The top 10 wellness trends on TikTok
From cloud bread to the terrifying ‘75 Hard’ challenge...
In case you hadn’t heard the exciting news, TikTok will be leading a new health-focused initiative that allows users to curate the app’s content for a more mindful experience.
According to a report by Champney’s, the initiative is called the ‘Wellness Hub’ and it will be housing all things pertaining to food, nutrition, fitness, life advice, mindfulness and skin care, in the hopes of fostering a more positive online environment. The hub was created in response to TikTok users wanting to take their wellbeing into their own hands, after COVID-19 made access to amenities such as the gym, spa and salons more difficult.
Want to know what to expect? These are the top 10 wellness trends on TikTok.

This fitness challenge is not for the faint of heart. We’re talking about a strict diet (no cheat days), two 45-minute workouts a day, reading every day and drinking a bucket load of water daily too.

Briar Clark got her start in the media industry in 2017, as an intern for Marie Claire and InStyle. Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
