From play-inspired relaxation and digital detoxes to pared-back skincare, mood foods, and a fresh perspective on weight wellness, we’re thrilled to see a focus on holistic wellbeing.
See what’s coming up in the wellness world for 2025 as our naturopath shares the top trends to watch — and what’s making its way into shopping baskets.
Ready? Let’s thrive in 2025. Cheesy? Yep. Sorry? A bit, but not really.
1. Play-based relaxation & digital detox
It’s all about ‘recreation for relaxation’. To improve sleep, mental wellness, and brain aging. Check out these fun activities that switch your nervous system into chill mode. Sleep like a baby, be cool as a cucumber and happy as a clam.
- Play based exercise: dancing, rain walks, tennis, pickleball – any movement you find fun is easy to make into a habit. You can also try combining your workout with music.
- Get creative & crafty - from cooking and colouring to pottery and painting. Enjoying art others have made also benefits mental wellness.
- Digital detox - getting busy in the real world helps make it easier. Make social apps less accessible by uninstalling them. You’ll free up time to fill with fun activities that boost endorphins and dopamine.

2. Pared-back natural skincare
Natural, plant-based, with few ingredients – and with plenty of research behind them for healthy-looking skin. Have sensitive skin? You can expect to see more formulas available to help care for it.
Rich in nutrients and antioxidants, these align perfectly with the K-beauty trend, where moisturised, nourished skin and a radiant complexion are the focus.

3. Protein & electrolytes – not just for athletes
I’m excited to see electrolytes and protein powder getting the spotlight. They deserve their time to shine. Great for supporting vibrant aging, they’re both everyday wellness essentials for me. Here’s why:
- Electrolytes help with hydration, which is key for joints, blood pressure, healthy detox, and mental focus. They help your body direct water to where it’s needed most.
- Protein provides the building blocks to create happy, calming hormones and to replenish skin and joints. It’s also awesome for weight wellness — keeping you feeling fuller for longer, all while being low in calories.
Sweet on nature, not on sugar. With our sugar policy - you won’t find any surprise sugars hidden in your supplements or protein powders.

4. Mood foods
Eating for a better mood? Right this way. We’re seeing more fortified foods and drinks popping up, aimed at brain and mood.
With the extra packaging and fancy price tag - we’re all for a DIY approach instead. Why not fortify your own meals, with nutrient dense options like Spirulina, Celtic Sea Salt, Protein powder and Functional Mushroom Powders – which are full of brain-loving B-complex vitamins, minerals, protein and phytonutrients?
And don’t forget about omega-3 fish oil — it’s getting a lot of attention for mood support. Hitting the recommended 2+ servings of oily fish (like salmon, mackerel, and mullet) each week can be tricky. That’s where supplements can help fill in the gaps.
What’s everyone buying?
Bestseller: Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega
- High quality (key with fish oil) & purity tested
- Take 2 daily and give it 6 weeks to build up in your body

5. Weight wellness & metabolic health
Next on the rise? Being mindful of our weight for health, not simply for aesthetics. It’s a holistic approach — focused on the benefits for both body and mind. Heart health, joint support, mental wellness, blood sugar balance, better sleep, and healthy aging (to name a few!) — weight wellness just makes sense, and we’re all in.

6. Vaginal microbiome
We love to see this all-important microbiome gaining mainstream attention. Special vaginal microflora (the "goodies") release anti-inflammatory compounds called postbiotics. These "goodies" also help crowd out the undesirables, keeping everything in balance.

- Top rated by our healthy community – with 4.6 stars from 174 reviews
