Living360’s annual health report shines a light on the trends set to shape wellness in 2026  

APL Media’s online wellness brand Living360 has released its annual Living360 Health Report 2026, providing a definitive guide to the trends set to shape wellness in the year ahead. Drawing on industry research, expert insight and reader data, the report explores key developments across four categories — wellness, fitness, nutrition and products — highlighting a shift towards community-led wellbeing, more sustainable approaches to movement, a growing move away from ultra-processed foods and the rise of personalised, at-home health solutions. 

Key highlights from the Living360 Health Report 2026 

  • Wellbeing becomes collective: Health in 2026 is shaped by a renewed focus on community, with shared experiences and connection playing a central role in overall wellbeing. 
  • A more considered relationship with technology: While digital fatigue grows, consumers continue to adopt purposeful technology that supports sleep, stress management and daily health. 
  • Sustainable fitness for longevity: Moderate movement, mobility and strength training are prioritised as long-term approaches to maintaining health and function. 
  • A decisive shift away from ultra-processed foods: Growing awareness and regulation accelerate the return to whole, minimally processed foods. 
  • Personalised, hormone-aware nutrition: Tailored nutrition moves into the mainstream, influencing how people eat to support long-term health at every life stage. 
  • At-home health solutions rise: Wearable devices and AI-led products enable individuals to monitor and manage their health from home. 

Whether you’re a wellness professional or just someone who takes their health seriously, you’ll want to find out more with this report. It comprises the essential insights you need to make informed choices, anticipate cultural shifts and stay ahead in the ever-evolving wellness landscape. 

Katie Sipp-Hurley, health editor at Living360, said: “While the report is by no means an instruction manual, its aim is to inform and encourage readers to take control of their health and keep them in the know.” 

Anna Evdokimou, editor of Living30, added: “I’m so proud to see our second annual health report go out into the world. Living360 is at the forefront of health and wellness — and it’s great to see those in the industry recognise this and seek our insight for what’s to come.”
