More Wellness Activities, but Not Everyone Feels Healthier, Herbalife Survey Finds

Quick Read

What Readers Should Know

Herbalife reports that Filipino survey respondents are participating in more wellness activities, but smaller proportions report improved physical, mental, and emotional health. The findings also identify demand for additional support.

Key Takeaways

  • Seventy-six percent report a wider variety of wellness activities.
  • Seventy-four percent participate more frequently than three years ago.
  • Fifty-eight percent report better physical health.
  • Respondents also want more mental and emotional health support.
  • The results reflect self-reported experiences, not clinical assessments.

The company’s Philippine findings point to a gap between growing participation and self-reported improvements in well-being.

More Filipino respondents are making time for wellness, but fewer report corresponding improvements in how they feel, according to findings shared by Herbalife from its Asia Pacific Wellness Culture Survey 2026.

The company reports that 76% of Filipino respondents engage in a wider variety of wellness activities, while 74% participate more frequently than three years ago.

However, the proportions reporting better physical, mental, and emotional health were lower—suggesting that increased activity does not always translate into a perceived improvement in well-being.

What Respondents Reported

Survey findingFilipino respondents
Participate in a wider variety of wellness activities76%
Participate more frequently74%
Report better physical health58%
Report better mental health61%
Report better emotional health59%

The findings concern respondents’ own assessments. They are not clinical measurements and do not establish why some people experienced improvements while others did not.

Herbalife’s regional survey announcement says the research was conducted in May 2026 among more than 10,000 respondents across 11 Asia Pacific markets, including the Philippines.

Support Remains a Priority

The Philippine findings also identify demand for more support: 73% want help with physical health, 55% with mental health, and 50% with emotional health.

Kinki Lau, General Manager of Herbalife Philippines, said maintaining momentum requires guidance, motivation, and accessible wellness education.

The company argues that families, workplaces, and community groups can help people sustain routines. Its release points to running clubs, pickleball groups, digital communities, and Herbalife Nutrition Clubs as examples of shared wellness spaces.

Those examples illustrate the company’s approach; the survey does not establish that any particular community or commercial program produces better health outcomes.

Participation Is Only Part of the Story

The findings suggest a practical question for wellness initiatives: beyond encouraging people to start, what helps them continue?

Time, motivation, and access to support remain important concerns in the company’s account. For organizations developing wellness programs, the message is to consider those everyday barriers alongside participation.

The survey presents growing interest in well-being—and a continuing need to understand whether people feel supported in maintaining it.
