New Year, New Foods: Health Experts Reveal 2025’s Top Nutrition Trends

As the new year begins, many people look to reset their eating habits — and experts say some food trends are healthier than others. Registered dietitian Julia Zumpano with the Cleveland Clinic predicts mushrooms like reishi and lion’s mane will rise in popularity for their stress-fighting and immune-boosting benefits. Gut health remains a major focus, with probiotics, prebiotics, and resistant starches leading the way. Zumpano also expects smaller portion sizes influenced by GLP-1 weight-loss medications, balanced meals with protein and fiber, and a growing emphasis on omega-3-rich foods for brain health and inflammation reduction.
