The intentional, structured creation of daily habits and environmental inputs specifically engineered to promote endocrine harmony, metabolic efficiency, and neurocognitive health over the long term. This is the application of physiological science to daily structure.
Origin
This concept merges behavioral science with functional physiology, recognizing that optimal health requires proactive architectural planning of one’s environment and routine, rather than reactive symptom management.
Mechanism
Design focuses on aligning lifestyle factors—sleep timing, nutrient intake patterns, and stress exposure—with the body’s inherent circadian and hormonal rhythms. For example, structuring nutrient delivery to support post-exercise anabolic signaling while ensuring adequate dark exposure supports melatonin production for cellular repair. This alignment minimizes allostatic load and maximizes endocrine responsiveness.
