Until recently, few people had heard of Bryan Johnson, a tech entrepreneur from Provo, Utah, though the odds are high he had helped them spend their money without them knowing it. Johnson made a fortune after his e-payment company Braintree bought Venmo in 2012 for about $26 million and then sold it a year later to eBay for about $800 million, fulfilling a goal he set for himself at age 21 and making him rich enough for several lifetimes.“Following the acquisition, a single question mattered to me,” Johnson wrote in 2018, at 40 years old. “How do we collectively thrive beyond what we can even imagine?” At the time Johnson looked not unlike a stock image for a middle-aged white American male.When Johnson reemerged in the public this year to promote a new wellness start-up, Blueprint, something was different. His skin had a vampiric perfection, pulled snare-drum taut against his cheekbones. He looked both jacked and androgynous. His once greying hair was now auburn.Johnson had claimed to shave two decades off of his biological age using techniques both mundane — diet, exercise, supplements — and macabre — exchanging blood plasma with his son and father.Beauty companies have endeavoured to create an “anti-aging” market for centuries. Now, in the truest sense of the term, that market, now dubbed “longevity,” may be here — and opening for business. Prices start at $99 for a subscription to a topical supplement from OneSkin, and well into seven figures, if you’re someone with Johnson’s means looking for the full Benjamin Button, courtesy of far-flung health spas and exhaustive testing panels.Pay to StayThe nascent longevity market broadly describes goods and services provided with the aim of helping people age better, although it’s difficult to disentangle this from other massive economies spanning from comorbidity medicines like metformin to financial planning to at-home genetic testing. Some investors have to draw finer lines, says Eurie Kim, a managing partner at Forerunner Ventures. Forerunner’s longevity portfolio includes brands like Tally Health, which specialises in genetic testing, and Oura, the ring that gleans feedback from the pulse of your finger. “When we think about it as an investable category, we are talking about the cross-section of healthcare and wellness,” Kim said.The age of the longevity economy is also hard to ascertain. Helena Rubenstein sold “Youthifiers” in the 1930s, but a decade ago, the AARP and Oxford Economics published the first Longevity Economy report, in which they estimated that efforts at extending human life generated some $7 trillion in annual economic activity. Another report estimated that a country’s GDP could rise one percent for every year added to its citizen’s life expectancy. (The longer people can live, the longer they can work.)If longevity can be provided as a service, it is an almost priceless one. For nearly a century, Switzerland’s Clinique La Prairie has hosted famous faces — performers, prime ministers, and at least one pope — and many more non-famous ones, who flock to the canthus of Lake Geneva for the guarantee of longer life. The Clinique’s original founder, the Swiss surgeon Paul Niehans, preferred the term “rejuvenation” for his speciality. In the 1930s, Niehans was pioneering a form of live cell therapy, injecting human patients with cells from the foetuses of sheep and steers that endeavoured to treat critical illness like cancer and reverse the ageing process from within.Its current proprietor, the executive Simone Gibertoni, has been working tirelessly to update the state of the art wellness clinic for a contemporary clientele. Part of it is in the language. Rejuvenation out; longevity in.