It’s Winter! The clocks and changed and it’s Halloween this Friday.

As we reflect on the past year – what are the Key wellness trends for 2025? THE focus on longevity and “living longer,” with personalized and technology-driven approaches like AI-powered treatments and augmented biology. There’s a continued emphasis on holistic health, which expands beyond traditional fitness and nutrition to include mental wellness, sleep, and social connection. Additionally, analogue wellness is gaining traction, prioritizing low-tech, real-world experiences like wellness tourism and disconnecting from technology.  Tech-driven wellness 

  • AI and augmented biology: Using artificial intelligence for personalized diets, exercise plans, and health treatments. 
  • Biohacking: Focusing on optimizing health through a combination of personalized nutrition, technology, and habit-building strategies to improve focus, longevity, and immunity. 
  • Digital home monitoring: Widespread adoption of digital tools for monitoring health at home. 

Holistic and preventative health

Low-tech and analogue wellness 

  • Analogue wellness: Embracing pre-digital experiences like wellness tourism, which involves traveling with the sole purpose of self-care, and disconnecting from technology to engage in real-world activities. 
  • “Slow is the new fast”: A movement towards work-life balance and prioritizing mental and physical well-being over the constant hustle. 
  • Play-based exercise: Incorporating joy and playfulness into fitness routines, such as with activities like trampoline jumping or multi-sensorial workouts. 

Nutrition and supplements 

  • Seasonal and local eating: Focusing on seasonal produce and farm-to-table eating to ensure freshness and support local farmers. 
  • Specific supplements: A surge in popularity for certain supplements, such as lion’s mane mushroom for focus and cognitive function.
