UNION
Everyone has an expertise to share. We bring together experts and non-experts to co-create an inclusive, collaborative and concrete vision of health and well-being.
NUANCE + HOLISM
White, black... We prefer to venture into the contrasts and gray areas. We explore the whole spectrum without choosing sides. Health is a whole and well-being a scope, not a box to tick.
AUTONOMY
You are the main character of your health and well-being. So we give you options, not constraints. We support you one small step at a time and let you go at your own pace.
AUDACITY
We're outspoken, sometimes spicy, but always refreshing. We dare to have real conversations, even difficult ones. We embrace complexity and nuance.

“We wanted a space where science and experience meet.”
Bonne Dose was born of an observation (+a small dose of indignation): Health education is essential, but too often cold, risk-oriented and not always aligned with real life. We wanted a more lively, inclusive, customizable and practical alternative. An alternative that celebrates the beautiful complexity and diversity of human beings.
Karine-Michèle, the instigator of the project, has been a public health researcher since 2020. It was her personal experience and the current state of thing that fueled her desire to act - as well as many meaningful conversations. A multitude of passionate people have been supporting Bonne Dose, from near and far, since 2023 (and long before that). Enthusiasts from all horizons: health and wellness experts, creatives and committed human beings.
What unites us? The deep conviction that health information can be nuanced, engaging and enjoyable. Because health isn't just about illness and pills. It's a complete, evolving and collective experience. It's an ongoing relationship and conversation with ourselves and others.
our HISTORy
WHY IT existS ?
55% of Canadians claim they don't feel confident in recognizing or communicating how they feel, nor taking action to maintain or improve their health and well-being.
THE REASONS FOR THIS ARE COMPLEX
Health information should be accessible, simple and customizable.
Not understanding what's happening to us, not having the words to express what we're feeling, not knowing how to handle a difficult or uncomfortable situation, it's not nice, we've all been there.
Health and well-being is a precious resource, alive and personal to each and every one of us. We deserve better. It's time to change the dynamics, and that starts with understanding ourselves better.
[Dis] informations and solicitations
Navigating health and wellness informations has never been more stressful. Contradictory data and discourse, dubious sources, miracle promises, costly solutions. Who can you trust? How can you protect yourself?
Reaching 5.6 B$ worth in 2022
Many offers are often costly, and often produce little satisfactory results, because they tackle the symptoms rather than the problem. They often fragment health and reduce it to good sales pitch.
More products, more sick people ?
At a time when people are more interested in their health and well-being than ever before, the demand for health care is exceeding available resources, placing a significant burden on society as a whole.
We value curative approaches
50-60% of current health problems are linked to lifestyle habits, and to people's physical and social environment. Often, these are complex chronic problems that could have been avoided by simple preventive measures.
