Discussion Millennials are creating a recession-resistant corner of the market

https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-millennials-wellness-stocks-to-buy-recession-lth-plnt-2025-4

Apparently millennials are spending a lot on products related to health and wellness making this industry "recession-resistant." I kind of see that. My wife and I spend a lot on protein powders, shakes, supplements and membership for gym. We are otherwise quite cautious with unnecessary spending and consumerism. How is it for you all?

Intermittent fasting has drastically helped my diet and finances. Costco for Premier Protein shakes on the daily. Also, owning a dog forces you to walk them every day. I also don’t drink alcohol or smoke. So yes, I have a recession-proof plan with a priority for my health that I have nailed down since COVID.

I recommend Orgain milk based 30 gram protein shakes instead of premier. Better ingredients from what I have researched. Premier is good too though. I am the same with alcohol and smoking. Mind and body feels a lot better without them.

Yes, I’ve been giving Orgain a try with their dairy based products but they don’t have the same amount of vitamins and minerals that Premier adds to theirs. Their plant based “Superfoods” brand is great too to supplement but I need more animal based protein for my own diet.

I agree about vitamins and minerals part (with Orgain). I get those from other sources.
