of first impressions they are also very knowledgeable. My obsession with home remedies and eastern medicine brought me Natural Life Food. Not only did they answer my biological questions they also helped me better understand the products. Unfortunately the store did not carry the product I needed, but such is life. I thanked the representatives and continued with my search. I stepped away from Natural Life Food’s with a very positive impression. Although I didn’t purchase anything during my visit, I will not hesitate to visit their store next time I need a natural alternative.

Not only are they extremely knowledgeable and friendly, but they will explain how to use a product without a snotty know-​it-​all attitude… and my favorite part… THEY WILL BEAT ANY PRICE… god knows you cant beat that!

Fabulous experience all around.
I came in with the deer-​in-​the-​headlight look, not knowing where to start. I needed a metabolic booster for my daily workouts, but I had no clue where to start. Should I focus on weight loss, dietary supplements, recovery drinks? All of them? Totally clueless.
Alexey, the store owner helped me right away, asking questions and making recommendations. I was surprised at how knowledgeable he is with all of his in store products and educating me about each of the supplements, how they worked, and what the benefits were. In the end, I got a really great deal. Natural Life Foods price match & a website for you to shop at home.
The store also offers variety of gluten free products, cereal, tea, ice cream, chips, granola bars, chocolates, and MORE… (hair products, skin care, homeopathic, etc…) list goes on and on… you must visit the store and experience it for yourself.

Alex and Bryan are well educated on all of their products. They will go well above and beyond any other store to find and/​or order the product you need. The store continues to improve and introduce me to so many new products. These guys know their stuff and if they don’t they find out.
Woo Hoo these guys at Natural Life are as good as it gets!

If you are thinking that all natural foods stores have a super-​high mark-​up, think again. I priced Authentic Foods Brown Rice Superfine Flour on the Authentic Foods website and it is $ 12.49 plus shipping. At Natural Life Foods it is around $ 11.00. And you get to chat with their wonderful staff, so what could be better?

I don’t write a lot of reviews, but I thought it was worth writing one for this place, as it has several items that you can’t find in normal stores.
From the name of this place, it sounds like one of those hippy, totally organic, everything is vegan/​vegetarian, gluten/​wheat/​TASTE free shops. And anyone that knows me will attest to the fact that I’m the type of person who will literally pick up and eat the totally caged (with no room to spread its wings), tortured remains of the chicken that I bought at Food Maxx that I accidentally dropped on my carpet.
However, although I don’t always have the funds to buy the highest quality foods *ahem* I generally do watch what I eat, and I do exercise regularly, so there are certain items that a GNC or my local supermarket can’t provide.
Ezekiel bread (this is the only bread I buy), protein shakes, BCAAs, fish oils, herbal lozenges, various bins of real trail mix (not Planters, folks), and some other random healthy stuff make it totally worth the walk across the street from my work. Yes, even if I have to share the aisles with a vegen or vegetarian. (Ew… I know).
One small gripe is that I wish they had a larger selection of protein shakes, like products from Biotest or Pro/​Grade, but it’s a minor gripe, and I usually order those online anyways.
**For reading through this review, here’s a health tip — freeze your bread, and always toast your frozen bread. It reduces the glycemic effect the carbs have on your blood sugar. 25% reduced for regular bread that is toasted, 39% reduced for frozen bread that was toasted!**
