FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, July 18, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Brian Gould, CEO of TruLife Distribution, is offering a clear perspective on the future of the global wellness industry. His experience in brand development, product distribution, and market strategy has made him a trusted voice among wellness professionals. As trends shift and consumer expectations evolve, Gould believes the next growth phase will depend on focus, clarity, and responsible innovation.

Gould has worked with hundreds of wellness and beauty brands worldwide. He sees the wellness market moving into a more mature stage. According to Gould, the industry is now shaped by increased regulation, rising consumer skepticism, and a demand for greater transparency. For many brands, success will come not from expansion alone but from building trust and delivering
measurable value.

"Many companies are still trying to win attention through bold claims and surface-level branding," said Gould. "But customers are asking better questions. They want to see where ingredients come from. They want testing data. They want companies that lead with honesty and consistency."

Consumer Trust Will Be the Main Currency
Gould explains that product quality is only one part of the equation. Many consumers now base their buying decisions on a brand's ethics, sourcing practices, and mission. He sees this shift as a wake-up call for wellness companies that have relied too heavily on generic language or vague marketing promises.

"Terms like 'clean' or 'natural' do not mean much without proof," said Gould. "The brands that stand out will be those that educate their customers and back up every claim with evidence. People are reading labels and asking questions. It's not enough to sound good. You have to be good."
He encourages companies to focus on third-party certifications, transparent manufacturing, and traceable supply chains. These practices are no longer optional. They are now expected by consumers who want to support brands that align with their values.

Wellness Brands Must Prepare for a Crowded Market
As more wellness products enter the market each year, Gould believes that differentiation has never been more critical. He points out that many products look and sound alike, making it harder for consumers to choose.

"Too many brands offer similar ingredients and similar stories," said Gould. "To survive long term, companies must have a unique identity. That includes a clear mission, a relatable founder, and a reason to exist beyond profit."

He believes that brand loyalty will come from a real connection. Customers want to support businesses that reflect their priorities: sustainability, community health, or mental wellness. Building a relationship with the consumer will take more than packaging. It will take purpose.

U.S. Entry Remains a Tough but Valuable Goal
Gould works closely with international brands seeking to enter the U.S. wellness market. He often sees well-intentioned companies underestimate the process. He explains that entering the U.S. involves more than launching a website or setting up an online store.

"Success in the U.S. takes strategy and preparation," said Gould. "Companies need to understand FDA regulations. They need to set up proper logistics and fulfillment. They need a way to reach both retailers and consumers."

He also advises against relying entirely on online sales. While digital platforms are essential, he believes retail partnerships and in-store visibility are valuable. The brands that balance online and offline strategies will be strongest.

Wellness and Social Responsibility Must Work Together
Gould believes wellness is not just a product category; it reflects society's priorities. Through the Brian Gould Foundation, he supports recovery programs, mental health services, and humanitarian efforts around the world. He sees these efforts as closely connected to his business work.

"True wellness includes access, education, and support," said Gould. "It goes beyond vitamins and skincare. It touches how we live, how we care for others, and how we make a difference."

He encourages brands to think about impact as part of their core identity. Wellness companies, he says, have a unique opportunity to lead by example.
