Our Story
Our Story
It started with a question nobody could answer
Eco Your Way grew from a question its founder kept coming back to: with so much advice about what to change, where do I actually begin?
That question became the foundation for the NERS Framework and, later, ECO Wellness.
Where it began
For years, Nadine Josephs lived with irregular, heavy and prolonged periods. After multiple pelvic and abdominal ultrasounds, she learned she was dealing with polycystic ovary syndrome, hypermenorrhea, anemia and uterine fibroids.
Those experiences reached far beyond her menstrual cycle. They affected her energy, comfort, confidence and how she moved through an ordinary week.
There was no shortage of advice. Eat differently. Exercise more. Sleep better. Manage stress. Each suggestion focused on one part of wellbeing, but Nadine still needed help understanding how the pieces worked together and where to begin.
“I was not short of information. I was short of a place to begin.”
Nadine Josephs, PhD
Eco Your Way was created to help close that gap.
The Method
Four areas considered together
The NERS Framework brings Nutrition, Exercise, Rest and Stress Management together. Instead of treating them as four unrelated projects, it helps women see how one area may affect another and choose a place to begin without changing everything at once.
Exercise
Movement that can be adjusted to your energy, ability and stage of life.
Rest
Sleep, recovery and the pauses your body and mind need throughout the day.
Stress Management
Ways to reduce pressure and support habits during demanding seasons.
Poor sleep may make movement harder. Stress may affect rest and eating habits. Low energy may change what feels possible that day. The four NERS pillars work together, but the most helpful starting point will not be the same for every woman.
The Program
How the NERS Framework became ECO Wellness
Nadine did not create ECO Wellness to give women another list of rules. She created it as a wellbeing program built around the NERS Framework, bringing together education, private action and ongoing support so women can understand what may matter for them and decide what to focus on next.
Understand the why
ECO Wellness Collections
Each Collection focuses on a particular health concern, goal or life stage. It explains the “why” and shows how Nutrition, Exercise, Rest and Stress Management relate to that experience.

Behind the work
Lived experience, research and specialized training
Nadine brings together personal experience, healthcare research and specialized hormonal wellbeing training. That combination shapes educational resources that explain the NERS Framework while staying clear about the limits of lifestyle guidance.
ECO Wellness does not diagnose or treat medical conditions. It does not promise a particular outcome or ask women to follow restrictive plans. The Collections include guidance on when a symptom should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider, and health-related figures are attributed to their published sources.
What guides us

- We are clear about when professional medical care is needed.
- We respect that every woman may need a different place to begin.
About the name
Eco Your Way began as a sustainability business, which is where the name first came from. Over time, the work followed the questions women in the community were asking, and hormonal wellbeing became the focus.
The commitment to caring for people and community did not disappear. Eco Your Way has supported tree planting, produce donations and women experiencing period poverty.
Today, the name also reflects a simple belief: wellbeing should not require becoming someone else. You can learn, begin and grow in your own way.
