health optimization
Peak condition pursuit
Health optimization is the practice of actively improving physical and mental well-being beyond merely treating illness—pursuing peak performance through diet, exercise, sleep, supplements, and lifestyle adjustments.
The term belongs to wellness culture and biohacking communities, where adherents track metrics and experiment with interventions: His health optimization routine includes cold plunges and intermittent fasting.
Critics note the concept can slide into obsessive self-monitoring or expensive pseudoscience.
