AS 2025 unfolds, the wellness landscape continues to evolve, blending cutting-edge technology with a renewed appreciation for traditional wisdom. This year, the focus is shifting towards personalised, sustainable, and mindful approaches to health.

Here are five key trends shaping well-being in the year ahead:

1. The rise of personalised healthcare

Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all healthcare. We’re now in the era of customised medicine, where treatments are meticulously tailored to individual needs. Advances in genomics, data analytics, and wearable technology are driving this shift. From genetic testing that reveals predispositions to certain diseases to microbiome analysis that optimises gut health, people are taking control of their well-being with remarkable precision. This personalised approach promises more effective treatments, reduced side effects, and ultimately, better health outcomes.

Try it: Consider genetic testing to assess potential health risks, consult a nutritionist for a tailored food plan, and track your health data with a wearable device to identify areas for improvement.

2. AI-powered wellness solutions

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare, making personalised wellness more accessible and affordable. AI-powered fitness coaches, nutrition advisors, mental health chatbots, and virtual reality therapy platforms are revolutionising self-care.

Try it: Explore AI-powered health apps offering customised fitness plans, meditation guides, and sleep tracking. Use AI tools for symptom checking but always seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional for serious concerns

3. Sustainable self-care for a greener future

Sustainability is no longer just a trend – it has become integral to well-being. Eco-friendly self-care practices, such as choosing organic and locally sourced foods, using refillable beauty products, and minimising plastic waste, are gaining traction.

Try it: Opt for sustainable products like bamboo toothbrushes, reusable water bottles, and ecofriendly cleaning supplies. Support local businesses and farmers’ markets whenever possible.

4. The mind-body connection takes centre stage

The connection between mental and physical health is in the spotlight more than ever. Mindfulness, meditation, yoga, acupuncture, and Ayurveda continue to grow in popularity for their ability to reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance overall well-being.

Try it: Start your day with mindful breathing or meditation. Consider keeping a gratitude journal. Take short movement breaks throughout the day. Explore complementary therapies such as acupuncture or Ayurveda to support both mental and physical health.

5. The pursuit of longevity and a healthier life span

Longevity is no longer just a dream, it’s a goal many are pursuing. This year, more people are focusing on extending their health span – the years spent free from chronic illness. Cellular therapies, gene editing, intermittent fasting, and cold therapy are among the methods gaining attention.

Try it: Prioritise regular exercise, a balanced diet, and quality sleep. Manage stress by spending time in nature, engaging in hobbies, and nurturing social connections – away from screens.

In 2025, well-being is all about what works for you. Whether embracing cutting-edge technology or rediscovering ancient practices, the key is to find a personalised approach that supports your unique health goals. I wish you a happy and healthy 2025.

Key points

  • A new Covid strain known as Stratus is spreading across the UK
  • The variant is marked by a distinctive symptom: a hoarse or raspy voice
  • Sub-variants XFG and XFG.3 now account for 30% of cases in England

Covid variant Stratus on the rise in the UK

A new strain of Covid-19, known as Stratus, is spreading across the UK and drawing attention for its unusual symptom — a hoarse or raspy voice. According to data from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), Stratus and its two sub-variants, XFG and XFG.3, are responsible for around 30 per cent of Covid cases in England.

Of the two, XFG.3 is currently the more dominant. The UKHSA confirmed that monitoring of all circulating Covid-19 variants is ongoing as part of regular surveillance.

Human brain continues forming neurons

Human brain continues forming neurons well into old age, study finds

Key points

  • New neurons continue forming in the brain’s hippocampus into old age
  • Study confirms presence of neural progenitor cells in adults
  • DNA carbon dating and single-nucleus RNA sequencing were used
  • Research shows variation in neuron production between individuals
  • Findings could aid treatments for neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders

Human brain shows ongoing neuron formation into older age

A new study has confirmed that the human brain continues to produce new nerve cells well into late adulthood, challenging previous assumptions about age-related decline in neurogenesis. The findings, published in the journal Science, provide fresh insight into how adaptable the brain remains over a lifetime.

Neurogenesis, the process by which new neurons form in the brain, is known to occur in the hippocampus — a region involved in memory. While previous research has suggested that this process continues throughout life, there has been limited concrete evidence of the presence of neural progenitor cells in the adult brain.

Study warns of rising uterine cancer rates, with Black women hardest hit

Key points

  • Uterine cancer cases and deaths are projected to rise significantly in the US by 2050.
  • Black women are expected to experience the highest increase in incidence-based mortality.
  • A new model predicts incidence rising to 86.9 cases per 100,000 for Black women and 74.2 for White women.
  • Researchers stress the urgent need for improved prevention and early detection strategies.

Sharp increase in uterine cancer predicted over next three decades

Uterine cancer, currently the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the United States, is projected to see a substantial rise in both cases and deaths by 2050, particularly among Black women. A new study led by researchers at Columbia University warns of worsening racial disparities in outcomes if preventative measures are not introduced.

This year alone, around 69,120 new cases of uterine cancer and nearly 14,000 deaths are expected in the United States. However, projections by the Columbia University research team, published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, indicate a significant increase in both incidence and mortality over the next 30 years.
