We are pleased to see insights from our President, Dr Alex Maxwell, included in a recent BBC article on 2026 wellbeing trends.
Speaking from a lifestyle medicine perspective, Dr Maxwell highlighted that while nootropics and brain training are gaining popularity, the most effective support for long-term brain health comes from evidence-based lifestyle practices such as sufficient sleep and regular physical activity.
He emphasised a “back to basics” approach, noting that core lifestyle habits remain fundamental and that new technology and wellness trends should be used thoughtfully to support daily life.
It is encouraging to see lifestyle medicine perspectives gaining wider attention and playing an increasingly important role in public discussions about practical, evidence-based approaches to health.
