Non-Essential Wellness

Meaning

Non-Essential Wellness refers to health and well-being practices, interventions, or metrics that, while potentially beneficial for optimizing performance or subjective quality of life, are not strictly required for the maintenance of fundamental physiological function or the prevention of acute, life-threatening disease. This category distinguishes advanced optimization efforts from core clinical interventions necessary to correct frank pathology or deficiency. It acknowledges the pursuit of peak human function beyond baseline health.
