I love talking about wellness. Not because I get up every day at 5 a.m. to do all the things someone who loves to talk about wellness might do, like exercise, journal, and meditate. As many times as I have tried, I would rather sleep. Wellness looks different for everyone. As we step into 2025, the concept of wellness has evolved to encompass a holistic approach to health, integrating physical, mental, financial, spiritual, and social well-being. It is very personal and very connected to so many other things. Understanding and embracing these trends is crucial to meeting the needs of today’s patients and staying ahead in a competitive market. 

Wellness today is defined as the active pursuit of activities, choices, and lifestyles that lead to a state of holistic health. It goes beyond the absence of illness, emphasizing proactive measures to enhance overall well-being. This includes maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, emotional stability, stress management, and fostering positive relationships. It also includes understanding how all these factors impact your health, your future, and what resources are available to help. I find it difficult to find singular sources for my own personal wellness journey. My journey takes me down many rabbit holes, and I usually end up trying to figure things out on my own. I am positive I am not alone. 

The wellness market in the United States is experiencing robust growth. In 2024, the market size reached approximately $939 billion, and it is expected to grow to $1,560 billion by 2033, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. This growth is driven by increasing consumer demand for personalized wellness solutions, preventive healthcare, and holistic lifestyle choices. 

Wellness is intrinsically linked to chronic disease management and sleep. Effective wellness programs can help manage and prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. Sleep optimization is another critical component of wellness. Poor sleep is associated with a higher risk of chronic diseases, including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. I know some people who might know something about all of this. 

We recently re-structured our membership groups, and wellness is part of our long-term strategy at VGM. Stay tuned as we delve deeper into these trends and explore strategies to integrate wellness into your services, ensuring you remain at the forefront of this dynamic and growing field.