“Everything is one to one,” he explained — completely tailored to each guest’s genome, from meals to massages. The Clinique is not a hotel, “because at a hotel, you have choices.”The main menu item is precision medicine. Clinique La Prairie’s collaboration with the Swiss healthcare company Gene Predictis furnishes guests with exhaustive genetic and epigenetic information. The latter records how external factors, such as exercise or smoking, affect one’s genome; in tandem, the scores calculate one’s biological age, a separate figure from their chronological one. A typical week could include MRIs, immunotherapy and Swiss herbal infusions, and cost $12,000, excluding airfare.Stateside, there’s Cenegenics, with 26 locations sprinkled across the US, as well as outposts in places like Sao Paolo and Nairobi. Where Clinique La Prairie skews luxurious non-hotel, Cenegenics skews premium medical center. One package involves spending the day at one of their locations and receiving a Johnsonesque battery of tests; the full program includes “monthly nutraceuticals and prescription drugs, therapies and hormonal treatments,” as well as access to a team of physicians. A year of Cenegenics could cost between $14,000 and $21,000, which is perhaps why the company markets itself toward the C-suite, with “44,000 executives helped” and counting.Johnson’s Blueprint meal plan and supplements subscription is also available to all who care to participate for about $1,685 a month, but the founder’s commitment to documenting his much more involved process — the panels of doctors, the 54 daily pills taken before 7:30 a.m. — provides the closest thing we have to a rough estimate of how much it costs stay forever young: about $200,000 per year, plus near-constant pill consumption.Bryan Johnson has become, perhaps, the most extreme example of the longevity trend. (Magdalena Wosinska./Magdalena Wosinska.) The New Anti-AgingOn the more affordable end of the spectrum, a crop of start-up companies endeavour to bring longevity to the masses. A subscription to Tally Health (about $150 a month) provides subscribers with at-home age tests, digital content and supplements. GlycanAge also sends tests, minus the supplements, plus telehealth appointments with “health-span doctors’' costing around $600 for a year. Clinique La Prairie offers its own supplement collection, sold at Harrods for $330 a jar.Then there are the moisturisers. If anti-aging has fallen out of favour in the media, it and its promises haven’t for consumers. In a 2023 poll, conducted by The Benchmarking Company, of American beauty consumers, the majority of respondents preferred the phrase “anti-aging” to euphemisms like “timeless.” Euromonitor estimates that global retail sales of anti-agers increased by 41 percent between 2017 to 2022 to just over $36 billion dollars.New breakthroughs in understanding how humans age has introduced a new and more specific lexicon. Words like senoinflammation and senescence are increasingly appearing in marketing for skin care products. The latter describes cells that no longer reproduce, but send vampiric signals to other cells encouraging them to do the same. Gilbertoni likens them to “garbage in your house.”Senescent cells have long been understood to play a key role in immune response, but lately are being recognised as a mechanism for ageing throughout the body. This news has thrilled the skin care community.“It’s the thing I’ve been most excited about in 20 years,” said Jennifer Linder, a dermatologist and surgeon.Two decades ago, Linder co-founded PCA Skin, which capitalised on emerging technologies in superficial chemical peels for ageing skin. In 2019, she read Tally Health co-founder David Sinclair’s “Lifespan: Why We Age — and Why We Don’t Have To,” which prompted a research binge and resulted in a new brand, Linder Health, her pandemic baby that sells peels to spas and skincare direct to consumers, including a moisturiser that helps to “prevent oxidation and cellular senescence” using a proprietary compound called ChronoGlow.Coty-owned biotech skincare brand Orveda is also dabbling in senescence, launching its Omnipotent Serum for $460 on Orveda’s website in August and at Saks this month. Direct-to-consumer biotech brand OneSkin offers a peptide called OS-01 in all of its products, including a new sunscreen that launches this week, that promises to switch off senescent cells. (Men account for almost a third of OneSkin’s customers.) The phrase “anti-aging” doesn’t appear anywhere on OneSkin’s website. Instead, their face cream is billed as “the first skin longevity treatment.” It probably won’t be the last.Editor’s Note: This article was amended on Sept. 18, 2023, to amend the price of Coty’s Omnipotent Serum and its launch cadence.

