Biomaxing

Biomaxing is the practice of maximizing biological health through organic routines that sustain your body in its optimal operating envelope. Health follows the Pareto Principle in that 80% of the results come from focusing on the most important 20%.

The idea is simple.
Every single molecule, cell, and system in your body is created or maintained by only 3 inputs:

  • What you ingest
  • What you absorb
  • What you inhale

Maximize the quality of these inputs and your body will naturally maximize itself.

Ingestion

  • Eat real food
  • Drink purified, remineralized water
  • Minimize seed oils (canola/vegetable, soybean, peanut, sunflower)
  • Minimize refined sugars (high-fructose corn syrup, glucose-fructose, sucrose)
  • Minimize contact between food and hormone-disrupting plastics/chemicals
    • replace plastic food storage containers with glass
    • replace plastic water bottles with stainless steel or glass
    • replace plastic kitchen utensils with wood, silicone, or stainless steel
    • use pots and pans made with high quality stainless steel
    • use non-stick sparingly at moderate temperatures when required (eggs etc.)
    • plastics are least harmful when:
      • storing dry or solid foods
      • used at room temperature or below
  • Fast for 24-72 hours; ideally annually but at least every 3 years
    • Activates autophagy to clean up & recycle damaged/unhealthy cells
    • Increases regenerative stem cell activity
    • Releases growth hormone (HGH)
    • Improves insulin response and blood sugar balance

Absorption

  • Go outside
  • Expose eyes to morning and evening sun in regular but reasonable doses
  • Expose skin to midday sun in regular but reasonable doses
  • Brush teeth with nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste to rebuild enamel
  • Replace body wash and hand soaps with natural liquid castile soap
  • Minimize exposure to hormone-disrupting chemicals in personal care products
    • Shampoo, lotion/cream, face wash, makeup, hair products, fragrances, laundry detergent
  • Minimize exposure to hormone-disrupting plastic fabrics
    • Plastic fabrics: polyester, spandex/elastane, nylon, fleece
    • Natural fabrics: cotton, wool, linen, silk
    • Semi-natural fabrics: rayon/viscose, Modal, Tencel/lyocell

Inhalation

  • Move
  • Go outside
  • Besides exertion or congestion, most breathing should be done through the nose 
    • Mouth breathing has detrimental effects on dental/oral health, face structure, and sleep
    • Nose breathing is the evolutionary default and produces beneficial nitric oxide
    • Resting position for tongue should be pressed against palate (roof) as if saying the letter 'n'
    • Consider mouth taping if unable to retain proper posture while sleeping
  • Minimize inhaling volatile chemicals from unnecessary cleaning products
    • Use (diluted) castile soap spray to clean oil-based grime
      • Dishes, sink, counters, cooktops, appliances
      • Use standard dish soap for tough grease
    • Use vinegar spray for limescale and non-oily grime
      • Shower, toilet, sink, mirrors/glass, chrome/steel fixtures
