A new report from The Vitamin Shoppe’s 2025 Trend Survey reveals that artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how Americans approach health and wellness. More than one in three Americans (35 %) now use AI-powered tools for parts of their daily wellness routine — from tracking sleep and meal planning to emotional support.


Key Findings

  • 31 % use AI to research health conditions.

  • 25 % use AI for meal planning.

  • 23 % use AI to discover new exercise routines.

  • 20 % use AI for emotional support.

  • Among AI users, 24 % also use it to fact-check other health information.

  • Sleep and mental health now outrank exercise and weight-loss as top priorities: 54 % vs 46 % and 42 % vs 38 %, respectively.

The survey also found that 69 % of Americans take supplements — with gummies and liquid formats leading growth.


Why It Matters

AI-driven wellness is changing the definition of a healthy lifestyle. Instead of generic fitness plans and one-size-fits-all routines, people are turning to personalized, data-backed solutions.

  • If you’re tracking sleep, steps or mood on your device, you’re already part of this movement.

  • AI helps you understand patterns — not just count them — turning numbers into actionable insights.

  • As younger users (Millennials and Gen Z) embrace tech-based health management, the demand for intuitive wellness apps and wearables continues to rise.

  • For US/Canada audiences, this means using apps and devices that offer actionable insights, not just trendy features.


What You Can Try This Week

  1. Try a new AI-driven app for meal planning or stress tracking — explore its personalized recommendations.

  2. Let AI suggest a workout based on your energy and sleep data — see how it compares to your routine.

  3. Reflect on your tech balance: Are you using AI to support wellness or depending on it too much?

  4. Combine AI insights with mindfulness — pause for 15 minutes offline each day to reset.
