A Reflection on 2025 & Looking Ahead to 2026

As I look back on 2025, I’m filled with gratitude for how far You Vites has come - and for the people who made that growth possible. This past year was about laying strong foundations: refining our formulations, strengthening our commitment to quality, and continuing to show up with intention in a crowded wellness space. Building a brand rooted in trust isn’t fast or flashy work, but it’s meaningful - and it’s work I’m incredibly proud of.

One of the most exciting milestones of 2025 was planning to open our new office in downtown Wadsworth, Ohio. What started as an idea has become a physical space that represents who we are and where we’re going. This move wasn’t just about square footage; it was about planting deeper roots in our community and creating a place where education, innovation, and connection can thrive. Being downtown has already opened new conversations, new relationships, and new opportunities - and that energy has been inspiring. 

As we step into 2026, our goals are both focused and ambitious. We’re committed to expanding our product offerings thoughtfully, continuing to prioritize clinically backed ingredients, and elevating the customer experience across every touchpoint - from formulation to packaging to education. We’re also excited to grow our testing and wellness services, because true wellness starts with understanding your body, not guessing.

Most importantly, 2026 is about staying aligned with our mission: empowering people to make informed decisions about their health. Thank you for trusting You Vites, for asking thoughtful questions, and for being part of this journey. I can’t wait to see what we build together next.