Johnson made a fortune after his e-payment company Braintree bought Venmo in 2012 for about $26 million and then sold it a year later to eBay for about $800 million, fulfilling a goal he set for himself at age 21 and making him rich enough for several lifetimes.“Following the acquisition, a single question mattered to me,” Johnson wrote in 2018, at 40 years old. “How do we collectively thrive beyond what we can even imagine?” At the time Johnson looked not unlike a stock image for a middle-aged white American male.When Johnson reemerged in the public this year to promote a new wellness start-up, Blueprint, something was different. His skin had a vampiric perfection, pulled snare-drum taut against his cheekbones. He looked both jacked and androgynous. His once greying hair was now auburn.Johnson had claimed to shave two decades off of his biological age using techniques both mundane — diet, exercise, supplements — and macabre — exchanging blood plasma with his son and father.Beauty companies have endeavoured to create an “anti-aging” market for centuries. Now, in the truest sense of the term, that market, now dubbed “longevity,” may be here — and opening for business. Prices start at $99 for a subscription to a topical supplement from OneSkin, and well into seven figures, if you’re someone with Johnson’s means looking for the full Benjamin Button, courtesy of far-flung health spas and exhaustive testing panels.Pay to StayThe nascent longevity market broadly describes goods and services provided with the aim of helping people age better, although it’s difficult to disentangle this from other massive economies spanning from comorbidity medicines like metformin to financial planning to at-home genetic testing. Some investors have to draw finer lines, says Eurie Kim, a managing partner at Forerunner Ventures. Forerunner’s longevity portfolio includes brands like Tally Health, which specialises in genetic testing, and Oura, the ring that gleans feedback from the pulse of your finger. “When we think about it as an investable category, we are talking about the cross-section of healthcare and wellness,” Kim said.The age of the longevity economy is also hard to ascertain. Helena Rubenstein sold “Youthifiers” in the 1930s, but a decade ago, the AARP and Oxford Economics published the first Longevity Economy report, in which they estimated that efforts at extending human life generated some $7 trillion in annual economic activity. Another report estimated that a country’s GDP could rise one percent for every year added to its citizen’s life expectancy. (The longer people can live, the longer they can work.)If longevity can be provided as a service, it is an almost priceless one. For nearly a century, Switzerland’s Clinique La Prairie has hosted famous faces — performers, prime ministers, and at least one pope — and many more non-famous ones, who flock to the canthus of Lake Geneva for the guarantee of longer life. The Clinique’s original founder, the Swiss surgeon Paul Niehans, preferred the term “rejuvenation” for his speciality. In the 1930s, Niehans was pioneering a form of live cell therapy, injecting human patients with cells from the foetuses of sheep and steers that endeavoured to treat critical illness like cancer and reverse the ageing process from within.Its current proprietor, the executive Simone Gibertoni, has been working tirelessly to update the state of the art wellness clinic for a contemporary clientele. Part of it is in the language. Rejuvenation out; longevity in.“Everything is one to one,” he explained — completely tailored to each guest’s genome, from meals to massages. The Clinique is not a hotel, “because at a hotel, you have choices.”The main menu item is precision medicine. Clinique La Prairie’s collaboration with the Swiss healthcare company Gene Predictis furnishes guests with exhaustive genetic and epigenetic information. The latter records how external factors, such as exercise or smoking, affect one’s genome; in tandem, the scores calculate one’s biological age, a separate figure from their chronological one. A typical week could include MRIs, immunotherapy and Swiss herbal infusions, and cost $12,000, excluding airfare.Stateside, there’s Cenegenics, with 26 locations sprinkled across the US, as well as outposts in places like Sao Paolo and Nairobi. Where Clinique La Prairie skews luxurious non-hotel, Cenegenics skews premium medical center. One package involves spending the day at one of their locations and receiving a Johnsonesque battery of tests; the full program includes “monthly nutraceuticals and prescription drugs, therapies and hormonal treatments,” as well as access to a team of physicians. A year of Cenegenics could cost between $14,000 and $21,000, which is perhaps why the company markets itself toward the C-suite, with “44,000 executives helped” and counting.Johnson’s Blueprint meal plan and supplements subscription is also available to all who care to participate for about $1,685 a month, but the founder’s commitment to documenting his much more involved process — the panels of doctors, the 54 daily pills taken before 7:30 a.m. — provides the closest thing we have to a rough estimate of how much it costs stay forever young: about $200,000 