Perks with Purpose: Using Your Benefits to Support Wellness

Written by BenefitHub Director | September 15, 2025

Your body and mind do so much for you. They carry you through early mornings, long days, late nights, and everything in between. They show up—even when you’re tired, overwhelmed, or unsure. And while they work overtime for you, it’s easy to forget that they need care too. Real care. The kind that’s consistent, intentional, and built into your daily life. 

Mental wellness isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. In fact, 92% of working Americans say it’s important to work for organizations that value their emotional and psychological well‑being (1). With benefits like those offered through BenefitHub, you’re already armed with tools to support both your body and mind—without stretching your time or wallet thin. 

 

Move Your Body, Nourish Your Brain 

You don’t have to be a marathon runner or a CrossFit champion to get moving. Movement is personal. It can be yoga in your living room, a stroll through the park, or a strength class that challenges you just enough to feel proud afterward. 

 

Translation? Moving your body helps keep your mind sharp. It's not just about abs or endurance—it's about mental clarity, emotional balance, and staying present. 

With BenefitHub, you can save up to 40% on fitness options that suit your style. From national gym memberships to online yoga and Pilates platforms, there’s something for every schedule and comfort level. Your mental health will thank you. 

Therapy Isn’t a Last Resort—It’s a Lifeline 

In a survey done by Thriveworks, 23% of survey respondents are currently seeing a therapist and 43% plan to see a therapist within the next 12 months (3). Life is full of stress, transitions, loss, growth—sometimes all at once. Therapy gives your mind the space to stretch, reset, and process. It’s like a workout for your emotional health. 

Even short-term therapy can have long-term benefits. Studies show that just a few months of talking with a licensed therapist can lead to better stress management, improved relationships, and increased self-esteem. 

If you’ve been curious but hesitant, this could be the perfect time to take that first step. For example, BenefitHub offers 30-40% off the world’s largest online therapy platform. That’s a powerful way to invest in yourself. 

Fuel Your Mind and Body with Better Choices 

Mental wellness isn’t just about what you do—it's also about what you consume. The food you eat, the supplements you take, the way you fuel your body—it all impacts how you feel, think, and show up. 

Through BenefitHub, you can take small, realistic steps toward healthier habits: 

  • Save on multivitamins and supplements tailored to your goals. 
  • Access up to 75% off healthy eating plans. 
  • Get discounts on grocery delivery and meal subscription services, making it easier to stay on track even during your busiest weeks. 

You’re not expected to go from zero to kale smoothies overnight. But when it’s more convenient (and affordable) to make better choices, those little shifts add up—and your mind and body reap the benefits.  

Final Thoughts: This Is About You 

Let’s be real—taking care of yourself isn’t always easy. You’re juggling a lot. But self-care doesn’t have to be some extravagant or time-consuming task. Sometimes, it just means using the resources already at your fingertips. 

BenefitHub was built to support you. Not just in your job, but in your life. It’s packed with tools and perks that empower you to live better, feel better, and be your best self—mentally, physically, and emotionally. 

So, whether it’s a morning stretch, a therapy session, or finally signing up for that healthy meal plan, know this: you deserve to feel good. You deserve wellness that fits your life. 

Let your benefits work for you. Start exploring your portal today. This isn’t just about saving money. It’s about investing in you—because you’re worth it.
