Herbalife Philippines Celebrates 30 Years of Nutrition Excellence with New Family Health Campaign

Herbalife Philippines marked a historic milestone as it celebrated three decades of empowering Filipino families with nutrition and wellness solutions with the launch of its latest initiative, the “Healthier Together” campaign.


Speaking to members of the media, Allan Domingo, General Manager of Herbalife Philippines, underscored Herbalife’s unwavering commitment to improving the health and wellness of Filipino families.  



“For three decades, Herbalife has worked tirelessly to support Filipino families in living healthier, more active lives. Our “Healthier Together” campaign reflects our understanding that the foundation of a healthy society begins with the habits and choices we cultivate within our homes,” emphasized Domingo. 


The campaign underscores Herbalife’s mission to empower families by equipping them with the tools and education necessary to build lasting healthy habits. It features a series of programs such as wellness tours, educational workshops, and quarterly community events designed to inspire active and healthy living across the Philippines.


Also present at the campaign launch was Dr Rocio Media Badiano, Vice Chair and Member of the Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board, an expert in clinical nutrition and obesity. Dr Badiano discussed the crucial role families play in fostering healthy habits at home, supported by the latest research on family nutrition. She also shared practical, actionable tips to help families incorporate balanced nutrition into their daily routines. 



“Approximately one third (33.4%) of Filipino households struggle to afford a healthy diet
. Busy schedules make it difficult for working parents to prepare healthy meals, forcing them to rely on processed foods to feed their families. This reliance on processed foods leads to higher rates of obesity. This is why it is important to promote balanced nutrition and healthier living in family units so we can create positive environments to support their health goals,” highlighted Dr. Badiano.


The “Healthier Together” campaign launch coincided with Herbalife Spectacular, the company’s annual kickoff event that offers high level training to all Members to learn and start the year off strong.


At the event, Herbalife also introduced celebrity couple Joyce Pring and Juancho Trivino as their newest brand ambassadors for the campaign. The couple is a prominent advocate for holistic lifestyles in their family. Their authenticity inspires thousands of Filipinos to foster family values and live balanced lives


“We are happy to welcome Joyce and Juancho to the Herbalife family. Their family embodies the importance of fostering family values, and the importance of incorporating healthy practices into their everyday lives. They embody the values of health, balance, and positivity, inspiring Filipinos to prioritize health and well-being in their everyday lives,” added Domingo. 


The evening portion of Herbalife Spectacular welcomed a broader audience to the “Herbalife Experience”, featuring interactive wellness booths, inspiring user stories, and a vibrant concert. The event showcased Herbalife’s legacy of innovation and leadership in nutrition science.
