NEXT Trends 2020 series: In an effort to help support retailers and brands, we will be publishing regular brand features for the next few weeks. Brands are selected from those that registered to exhibit at Natural Products Expo West 2020 and were curated as great examples of one of 50 trends New Hope Network is monitoring in the marketplace.

These trends are part of New Hope Network's NEXT Expo Guidebook and trend hierarchy.

Today, we look at five companies that are innovating in the "Healing Diets" trend within the A Life of Vitality macro force. Alternative to the Optimized Diets trend, consumers are seeking diets that heal because they are aiming to resolve health issues with diets that reduce triggers.