per year, plus near-constant pill consumption.Bryan Johnson has become, perhaps, the most extreme example of the longevity trend. (Magdalena Wosinska./Magdalena Wosinska.) The New Anti-AgingOn the more affordable end of the spectrum, a crop of start-up companies endeavour to bring longevity to the masses. A subscription to Tally Health (about $150 a month) provides subscribers with at-home age tests, digital content and supplements. GlycanAge also sends tests, minus the supplements, plus telehealth appointments with “health-span doctors’' costing around $600 for a year. Clinique La Prairie offers its own supplement collection, sold at Harrods for $330 a jar.Then there are the moisturisers. If anti-aging has fallen out of favour in the media, it and its promises haven’t for consumers. In a 2023 poll, conducted by The Benchmarking Company, of American beauty consumers, the majority of respondents preferred the phrase “anti-aging” to euphemisms like “timeless.” Euromonitor estimates that global retail sales of anti-agers increased by 41 percent between 2017 to 2022 to just over $36 billion dollars.New breakthroughs in understanding how humans age has introduced a new and more specific lexicon. Words like senoinflammation and senescence are increasingly appearing in marketing for skin care products. The latter describes cells that no longer reproduce, but send vampiric signals to other cells encouraging them to do the same. Gilbertoni likens them to “garbage in your house.”Senescent cells have long been understood to play a key role in immune response, but lately are being recognised as a mechanism for ageing throughout the body. This news has thrilled the skin care community.“It’s the thing I’ve been most excited about in 20 years,” said Jennifer Linder, a dermatologist and surgeon.Two decades ago, Linder co-founded PCA Skin, which capitalised on emerging technologies in superficial chemical peels for ageing skin. In 2019, she read Tally Health co-founder David Sinclair’s “Lifespan: Why We Age — and Why We Don’t Have To,” which prompted a research binge and resulted in a new brand, Linder Health, her pandemic baby that sells peels to spas and skincare direct to consumers, including a moisturiser that helps to “prevent oxidation and cellular senescence” using a proprietary compound called ChronoGlow.Coty-owned biotech skincare brand Orveda is also dabbling in senescence, launching its Omnipotent Serum for $460 on Orveda’s website in August and at Saks this month. Direct-to-consumer biotech brand OneSkin offers a peptide called OS-01 in all of its products, including a new sunscreen that launches this week, that promises to switch off senescent cells. (Men account for almost a third of OneSkin’s customers.) The phrase “anti-aging” doesn’t appear anywhere on OneSkin’s website. Instead, their face cream is billed as “the first skin longevity treatment.” It probably won’t be the last.Editor’s Note: This article was amended on Sept. 18, 2023, to amend the price of Coty’s Omnipotent Serum and its launch cadence.

In the zodiac calendar, 2025 is the year of the snake, portending transformation and renewal. The wellness industry, however, isn’t as much entering a new period this year as it is doubling down on changes already in progress. The buzziest wellness trends of 2025 continue to track with long-term shifts in how consumers think about their health — the way we age, the shape of our bodies — facilitated by new developments in technology, medicine and culture. The centuries-old pursuit of lasting health and modern anti-aging has been refocused in the post-pandemic age as “well-aging” and longevity, bolstering interest in supplements and alternative therapies.The widespread adoption of GLP-1 agonist medications will surely continue, with stigmas around using drugs like Wegovy or Mounjaro shedding fast, fueling demand for nutritional products suited to consumers’ suddenly specific dietary needs. But 2025’s biggest shift began to firm up on Monday as President Donald Trump was inaugurated. If Robert F. Kennedy Jr, his pick for secretary of health and human services, is confirmed — and his rallying cry to Make America Healthy Again, or MAHA, goes mainstream — there could be considerable change coming to health and wellness in the US from a regulatory standpoint. The surest thing is that wellness will continue to pervade the closely-related beauty, food and fitness industries. “It’s an exciting time, when you’ve got wellness connecting through skincare, through technology, through ingredients,” said Justin Boxford, the global brand president of the Estée Lauder label. Long Live LongevityLongevity is perhaps the most dominant theme in wellness right now, inspiring a “whole change of conversation,” said Boxford. He’s talking about words like healthspan replacing lifespan — implying great health can happen at any age — and biological aging superseding chronological aging. “Chronological aging seems to be a bit passé,” said Michael Nolte, an SVP and creative director at insights platform Beautystreams. “You can’t measure your age solely by the number on your passport.” One’s “biological age” is determined through a battery of pricey tests and doesn’t necessary relate to the number