6 Health and Wellness Brands That Excel in Social Media Marketing
Traditionally, being healthy meant a diet inspired by the food pyramid, regular exercise, and doctor’s check-ups – but today, people are living longer and working for longer.
This societal shift has changed everything. Thanks to modern technology, all that we need to monitor, maintain, and improve our health is instantly accessible. Every step we take (or don’t take) can be tracked, and the Nutrition Facts panel is now a staple of consumer reading.
For brands in the multi-trillion dollar health and wellness industry, the potential is clear. Consumers want to meet their health goals in personal, meaningful ways. On social, health and wellness brands can inspire and motivate these consumers to do exactly that.
Here are six health and wellness brands that excel in social media marketing – as determined by Sprinklr Business Index® (SBI®), which measures and analyzes the breadth of public interactions between brands and consumers across social media.

Baylor Scott & White
As the largest not-for-profit healthcare system in Texas, Baylor Scott & White is pretty well respected in the health and wellness space. It’s also a great brand to watch in the social media marketing space.
On X, formerly Twitter, Baylor Scott & White posts multiple updates per day related to healthy habits, new research, and even current events.
The account is a trusted resource for people looking for a daily dose of wellness inspiration, as well as guidance on preparing for upcoming doctor’s appointments.
Its X, formerly Twitter feed covers everything from the importance of flu vaccinations, to understanding how different foods and diets can impact overall health. These are top-of-mind issues for many readers, so having that constant stream of information coming from a medical source makes for an engaging social strategy.
Weight Watchers
Weight Watchers helps people manage their weight by adopting a healthier lifestyle and a healthier relationship with food and exercise. Through an online subscription and over 45,000 global weekly meetings, members receive the coaching, tools, and nutritional advice they need to “Live Life Fully”.
On social, the brand shares regular motivational content. This inspires people to be proud of the progress they’ve made in reaching their personal goals.
Success stories are another huge part of Weight Watchers’ social output. When people see the achievements of others, their doubts fade and the impossible begins to seem very much possible.

Through an engaging mixture of information and inspiration, health and wellness brands can help consumers live their very best lives.
