- Augmented biology is blending body and machine to optimize the brain and physical wellness.
- Trust issues around the supplement market is being offset by science-grounded and high-tech investments.
- Teen wellness has come center stage as concerns about mental health and addiction grow.
- The global water crisis is driving the spa industry to take the preservation and renewal of water supplies more seriously.
- Longevity is now a key focus as consumers are being forced by external pressures to remain in the workforce longer.
