Optimizing-Humans
It's time to be the best you
Get to grips with the basics
When it comes to becoming healthier, stronger, and more capable, it is easy to assume the answers are hidden in complexity. The perfect plan, the latest breakthrough, the thing you have not tried yet. In reality, real change begins with the fundamentals. When sleep, movement, and nutrition are in place, you are already around 80% of the way there. These basics create the energy, resilience, and clarity that make progress possible in the first place.
Optimizing Humans is here to help you build that foundation with intention, and then show you how to elevate it. We focus on mastering the essentials, then layering in the extra 20% that helps you perform better, feel sharper, and live more fully. And we come back to the basics often, because becoming your best self is not about constant reinvention, it is about building something solid and continuing to refine it over time.

Gut health, and gut bacteria in particular play an enormous role in our day to day lives. Having a good, diverse gut biome helps to control weight, food cravings and increases energy levels. Find out more, it will surprise you.
Where Good Becomes Better
Once the foundations are solid, you have earned the right to optimise. This is where curiosity meets intention. Supplements that support longevity, tools that sharpen focus, strategies that improve recovery, and systems that help you perform at a higher level for longer. Not because you are broken, but because you want more from a body and mind that are already working well.
This additional 20% is about playing at the edges in a smart way. Exploring what genuinely enhances energy, resilience, clarity, and healthspan, and leaving the hype behind. It is inspired by the ambition of modern biohacking and grounded in real-world wisdom. The aim is not obsession or extremes, but momentum. Small advantages, stacked over time, that help you feel stronger, think clearer, and live with purpose. Build the base, then raise the ceiling.

The Human Layer - For the life behind the metrics
The Human Layer is for you. Not the version of you chasing numbers, streaks, or perfect routines, but the person underneath it all. The one who wants to feel steadier, clearer, and more in control of their own life again. This is where we talk about mental health, fertility, stress, hormones, and wellbeing, not as abstract topics, but as real experiences that shape how you feel when you wake up each day and how much you believe change is possible.
This space exists to support the life behind your metrics. To remind you that you are allowed to slow down, reassess, and start again without judgement. You do not need to fix everything at once, and you do not need to become someone else to move forward. With the right understanding and the right focus, small shifts begin to stack up. Confidence returns. Momentum builds. And progress starts to feel human, achievable, and yours.
