Today, at a press event at Hearst Tower in New York City, the Global Wellness Summit released its top 10 wellness trends for 2020, the new directions that the organization believes will have the most meaningful—not fleeting—impact on the $4.5 trillion global wellness industry.
The trends emerged from the insights of the 550 experts from 50 nations that gathered at the recent Summit, including top economists, doctors, academics, technologists and the CEOs of international corporations across all fields of wellness—making for a uniquely informed and global set of predictions.
The profound implications of our circadian clock is highlighted in trend #1 'Focus Shifts from Sleep to True Circadian Health'.
“We predict a major shift in wellness: less focus on solutions targeting sleep/fatigue and a new focus on circadian health optimization, not only so we can sleep but to boost the brain/body systems controlled by the circadian clock. Circadian health optimization—incorporating the type and timing of light—will soon become more important than ‘sleep.’ Solutions that realign our internal circadian clocks with each other, and our internal clocks with the outside world, will surge.”
Timeshifter is prominently highlighted in the report.
