Subtractive Optimization

Meaning

Subtractive Optimization is a strategic clinical approach that prioritizes the identification and removal or mitigation of physiological inhibitors and burdens before introducing new, additive interventions. This involves systematically eliminating sources of physiological drag, such as chronic inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, low-grade infections, or environmental toxins, to restore the body’s baseline functional capacity. The underlying principle is that the most effective way to optimize a system is often to remove what is hindering its innate performance, thereby allowing the internal intelligence to flourish.
