Physical Sovereignty is the comprehensive state where an individual maintains complete autonomy and optimal control over their somatic structure, metabolic regulation, and physical performance capacity. This implies that the body’s physiological set points are maintained by internal regulatory mechanisms responding appropriately to environmental demands, rather than being driven by chronic pathology. It is the realization of physiological self-governance.
Origin
‘Sovereignty’ originates from the Latin ‘superanus,’ meaning supreme, applied here to the physical domain to denote ultimate authority and command over one’s own bodily processes. This concept is aspirational in health optimization.
Mechanism
This level of control is supported by highly responsive endocrine feedback loops, where anabolic signaling remains dominant over catabolic signaling under appropriate conditions. Maintaining optimal body composition and efficient energy utilization through metabolic flexibility ensures that the physical structure operates reliably without external or pathological interference.
