Our goal is to inspire people to get up, get moving and enjoy what it means to live life on the up,' experiencing healthy balanced living through the lens of entertainment, Turner's specialty.

upwave.com is the first personalized health and wellness digital property of its kind, connecting the dots for users with individually tailored content linked to five core pillars:

Eat-incorporates all things nutrition, diet and recipes

upwave established its digital presence first with the release of a YouTube channel on August 5, 2013. The channel - which precedes the brand's television presence - serves up a fresh twist on traditional health content, such as fitness and recipe videos. It also delivers original episodes of series such as the hilarious and stealthily informative Why Do Men Have Nipples?
