| | | | | In 2026, I believe that there will be an emphasis on health optimization for longevity. I noticed an increase in articles on this topic last year, and the release of new documentaries, social experiments, and brands focusing on it. It's already a hot topic, but I predict that research will continue to expand in terms of supplementation, medications, and diet and lifestyle habits to support your health and potentially boost your life span. | | Keep reading to see what the rest of the Healthline team predicts we'll see more of this year! | | | | | | | To the future!

| |  | | | | What do we expect to see more of in 2026? | | "I think fiber is going to be the new high protein diet. People still love their protein, but I think fiber is going to join the conversation more since it's linked to gut health, and gut health rules all." — Catherine Conelly, commerce editor | | "I don't want to be overly negative here, but excessively restrictive dieting and negative self-talk seem to be getting increasingly normalized on both social media and the broader media. There appears to be an increased pressure to look a certain way, and this may not always be healthy or sustainable for everyone! I say this not to be pessimistic, but to remind everyone to be vigilant — it's easy to slip into this kind of content and accept it as normal and OK. Listen to your doctor and do what's best for you, not some random influencer!" — Sarah Choi, associate editor | | "Male birth control! Last year, I saw more conversation around potential options for people with male anatomy, especially about early trials with positive results. I know it takes years after testing for products to make it to the market (clinical trials, FDA approval, etc.), but I'm hopeful we'll hear more about it in 2026." — Sarah Matysiak, associate editor | | "With Bezzy, of course, I'm always looking at the chronic condition space. POTS, as a diagnosis, is seeing a sharp increase. I expect to continue to see wellness items marketed to this community — electrolytes, trackers, compression garments." — Sara McTigue, senior editor | | "Mitochondrial health: A growing realization that many chronic conditions and even day-to-day feelings of weakness, tiredness, brain fog, etc., have their roots in how well the long-term microbiological guests in every cell are able to turn food into energy. | | "Peptides: A few are already breaking into the mainstream, and there's a subculture of people experimenting with them. Some of it is hype, some of it is not. I look forward to us assessing the evidence in 2026 and beyond. | | "AI self-diagnosis and patient empowerment: Like it or not, people are successfully diagnosing themselves after being misdiagnosed by doctors. | | "Light and health: Another growing realization that certain wavelengths of light have physiological effects. I've covered this in a couple of Wellness Wires recently. I believe there's more to explore." — Tim Snaith, newsletter editor | | "I think there will be many people looking for ways to adopt a more analog lifestyle in 2026. Some of us over a certain age are craving a return to it, and some are looking to experience it for the first time. We've been overtaken by the infinite scroll to the point of burnout and reclaiming our attention will be a key component in self-care going forward." — Naomi Wilde, editor | | 🌟 Over to you: What are your 2026 health and wellness predictions?
