What are the top health trends to look out for in 2025?

Americans predict that cutting out processed foods, healthy aging, and improving gut health will be the top three health trends in 2025, according to a recent study. The survey of 2,000 Americans unpacked their health trends forecast, wellness resolutions, average health rating, and the emotions woven throughout it all. Respondents predicted that Americans will cut processed foods out of their diets (34%), pursue more healthy aging activities (33%), and work to improve their gut health and digestion (22%) more than ever in the new year.They also believe we’ll see more integration of wearable technology (22%) and artificial intelligence (21%) into healthcare along with taking a functional approach to health becoming more popular (20%). Conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Pendulum, the study found that Americans rate their holistic health as only a 6/10, on average. Nearly a third (31%) would trade using social media for a year to feel 100% better physically and 64% struggle to stay awake during the day.Seeing how this ties into their wellness goals, most (90%) have a health-related resolution in 2025.Fifty-three percent of those want to workout more, 49% are looking to maintain a healthy weight, and 29% are aiming to get outdoors more often.Twenty-six percent simply want to hit the hay earlier and more than a quarter (26%) will be working to improve their digestion and gut health.“The research shows that Americans are more aware than ever that a refreshed, holistic approach to health is the way forward,” said Dr.Adam Perlman, chief medical officer at Pendulum and former medical director for integrative health and wellbeing at Mayo Clinic.
