The world is changing. It is a dynamic place. It is globalizing rapidly. People are exchanging information, interacting with people from other countries, and traveling more than ever before. It’s no surprise then that health and wellness trends are evolving as the world goes through these changes. Not only have science and medicine improved, but awareness has also grown, and people are trying to be healthy and well. Wherever you live, below are some health and wellness trends around the world that we can all learn from.
Emphasis on Mental Health
One thing that has changed greatly around the world is how people approach mental health. Argentina was always known for its openness to therapy, but it has taken a long time for the rest of the world to catch up. Now, with the stigma surrounding mental illness improving and the ability for people to receive the treatment they need more readily available, there is more of an emphasis on mental health.
Online therapy has made it a lot easier for people to talk to someone. It is no longer seen as shameful to take medication for depression, anxiety, PTSD, or another mental health issue. While it will take a while for some developing countries to accept mental health as a viable form of wellness, much of the world is going the way of Argentina.
Stem Cells
Another example of a health trend that has become more accepted is the phenomenon of stem cells. Stem cells provide healing and regeneration for many different problems. It can help reduce pain and inflammation. It can facilitate the treatment of specific diseases and can enable the body to heal and stay healthy.
This research is done around the world, but Europe and Asia are the centers for stem cell therapy. However, Americans often go to Mexico for their stem cell treatment, where the research is more liberal, and the cost of the therapy is much cheaper. Stem cell therapy isn’t yet widely accepted and practiced everywhere, but it is a trend happening around the world that will help millions of people if it is widely accepted.
Wellness Retreats
In the complex, busy, and fast-paced Western countries, there is a big trend of wellness retreats. Wellness retreats are essentially when a group of people goes out to a remote destination where they can find peace, tranquility, and, sometimes, treatment. This is popular for busy professionals who need some quiet, but it is also common for people who need help.
Whether it’s a retreat designed to help people who are addicted to drugs, have problems with their mental health, or are working through some trauma, wellness retreats are a way for many to disconnect with the digital world and reconnect with themselves. It doesn’t have to be heavy, though. There are yoga wellness retreats, spa retreats, and weight loss retreats. These getaways have become very popular in the United Kingdom.
Sexual Liberation
When it comes to sex, history isn’t kind to the promiscuous. Things are changing. Not only are people realizing there is nothing wrong with enjoying themselves, their bodies, and their partners, nowadays it is much easier to practice safe sex and contraception.
The rate of sexual acceptance and liberation varies from country to country, but there are many places becoming more positive about sexuality. For example, PinkCherry, a sex toy brand based in Canada, shows that people in the country are being more open about their enjoyment of sex as recreation. Whether it’s Canada, France, or Brazil, many countries are opposing puritanical ideas and embracing free love and sex.
Mental health, stem cells, wellness retreats, and sexual liberation are just some of the trends around the world that are changing the way we think about our well-being. As a global culture, we are becoming more accepting of our flaws, obstacles, and history. There is always time to progress forward, and when it comes to our health and wellness, there is no time like the present.
Do you have a hard time taking care of yourself? Is it difficult to know what to do to make your life better and healthier? You should rip a page out of these places books and dedicate yourself to health and wellness. Once you do, caring for yourself in those ways will become a solid habit.

Metal health awareness and open talk about addiction within the celebrity circle, as well as the LGBTRQ circle, has only come to the forefront in the last few years. With COVID being a major player in the progression of depression and addiction, we are now sharing our stories. Entertainer Ty Herndon shared last year’s relapse publicly, in hopes that others would learn from his journey. He has become empowered by getting back on his sober journey with new music and a podcast.
On this episode, we chat about Ty’s relapse, setting boundaries, what keeps him going, his relationship with religion, coming out as bipolar, his sober creative process, other LGBTQ trailblazers in country music, his personal mantra, life after coming out, his proudest moment of his career, his wish for the LGBTQ community, and, on a lighter note, getting back into the dating world….with host Alexander Rodriguez.
Country music artist Ty Herndon burst onto the scene and made his chart debut in 1995 with “What Mattered Most,” which became his first No. 1 song and garnered a Song of the Year award. It was also the title track to his first album, which debuted on the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart and had the biggest first-week shipment in the history of Epic Records Nashville. Between 1995 and 2002, Herndon charted 17 singles. In 2014, Herndon became the first major male country artist to publicly come out as gay in an exclusive with People magazine. He received an outpouring of support that only strengthened his relationship with fans and the country music community, expanding his reach to new and diverse audiences. Shortly after, he made history when he hosted a first-of-its-kind country music event, The Concert for Love and Acceptance, now an annual event that provides a stage for LGBTQ and allied artists. In 2020, he created the Foundation For Love & Acceptance to further his work on behalf of LGBTQ youth. Herndon found himself back at No. 1 in 2020 — this time on iTunes with his remake of “Orphans of God,” a collaboration with Kristin Chenoweth and Paul Cardall featured on his holiday release, Regifted. Over the last year, he has been working on the new album, JACOB, his first of all-new music since 2016’s House On Fire. In addition to his own foundation, Herndon lends his time and talent to MusiCares, which has supported Herndon through his struggles and supports those in the music industry with a safety net of services. Most recently, Ty launched a new podcast titled SOUNDBOARD. The long-form podcast features conversations with high-profile artists discussing their struggles and wins along their mental fitness journeys – guests include LeAnn Rimes, Michael Ray, Crystal Lewis, and more!
