All certain it's healthy (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wholesome

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'healthy' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)

'all certain' is the wordplay.
'all' becomes 'whole' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'certain' becomes 'some' (synonyms).
'whole'+'some'='WHOLESOME'

'it's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wholesome that I've seen before include "Moral" , "Previously propitious" , "Healthy in body, taste or morals" , "Beneficial" , "Good for you!" .)
