Celebrating a Decade of Wellness Evidence

The Global Wellness Institute (GWI) is commemorating a significant milestone: the ten-year anniversary of its flagship portal, WellnessEvidence.com. Launched as the first platform dedicated to scientific investigations into wellness practices, it has evolved to become an invaluable resource for the wellness industry.

Over the past decade, GWI has expanded this portal to include a wide array of wellness modalities. Initially hosting a select few, Wellness Evidence now covers 38 different wellness topics. Recent additions include innovative modalities such as biophilic design, breathwork, cryotherapy, dance therapy, and flotation therapy. Each topic presents a carefully curated selection of pertinent medical studies, allowing users to delve into the scientific foundation of wellness practices that are making waves around the world.

One of the most exciting developments is the integration of Semantic Scholar, an AI-driven research tool that empowers users to explore scientific findings in an innovative way. The portal now also offers integrated access to esteemed databases such as The Cochrane Library, PubMed, and TRIP, alongside real-time links to current clinical trials on databases like ClinicalTrials.gov and the World Health Organization. This strategic enhancement ensures that users—from healthcare professionals to wellness enthusiasts—can easily navigate the extensive landscape of wellness research.

GWI’s chair and CEO, Susie Ellis, emphasized the growing relevance of evidence in the rapidly evolving wellness industry. With wellness generating a staggering $6.3 trillion in global revenues, Ellis states, "the responsibility to distinguish genuine scientific evidence from sensationalized claims is more critical than ever. Wellness Evidence was established to enhance transparency, credibility, and accessibility related to wellness science, and with the ten-year mark, its significance has only intensified."

The celebrations also coincide with the upcoming Global Wellness Summit in Dubai, where Wellness Evidence will take center stage in a panel discussion featuring industry leaders, including Ellis, Dr. Kenneth R. Pelletier, a Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, and Beth McGroarty, VP of Research & Forecasting at GWI. The session aims to discuss the critical role of scientific validation and digital access in crafting the future landscape of the wellness industry, ultimately bridging the divide between empirical evidence, innovation, and public trust.

Dr. Pelletier, one of the original medical consultants involved in the launch of Wellness Evidence, highlighted the significant shift in perception of wellness practices, many of which were once regarded as 'alternative'. With rigorous scientific inquiry, these practices are now receiving validation, reinforcing their position within clinical medicine and evidence-based wellness sectors. He says, "Since its inception in 2015, Wellness Evidence has functioned as a trusted asset for researchers and practitioners globally. By offering concise access to important research, it serves to connect the dots between clinical medicine and the evolving field of wellness."

As the portal enters its next decade, the GWI is committed to pushing boundaries and continuously enhancing the bridge between evidence and wellness practices. The extensive resources available through Wellness Evidence not only inform practitioners but also empower individuals seeking to enhance their health and wellness journeys through scientifically supported methods.

The expansion of Wellness Evidence signifies a broader movement towards integrating credible science into everyday wellness practices, illustrating the GWI's dedication to creating a healthier, more informed public in the wellness domain.

The Global Wellness Institute remains at the forefront of wellness research, education, and innovation. Its efforts continue to impact global health positively, steer public narratives toward disease prevention, reduce stress, and enhance the quality of life. Through collaboration with public institutions, businesses, and the global community, GWI aspires to empower wellness initiatives worldwide.
