Celebrating Ten Years of Wellness Evidence: The GWI\u2019s Portal for Scientific Research on Wellness Modalities
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

From biophilic design to cryotherapy, the Global Wellness Institute expands its evidence-based wellness resource to reflect the wellness sector\u2019s changing landscape <\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Miami, FL \u2013 November 5, 2025 <\/strong> \u2013 The non-profit Global Wellness Institute<\/strong><\/a> (GWI), the leading research organization for the global wellness industry, is celebrating the ten-year anniversary of WellnessEvidence.com<\/a>\u2014the world\u2019s first portal dedicated to scientific studies on wellness modalities.<\/p>\n

Marking this milestone, the platform has added five new evidence-based wellness topics\u2014biophilic design, breathwork, cryotherapy, dance therapy and flotation therapy\u2014bringing the total to 38 modalities. Each topic showcases a curated selection of representative medical studies, giving users direct access to the research underpinning wellness practices worldwide.<\/p>\n

To further enhance accessibility, Wellness Evidence now features Semantic Scholar, an AI-driven research tool that helps users explore findings via the latest technology. The portal also provides integrated access to The Cochrane Library, PubMed and TRIP databases, as well as real-time links to current clinical trials through both ClinicalTrials.gov and the World Health Organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the past decade, wellness has become a $6.3 trillion global economy, \u00a0touching every part of our lives,\u201d said Susie Ellis, GWI Chair & CEO. \u201cBut with that growth comes an even greater responsibility to separate evidence from hype. Wellness Evidence was created to make the science behind wellness transparent, credible, and accessible to all and, ten years later, it\u2019s more essential than ever. The addition of AI tools now allows anyone\u2014from doctors to journalists to everyday wellness seekers\u2014to navigate the research landscape with confidence and clarity.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the upcoming Global Wellness Summit<\/a>, taking place November 18\u201321 in Dubai, Wellness Evidence will be spotlighted in a special panel discussion featuring Susie Ellis, Dr. Kenneth R. Pelletier (Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of California), Beth McGroarty (GWS VP of Research & Forecasting), and Jane Kitchen (Media & Trends Analyst, GWS). The session will explore how scientific validation and digital access are driving the next evolution of the wellness industry, bridging the gap between evidence, innovation and trust.<\/p>\n

Dr. Pelletier served as one of the original key medical consultants for Wellness Evidence\u2019s launch a decade ago, helping shape the portal, selecting the databases and ensuring the research process aligned with the medical establishment\u2019s use of evidence-based medicine.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince its launch in 2015, Wellness Evidence has served as a trusted resource for researchers and practitioners around the world,\u201d said Dr. Pelletier. \u201cIn the past decade, we\u2019ve seen a clear shift: wellness practices once considered \u2018alternative\u2019 are now being validated through rigorous scientific inquiry. By making this research easily accessible, Wellness Evidence helps bridge the gap between clinical medicine and evidence-based wellness.\u201d<\/p>\n
