Optimize

What if we've been looking at health from only one side?

Modern medicine has taught us an extraordinary amount about chemistry.

Hormones. Nutrients. Genes. Neurotransmitters. Metabolism.

But biology doesn't happen in isolation.

Every cell exists in relationship with its environment.

Light helps synchronize our circadian biology.

Water creates the molecular environment in which life unfolds.

Electrical gradients are fundamental to cellular function.

Mechanical forces move through our tissues.

Sound can be translated into biological signals.

And our nervous system continuously senses and responds to the world around us.

Chemistry matters. But it isn't the whole story.

Optimize invites you into a broader view of human biology that explores the relationships between energy, information, environment and physiology.

This is the body before chemistry.

Nine chapters with one interconnected view of health.

CHAPTER 1
Quantum Biology Explained

What is quantum biology and what might it teach us about human health?

Begin with the foundations of this emerging field and explore how processes at the smallest scales of biology may influence the way living systems function.

CHAPTER 2
Tending the Water Within

Water is the environment in which nearly every biological process occurs.

Explore hydration, water at biological interfaces and emerging ideas about how the organization and behavior of water may influence living systems.

CHAPTER 3
Supporting Our Liquid Crystal Networks

Explore the highly ordered structures within biology including cell membranes, DNA and connective tissues—and how their physical properties contribute to organization, signaling and function.

CHAPTER 4
Optimizing Our Electric Body

Life depends on electricity.

Discover membrane potentials, ion movement, charge and bioelectric signaling—and why electrical processes are fundamental from the cellular level upward.

CHAPTER 5
Aligning with the Light

Light is one of biology's most important environmental signals.

Explore how the light-dark cycle interacts with circadian rhythms, hormones, metabolism, sleep, mitochondria and health.

CHAPTER 6
Enriching Our Synchronicity

Human biology evolved within the rhythms of the natural world.

Explore our relationship with nature, seasons, movement, environmental signals and the daily rhythms that help organize physiology.

CHAPTER 7
Cultivating Coherence

Health is relational.

Explore sound, stress physiology, trauma, nervous-system regulation and the ways our relationships with ourselves and others influence the body.

CHAPTER 8
Nurturing Our Symbiotic Nature

You are an ecosystem.

Explore the microbiome, immune system and the dynamic relationship between our internal microbial communities and the environments in which we live.

CHAPTER 9
Past Present Future of Quantum Biology

Where does this emerging perspective take us next?

Explore the meeting place between modern science, long-held observations about nature and a more interconnected understanding of living systems.

What People Are Saying

"This is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the body not as a machine, but as a luminous, interconnected, intelligent system designed for synchronicity, coherence, and vitality."

— Deanna Minich, PhD, Nutrition Scientist, Functional Medicine Educator and Author of The Rainbow Diet

“A brilliant and important contribution to the emerging electric-vibrational model of health.”

— Eileen Day McKusick, Author of Electric Body, Electric Health and Founder of Biofield Tuning

“Dr Catherine Clinton’s book Optimize is a rare blend of science and wisdom, offering the reader a crystal-clear plan to health and longevity.”

— John Stuart Reid, Acoustic Physicist and Creator of the CymaScope

“The future of health and wellness is quantum biology and Catherine is the current thought leader in the space. Her work opened my eyes to how true health is found at the cellular level.”

— Kashif Khan, Best selling author of THE DNA WAY, Founder of The DNA Company and 2 times Tedx speaker.
