From ice baths in Hackney to mushroom coffee at Pret, the UK wellness industry is booming. But which trends genuinely deliver, and which are just Instagram nonsense dressed up as self-care?
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Cold Water Plunges
Dawn dips in Brighton sea or a Β£30 ice bath session in Shoreditch. Either you're a convert for life or you think it's madness dressed up as mindfulness.

C

Gen Z has killed the pub pint and replaced it with alcohol-free IPAs and Club Soda meetups. Liberating lifestyle shift or joyless middle-class fad?
D
Breathwork Classes
From Wim Hof workshops to holotropic sessions in Shoreditch studios. Genuine nervous-system reset or the emperor's new yoga?
E
Adaptogenic Mushroom Coffee
Holland & Barrett can't keep it on the shelves, and every wellness influencer swears by it. Nootropic miracle or expensive placebo in a sachet?
