TribeTeam
Building TribElle in 2025 gave us a window into how women's health is fundamentally shifting.
Through all our conversations, consultations, and interactions, we've learned what drives healthcare decisions: a commitment to medical integrity, honest conversations, and care that truly listens.
Here's what we believe will define healthcare in 2026, across weight management, hormones, pain relief, sexual health, and wellbeing.
1
Weight Loss: From Willpower to Medical Care
The shift: Weight loss as chronic disease management
Our data is clear: weight loss isn't about fitting into smaller clothes. The top drivers were confidence, mobility, and long-term health protection. This aligns with NICE's recognition of obesity as a chronic condition requiring ongoing medical support.
What's coming in 2026:
✓ More demand for clinically supervised programmes
✓ Focus on maintenance and sustainability, not quick fixes
✓ Patients seeking continuity of care, not one-off prescriptions
🚀
Game changer: Oral weight loss medication
Eli Lilly's oral weight loss tablet, expected to be available in 2026, could reshape everything.
An oral option means:
- Lower barrier to entry for injection-averse patients
- Better long-term adherence
- Earlier intervention for people at the start of their weight journey
But it also raises the stakes for responsible prescribing. More access means greater need for education, monitoring, and realistic expectations.
2
HRT & Menopause: Personalised, Proactive, Normalised
The shift: Menopause as mainstream healthcare
Women citing perimenopause and menopause-related weight changes in our study isn't surprising, it reflects a larger cultural moment. Women are done being dismissed.
What's coming in 2026:
✓ Personalised HRT that treats the whole symptom picture, not just hot flushes
✓ Women seeking help earlier, during perimenopause, not in crisis
✓ Education-led care through webinars, community spaces, and real clinical conversations
Silence around menopause is ending. The demand for informed, compassionate care is only growing.
3
Migraine Relief: Beyond "Just Take Painkillers"
The shift: Migraine as a neurological condition
Migraine isn't a bad headache. It's a complex neurological issue that intersects with hormones, stress, sleep, and metabolic health, especially for women in midlife.
What's coming in 2026:
✓ Greater use of preventative therapies
✓ Prescribing that considers hormonal patterns
✓ Integrated care combining medication, lifestyle changes, and trigger management
Patients want long-term relief, not short-term fixes.
4
Period Pain Relief: Stop Normalising, Start Treating
The shift: Period pain taken seriously
Debilitating period pain is not "just part of being a woman." Endometriosis, fibroids, and hormonal imbalances deserve investigation and treatment, not dismissal.
What's coming in 2026:
✓ Increased demand for effective, evidence-based pain management
✓ Proactive investigation of underlying causes
✓ An end to "just deal with it" messaging
Our data shows women want treatments that restore function, not just dull symptoms.
5
Sexual Health: Confidence, Comfort, Quality of Life
The shift: Sexual health as wellbeing, not embarrassment
STIs, libido changes, vaginal dryness, pain, and confidence issues, particularly during hormonal transitions, are finally being treated as legitimate health concerns with more accessibility to medication.
What's coming in 2026:
✓ More openness around female sexual health
✓ Discreet, safe access to treatments
✓ Sexual health integrated into menopause and wellbeing care
Women are whole people, not isolated symptoms. Care should reflect that.
6
Wellbeing, Lifestyle & Fitness: Function Over Aesthetics
The shift: Health as capability, not appearance
This might be our most important finding: people want to move better, feel stronger, and live more comfortably.
What's coming in 2026:
✓ Emphasis on mobility, strength, and joint health
✓ Fitness framed around longevity, not aesthetics
✓ Sustainable routines that support hormonal and metabolic health
Weight loss, fitness, nutrition, and mental health are converging into one integrated conversation.
Looking Ahead
The future of women's health isn't about flashier marketing or bolder promises. It's about trust, evidence, and accessibility.
Our 2025 data proves people are ready for:
