The 2024 Wellness Trends from Well+Good are out and our team was especially excited to see the prediction of more celebration around eating for wellness in this coming year. With better-for-you food brands prioritizing a more joyful approach to clean and nutritious products, we look forward to watching both the category and consumer segment grow in 2024. We think there is so much potential for brands when it comes to the recent rise of nostalgia foods centering around comfort and familiarity, and the Good Culture team has done such a wonderful job of harnessing that power by bringing life back into something that's been so stationary like cottage cheese. Is your brand interested in diving into this nostalgic offerings wave? Or perhaps you're already on the way and could use some support making the launch extra special. Either way, our crew is here for you - check out the variety of ways SchroderHaus can help support your new product launch in 2024, or even just help your brand jump into this opportunity with consumers: https://lnkd.in/gt2VdssY #nostalgia #betterforyou #naturalproducts #pragency #affiliateagency #2024foodtrends https://lnkd.in/gpUVSYj

A lot of us say that health matters and is the most important thing.

Nutrition is a right. Food is a right. Health is a right. Culture is a right. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights clearly states these as rights (Articles 22, 25, 27). Yet, how many individuals and communities actually feel like they can freely experience and enjoy these rights? Most policy makers, organizational decision makers, health professionals, and business leaders underestimate the importance of intersectionality, even if they mean well. There is no nutrition without food. There is no health without nutrition. Culture *is* the human experience of - and interaction with - food, nutrition and health. It gives life meaning and sense, and may (or may not) give us a sense of belonging. Agriculture and food industry professionals, medical professionals, nutrition professionals, policy makers, and other health and wellness professionals often zone in on their area of expertise without regard or respect for the relationship their field has with others. What do we need to do? Look for and appreciate the nuances. Promote intersectional learning and collaboration. But overall LISTEN TO AND LEARN FROM THE PEOPLE AFFECTED BY YOUR WORK. How has this intersectionality shown up in your life?

G'Day LinkedIn Fam :-) Recent health research, jointly undertaken by The Growth D_Stillery and VERVE Australia, underscores that the significance of #health and #wellbeing to Australians spans across all age groups. However, with the escalating costs of living, many are reassessing their expenditure, including that on wellness. The "Health D_Stilled" study discovered a shift in the Australian outlook towards health. The emphasis is more on holistic well-being and compassion. A whopping 84% agree that their health and overall well-being are their primary concerns. Furthermore, the aspirations lean heavily towards achieving happiness, enhanced quality of life, and a genuine sense of well-being. In today's age, the pursuit of health revolves more around positivity rather than merely addressing issues. When seeking advice, #Australians prefer #experts over #influencers. A concerning insight from the study revealed that 1 in 3 Australians, affected by living cost surges, are investing less in their health now than they did a year ago. The "Health D_Stilled" findings also classified Australians' approach to health into three categories based on The Resilience Paradigm and individuals' compromise levels: Survive, Thrive, or Optimise.
