Resilience. Biology. Meaning.
The Science of Letting Go is a critical theory project and long-form newsletter exploring the relationship between evidence, autonomy, and design in medicine, public health, and systems thinking.
It is a research-driven, physician-led inquiry into how complexity is managed, simplified, or erased in the way we now speak about health, ambiguity, and uncertainty. This is not a wellness brand.
The essays examine metabolic interventions, regulatory failure, overdiagnosis, digital health, and structural harm, always in service of restoring biological literacy, trust, integrity, and agency.
Each piece is informed by human clinical evidence, lived experience, and systems design. There are no hacks. No scripts. No hype and empty optimization. Just clarity and honesty.
