Why Most Health & Wellness Businesses Struggle With Content (And What to Do About It)

April 21, 2025

wellness marketing brand content creation

Creating content as a wellness business owner can feel like a full-time job in itself. You have ideas, passion, and expertise—but actually turning all of that into consistent, strategic content?

That’s where many health & wellness entrepreneurs hit a wall.

If you’ve ever felt stuck staring at a blank screen, unsure of what to post or how to market yourself without burning out—you’re not alone.

Let’s break down why content creation feels so hard for so many in the wellness space—and the shifts that will help you create with more ease, clarity, and alignment.

1. You’re Too Close to Your Expertise

You live and breathe wellness—so it’s easy to forget that your audience doesn’t.

When you’re so immersed in your knowledge, it can be hard to know what content your audience actually needs or what level they’re at. You might overcomplicate things or skip over the basics they’re craving.

The shift:

Zoom out. Start answering the questions you get asked most often. Break down your process into bite-sized tips. Focus on meeting your ideal clients where they are—not where you are now.

2. You’re Trying to Do It All From Scratch

Many wellness business owners try to reinvent the wheel with every post—leading to content fatigue and burnout.

The shift:

Use systems. Reuse themes. Batch your content when possible. Templates, calendars, and prompt banks are your best friend (hello, Wellness Social Toolkit).

You don’t have to start from zero every time you sit down to create. Build a go-to content strategy that supports your energy and your message.

3. You’re Lacking a Clear Content Strategy

If you don’t have clarity on what you’re selling, who you’re talking to, and what your content is supposed to do—it’s hard to create anything that sticks.

The shift:

Start with your goals. Is your content meant to build trust? Generate leads? Educate? Sell?

Then reverse-engineer your content pillars (the main themes that align with your brand and services) and plan accordingly. Strategy always beats scrambling.

4. You’re Stuck in the “Shoulds”

Should I be dancing on Reels? Should I post 7 days a week? Should I be on 3 platforms?

The pressure to do what everyone else is doing leads to burnout—and content that feels disconnected from your brand.

The shift:

Lean into what feels aligned. If you love talking, maybe podcast-style videos or lives are your sweet spot. If you love writing, blog posts and carousels might work better. Authenticity wins over trends—every time.

5. You’re Not Creating With Your Ideal Client in Mind

Many wellness pros unknowingly create content for their peers—or themselves—instead of their ideal client.

The shift:

Get clear on who you’re talking to. What are they struggling with? What results are they looking for? What language do they use?

Create content that speaks to them and shows that you understand where they’re coming from—and where they want to go.

6. You Don’t Have Time to Be Consistent

You’re running a business, supporting clients, and wearing 10 hats. Of course content falls to the bottom of your to-do list.

The shift:

Prioritize what’s sustainable. You don’t need to be everywhere—you just need to be consistent somewhere. Start with one platform. One post per week. One solid system. Then build from there.
