Staying up to date on wellness trends can be tough. What if you get sat next to an energy healer at a dinner party? What are you going to talk about? Raw milk is already sort of pass\u00e9<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ve got you covered. Here are the wellness trends everyone is discussing in 2025, and what you need to know about them.<\/p>\n

Down in the dumps? Try putting together a \u201cdopamine menu<\/a>\u201d \u2013 a list of activities designed to boost your mood. The term first popped up in 2020, and has since taken off on social media, with thousands of users sharing what they \u201corder\u201d when they feel low.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s helpful to think of a dopamine menu like a regular menu, Adrienne Matei explained, with \u201cstarters\u201d that take little time and effort, more substantial \u201cmains\u201d, and \u201csides\u201d that zest up the day.<\/p>\n

Matei spoke to several happiness experts about the items on their dopamine menus. These included giving people compliments, sitting in your favorite green space, cuddling with a loved one, and smashing objects to bits in a rage room. Whatever works for you!<\/p>\n

\u2018Let them<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year, millions of people realized they can\u2019t control the actions of others \u2013 no matter how desperately they might want to. At the end of 2024, podcaster and self-help guru Mel Robbins published a book called The Let Them Theory. Its central thesis was simple: if someone is doing something that bothers you, let them<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The book made a splash. It jumped to the top of bestseller lists. There were news articles and podcast episodes about the theory, and Oprah called it a \u201cgamechanger\u201d. People even got \u201cLet them\u201d tattoos.<\/p>\n

The theory was not without critics. Some claimed Robbins cribbed the idea from poet Cassie B Phillips, whose poem, Let Them, went viral in 2022. Others said the concept was obvious. But sometimes obvious advice is the most helpful. As one therapist said: \u201cIt\u2019s a reminder that it\u2019s OK to step back, let people be who they are, and stop carrying things that aren\u2019t ours to carry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Creatine<\/strong>\u2018Creatine is a naturally occurring compound that helps power short bursts of high-impact activities.\u2019 Photograph: Gabriel Soler Tomasella\/Alamy<\/p>\n

Strength training has been the darling<\/a> of the fitness world recently (deservedly<\/a> so), and as more people spend time moving heavy weights, there is an increasing demand for products and supplements that help maximize each lift. Enter creatine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Long a favorite supplement among athletes and fitness professionals, creatine is a naturally occurring compound that helps power short bursts of high-impact activities \u2013 think sprints or heavy lifts. Synthetic creatine is often sold as a white, flavorless powder that one can mix with water or juice (some influencers take it dry as a stunt, but experts strongly discourage this as it could lead to choking).<\/p>\n

Creatine is considered safe for most healthy adults. And while research doesn\u2019t fully support popular social media claims that creatine helps build muscle, it might do so indirectly by giving you more energy during intense workouts.<\/p>\n

Deep plane facelifts<\/strong>Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian arrive in Venice for Jeff Bezos\u2019s wedding to Lauren Sanchez on 25 June 2025. Photograph: Matteo Chinellato\/ipa-agency.net\/Shutterstock<\/p>\n

In May, Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner set the internet abuzz when she appeared at Lauren Sanchez\u2019s Paris bachelorette party with a face that looked remarkably smooth and taut. (Is that the most cursed sentence I\u2019ve ever typed? Who\u2019s to say.) Online, many speculated that her youthful appearance was the result of a deep plane facelift<\/a> \u2013 a technique that works with deeper layers of tissue than a traditional facelift. Searches for the term soared. (Jenner did not discuss or confirm any particular procedures.)<\/p>\n

Deep plane facelifts are pricey, because it is a more complex procedure, and also tends to last a few more years. They can set patients back anywhere from $30,000 to $100,000. By contrast, the average cost of a regular facelift in the US is about $11,395.<\/p>\n

Psyllium husk<\/strong>\u2018Psyllium husk has been touted by influencers as \u201cnature\u2019s Ozempic\u201d \u2013 a cheap, non-prescription alternative to GLP-1 medications.\u2019 Photograph: Boommaval Boommaval\/Getty Images<\/p>\n

Psyllium husk<\/a> has been touted by influencers as \u201cnature\u2019s Ozempic\u201d \u2013 a cheap, non-prescription alternative to GLP-1 medications. But this comparison is \u201coversimplified and misleading\u201d, warns Lena Beal, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Psyllium husk comes from the seed of a desert shrub, and is the leading ingredient in popular laxatives like Metamucil. When consumed with water, it\u2019s simply a good source of soluble fiber, and has been found to help lower levels of \u201cbad\u201d cholesterol, slow down digestion and increase satiety.<\/p>\n

If psyllium husk isn\u2019t your thing (some people don\u2019t enjoy the gloopy, gel-like texture it develops in water) don\u2019t fear. There are plenty of other good sources of fiber, like fruits, vegetables and legumes.<\/p>\n

Fibermaxxing<\/strong><\/p>\n

As protein mania reaches a fever pitch, consumers are already looking toward the next nutrition trend. According to some on social media, the future is all about \u201cfibermaxxing<\/a>\u201d \u2013 a trendy term for \u201ceating a lot of fiber\u201d. As one wellness influencer put it, fiber is \u201csuper cool\u201d. Indeed, one study found a fiber-rich diet can improve heart health and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and colorectal cancer. You could give psyllium husk a try \u2013 or just eat an apple.<\/p>\n