on your birth certificate — a chronological Millennial who smokes, for example, could be a biological Boomer. New ingredients are being created to address recently-understood developments in cell health, like the process of “senescence” by which cells die off. This is where the field of longevity starts to look familiar: Dsm-firmenich’s Eterwell Youth, a trademarked ingredient made from an Alpine herb, promises to make you “look nine years younger in just three months.” The Estée Lauder brand announced it will support the Stanford Center of Longevity to further its research into how to keep skin cells fresher for longer. One way is by targeting sirtuins, molecules found in the body that Boxford calls “the ultimate longevity proteins”; the brand’s new Re-Nutriv eye cream boasts a patented Sirtivity-LP complex, “proven to not only slow but reverse visible aging,” according to a press release.Longevity will also continue to permeate spas, trickling down from Alpine resorts like Clinique La Prairie (which has been hosting longevity-centric retreats for the past century, but recently opened lavish outposts in Bangkok and Dubai) and into upscale gym chains like Equinox (and their new $40,000 membership, which includes epigenetic testing). Despite rumblings about these types of clinics one day spreading to strip malls, all evidence indicates that longevity remains a luxury product — if no longer a priceless one. Ozempic’s Supersized EconomyAt the end of 2024, pharma giant Novo Nordisk, the largest company in Europe by market capitalisation and the makers of GLP-1 medications Ozempic and Wegovy, announced it had entered late stage trials for a new product called CagriSema, a so-called “Super Ozempic” that combines the two medications cagrilintide and semaglutide and promises to shed 25 percent of a patient’s body weight. The results of one of those trials, which posted in late December, showed disappointing results, with 3400 patients seeing an average weight loss of 22 percent — about the same as Zepbound, Eli Lilly’s tirzepatide injection — and just over half making it to the full dosage, suggesting gnarlier side effects. The news prompted Novo’s stock to plummet. Still, it’s clear the race to produce even better weight loss drugs is well underway. Pfizer’s oral GLP-1 drug, danuglipron, could enter late-stage clinical trials in late 2025, with Novo and Lilly working on their own ingestible (versus injectable) versions; US financial firm Morningstar predicts as many as 16 new drugs could launch by 2029.Their widespread adoption is “transforming eating habits, driving a shift toward nutrient-dense, smaller portions,” said Danika Gloege, insights director at social listening firm Black Swan Data, which digests millions of online posts across platforms.This has led to an increase in protein-packed products at the grocery store, like Chobani’s new “High Protein” yogurts or Nestlé’s Boost Pre-Meal Hunger Support shakes, sold in a pack of four on Amazon. (Black Swan also notes demand for multivitamins, protein bars and bone broth.) Plant proteins derived from fungi and algae species are also ascendant, Gloege added, citing the popularity of spirulina-dusted popcorn at trendy grocery chain Erewhon. A Right Path to HealthThe wellness community’s embrace of largely unregulated alternative medicines and therapies has increasingly become associated with the far right. That is set to continue in 2025, with President Donald Trump’s appointment of Kennedy as HHS secretary. Kennedy has attracted rabid fans and passionate critics for his scepticism around vaccines and processed foods, and has also declared his own war on the “aggressive suppression” of “psychedelics, peptides, stem cells,” and “raw milk,” paving the way for alternative therapies to go mainstream. (In step with this move to the right, “carnivore diet” was a breakout wellness term in 2024, according to Spate.) Trump, similarly, said he would “course-correct and refocus” the FDA, nominating the surgeon Marty Makary to lead the agency. It’s a shift from years past. “Historically, Republican administrations have taken a more restrained approach to regulation and enforcement,” explained Marcha Isabelle Chaudry, an attorney and policy analyst. The Biden Administration, for instance, passed the Modernization of Cosmetic Regulation Act, or MoCRA, a bipartisan effort that provided the first updates to the FDA’s regulation of cosmetics in 80 years, which went into effect in July 2024. Under MoCRA, cosmetic companies are obligated to register their manufacturing facilities, and to report adverse events from using their products to the FDA. “I see those staying in place,” Chaudry said. “They’re not too stringent.”But they don’t seem safe, either, after Trump spent his first day in office rolling back a wide range of Biden’s policies from immigration to DEI. Chaudry emphasized the continued importance of brands, retailers and agencies to do their own legwork when it comes to validating their claims and ingredients. “It’s not just about marketing — customers want functional benefits,” Chaudry said. “It goes back to performance and substantiation. We’re going to want more proof that the product works.” Vogue VitaminsNAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a naturally-occurring molecule that facilitates human metabolism, has become a popular offering at upscale spas and “longevity” clinics and is typically administered via intravenous drip. (NAD+ and sirtuins are closely related.) Regular doses can improve cognition and energy, according to influential supporters. Athletes like NAD+ for its supposed performance benefits, and Rhode founder Hailey Bieber recently said she was planning to receive NAD+ “for the rest of my life.”There is scant evidence that drugs like NAD+ make much of a difference in human life span, but consumer interest has spread nonetheless. Spate’s new Popularity Index, which tracks trends across Google and TikTok, recorded a surge in search volume for NAD+ supplements (up 226 percent from last year) and their benefits (up 414 percent). On TikTok in particular, mentions of NAD+ often appear alongside the #antiaging hashtag, which Spate’s Addison Cain believes is correlated to an increased focus on longevity. Fragrance Made FunctionalPerfumes of all kinds — from sweet, inexpensive body mists to niche, artisanal scent expressions — had a banner year in 2024 as beauty’s fastest-growing category. Next year, converging wellness themes will buoy it to new heights.“Functional healing” was Black Swan Data’s top future growth trend in the fragrance category, Gloege said. These fragrances, which provide benefits to the user that go beyond scent alone, may have finally gone mainstream. Labels like Being Frenshe, the Target-sold brand co-founded by the actress Ashley Tisdale and manufacturer Maesa, released candles and fragrances that contain a proprietary “Moodscience” complex that claims to improve its wearers’ mood. The brand’s Vanilla Cashmere Body Mist is the number one fragrance SKU in mass retail, according to insights firm Circana and industry sources. Feel-good fragrance can be functional, but Gloege also points to formulas that boast benefits, especially when it comes to sleep. (Fragrance searches including keywords “performance” and “sleep” were up 32 percent and 88 percent, respectively.) This provides opportunities for mass and niche fragrance brands, but also wellness labels. Supplement brand the Nue Co., which first launched its “Functional Fragrance” that claims to “support stress relief” with notes of palo santo, in 2018, more recently relaunched its fragrances in a collection that now includes formulations called Water Therapy (also anti-stress) and Mind Energy (for focus); a new addition will launch early this year. Through as small a gesture as spritzing perfume, consumers hope to “transform daily routines into opportunities for holistic healing,” Gloege said.

In the zodiac calendar, 2025 is the year of the snake, portending transformation and renewal. The wellness industry, however, isn’t as much entering a new period this year as it is doubling down on changes already in progress. The buzziest wellness trends of 2025 continue to track with long-term shifts in how consumers think about their health — the way we age, the shape of our bodies — facilitated by new developments in technology, medicine and culture. The centuries-old pursuit of lasting health and modern anti-aging has been refocused in the post-pandemic age as “well-aging” and longevity, bolstering interest in supplements and alternative therapies.The widespread adoption of GLP-1 agonist medications will surely continue, with stigmas around using drugs like Wegovy or Mounjaro shedding fast, fueling demand for nutritional products suited to consumers’ suddenly specific dietary needs. But 2025’s biggest shift began to firm up on Monday as President Donald Trump was inaugurated. If Robert F. Kennedy Jr, his pick for secretary of health and human services, is confirmed — and his rallying cry to Make America Healthy Again, or MAHA, goes mainstream — there could be considerable change coming to health and wellness in the US from a regulatory standpoint. The surest thing is that wellness will continue to pervade the closely-related beauty, food and fitness industries. “It’s an exciting time, when you’ve got wellness connecting through skincare, through technology, through ingredients,” said Justin Boxford, the global brand president of the Estée Lauder label. Long Live LongevityLongevity is perhaps the most dominant theme in wellness right now, inspiring a “whole change of conversation,” said Boxford. He’s talking about words like healthspan replacing lifespan — implying great health can happen at any age — and biological aging superseding chronological aging. “Chronological aging seems to be a bit passé,” said Michael Nolte, an SVP and creative director at insights platform Beautystreams. “You can’t measure your age solely by the number on your passport.” One’s “biological age” is determined through a battery of pricey tests and doesn’t necessary relate to the number on your birth certificate — a chronological Millennial who smokes, for example, could be a biological Boomer. New ingredients are being created to address recently-understood developments in cell health, like the process of “senescence” by which cells die off. This is where the field of longevity starts to look familiar: Dsm-firmenich’s Eterwell