We cater for Asian lifestyles and cultures with credible content, guidance and tools created by the best wellness experts, to help communities in Asia overcome their health issues and live a better quality of life.

PurelyB Worldwide Users

 

Our long-term vision is to invigorate Asia, improve the quality of life of many and empower sustainable holistic lifestyle change.

What We Do

The Problem

Health complications (e.g. obesity, diabetes and chronic illnesses) are increasing exponentially in Asia,  as a result of unhealthy lifestyles and environments. Malaysia in itself has the highest obesity rate in the region, with every 1 in 2 Malaysians suffering from obesity.

Over 200 million diabetics reside in Asia, or 60% of the world’s diabetic population. These alarming statistics have prompted the need for more natural health solutions and alternatives in treatment and prevention. However, there is lack of awareness, guidance and support towards helping users overcome their health struggles long-term through natural remedies and holistic lifestyle change.

Furthermore, a lot of the health portals available today are only catered to western markets offering solutions that are not relevant or accessible to people in Asia.


Our Solution

Enter PurelyB, a trusted and localised media platform and guide for wellness in Asia. Created by our team of health experts and powered by a community of contributors, our platform is intended to aid, heal, and promote prevention and wellbeing - the natural way. We provide guidance and support by helping people overcome their health issues with solutions customised to their local cultures and lifestyles.

Our key features include:

  • Free educational, inspirational wellness content localized to Asia on nutrition, fitness, wellness, mindfulness.
  • 3-12 week customized programmes with video coaching from experts (including recipes, tracker, podcasts) to guide in overcoming health issues naturally & sustainably
  • Live webinars and on-ground wellness events: Interact live with the experts and community members with guided nutrition, fitness & mindfulness sessions
  • Online subscription for an extensive library of holistic wellness videos and programmes

Why Are We Different

Crafted by Trusted Industry Leaders, Catered to Asian Markets

Our content and programmes are localised and catered to Asian lifestyles, cultures and mindsets, and are available in both English and Chinese. Our competitors are focused primarily on Western markets and produce content that is not particularly relevant to people in Asia.

We offer members peace of mind and assurance. PurelyB is a trusted and credible brand in Asia created by and in partnership with pioneering experts in the wellness industry. Every piece of content is carefully crafted and curated to put forth only the highest quality programmes from credible leaders, with proven results.

Unlike most generic health and fitness online portals, we focus on holistic wellness solutions for healing and prevention, to help you and your family improve your quality of life in the long-term. This includes providing a combination of physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing guidance, addressing specific health challenges in the region such as  obesity, diabetes, eczema, allergies and more - NATURALLY.

Our Market Opportunity

Fueling the Next Stage of the Wellness Revolution

 

Market Sizing

 

An estimated 100 million people in Asia suffer from health issues such as diabetes, obesity, allergies and skin conditions (e.g. eczema) and want to improve their health and better their lifestyles.

Another estimated 40 million (40%) of these people are health conscious individuals and are mostly based in urban areas of SouthEast Asia, falling within the upper-middle class income brackets. This population of people have the ability to spend more on their health choices and decisions in making positive and impactful lifestyle changes.