Youth, a trademarked ingredient made from an Alpine herb, promises to make you “look nine years younger in just three months.” The Estée Lauder brand announced it will support the Stanford Center of Longevity to further its research into how to keep skin cells fresher for longer. One way is by targeting sirtuins, molecules found in the body that Boxford calls “the ultimate longevity proteins”; the brand’s new Re-Nutriv eye cream boasts a patented Sirtivity-LP complex, “proven to not only slow but reverse visible aging,” according to a press release.Longevity will also continue to permeate spas, trickling down from Alpine resorts like Clinique La Prairie (which has been hosting longevity-centric retreats for the past century, but recently opened lavish outposts in Bangkok and Dubai) and into upscale gym chains like Equinox (and their new $40,000 membership, which includes epigenetic testing). Despite rumblings about these types of clinics one day spreading to strip malls, all evidence indicates that longevity remains a luxury product — if no longer a priceless one. Ozempic’s Supersized EconomyAt the end of 2024, pharma giant Novo Nordisk, the largest company in Europe by market capitalisation and the makers of GLP-1 medications Ozempic and Wegovy, announced it had entered late stage trials for a new product called CagriSema, a so-called “Super Ozempic” that combines the two medications cagrilintide and semaglutide and promises to shed 25 percent of a patient’s body weight. The results of one of those trials, which posted in late December, showed disappointing results, with 3400 patients seeing an average weight loss of 22 percent — about the same as Zepbound, Eli Lilly’s tirzepatide injection — and just over half making it to the full dosage, suggesting gnarlier side effects. The news prompted Novo’s stock to plummet. Still, it’s clear the race to produce even better weight loss drugs is well underway. Pfizer’s oral GLP-1 drug, danuglipron, could enter late-stage clinical trials in late 2025, with Novo and Lilly working on their own ingestible (versus injectable) versions; US financial firm Morningstar predicts as many as 16 new drugs could launch by 2029.Their widespread adoption is “transforming eating habits, driving a shift toward nutrient-dense, smaller portions,” said Danika Gloege, insights director at social listening firm Black Swan Data, which digests millions of online posts across platforms.This has led to an increase in protein-packed products at the grocery store, like Chobani’s new “High Protein” yogurts or Nestlé’s Boost Pre-Meal Hunger Support shakes, sold in a pack of four on Amazon. (Black Swan also notes demand for multivitamins, protein bars and bone broth.) Plant proteins derived from fungi and algae species are also ascendant, Gloege added, citing the popularity of spirulina-dusted popcorn at trendy grocery chain Erewhon. A Right Path to HealthThe wellness community’s embrace of largely unregulated alternative medicines and therapies has increasingly become associated with the far right. That is set to continue in 2025, with President Donald Trump’s appointment of Kennedy as HHS secretary. Kennedy has attracted rabid fans and passionate critics for his scepticism around vaccines and processed foods, and has also declared his own war on the “aggressive suppression” of “psychedelics, peptides, stem cells,” and “raw milk,” paving the way for alternative therapies to go mainstream. (In step with this move to the right, “carnivore diet” was a breakout wellness term in 2024, according to Spate.) Trump, similarly, said he would “course-correct and refocus” the FDA, nominating the surgeon Marty Makary to lead the agency. It’s a shift from years past. “Historically, Republican administrations have taken a more restrained approach to regulation and enforcement,” explained Marcha Isabelle Chaudry, an attorney and policy analyst. The Biden Administration, for instance, passed the Modernization of Cosmetic Regulation Act, or MoCRA, a bipartisan effort that provided the first updates to the FDA’s regulation of cosmetics in 80 years, which went into effect in July 2024. Under MoCRA, cosmetic companies are obligated to register their manufacturing facilities, and to report adverse events from using their products to the FDA. “I see those staying in place,” Chaudry said. “They’re not too stringent.”But they don’t seem safe, either, after Trump spent his first day in office rolling back a wide range of Biden’s policies from immigration to DEI. Chaudry emphasized the continued importance of brands, retailers and agencies to do their own legwork when it comes to validating their claims and ingredients. “It’s not just about marketing — customers want functional benefits,” Chaudry said. “It goes back to performance and substantiation. We’re going to want more proof that the product works.” Vogue VitaminsNAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a naturally-occurring molecule that facilitates human metabolism, has become a popular offering at upscale spas and “longevity” clinics and is typically administered via intravenous drip. (NAD+ and sirtuins are closely related.) Regular doses can improve cognition and energy, according to influential supporters.
