The Quiet Intelligence of the Dancefloor

A BioSurrender™ Christmas survival guide for holobionts, mitochondria, and anyone renegotiating life with adaptive energy

“Music is a collective experience. It’s not about me, it’s about what happens between us.” - Jon Batiste

It’s December.

The month when fairy lights are deployed like a civic duty and every social calendar quietly assumes you are operating on a frictionless, fully charged nervous system with no sensory limits, no recovery debt, and an elastic tomorrow.

You know the invitations.

“Come out.” “It’ll be good for you.” “You just need to get back out there.”

There is something subtly coercive about there.

As if it is neutral. As if it does not come bundled with noise, lights, alcohol pressure, performative cheer, late nights, disrupted sleep, and the unspoken expectation that you will remain upright, presentable, and pleasantly responsive until someone else decides the night is over.

As if nightlife, work culture, or even Christmas itself was ever designed for any body other than the imagined default. The endlessly available adult. The one with reliable energy, low sensory sensitivity, and a metabolism that treats disruption as character building rather than catastrophic.

If you are living with ME or CFS, Long COVID, post viral fatigue, burnout, trauma recovery, grief, chronic pain, chronic stress, or neurodivergent sensory processing, you will recognise what happens before you even reply.

There is a pause. A scan. A quiet internal accounting exercise.

How loud will it be. How long will it run. Is there somewhere to sit. Can I leave without it becoming a thing. Is this safe socially, physically, energetically. Will I be read as difficult, fragile, or a vibe liability rather than a person making intelligent decisions.

This is not overthinking. This is biology doing risk assessment. A perfectly adaptive response shaped by stress physiology, nervous system learning, and cumulative allostatic load (McEwen, 2007; McEwen and Akil, 2020).

And this blog is here to offer a different frame for Christmas parties, New Year resets, and the entire cultural insistence on “getting back out there”.

Not push through. Not prove you are fine.

But: BioSurrender.

Create conditions. Collect valid new 'experiencing' data. Choose micro emergence. Let your mitochondria lead.

And it you gave up the social scene some time ago, or work and or relationships - that is also valid experiencing based on old data 'priors' - and maybe this blog is a seed sown to show that there is more energy available when you reimagine yourself as a Holobiont?

“A holobiont is not an individual, but a community. Life is shaped not in isolation, but in relationship.” - Lynn Margulis

You are not one being

And this is not a metaphor

Let’s ground this properly, because misunderstanding it causes real harm.

You are a holobiont. A living ecosystem composed not only of human cells, but of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and microbial partners that influence immunity, metabolism, inflammation, mood, and resilience. In truth you are more 'other' cells than human. (Rosenberg et al., 2010; Gilbert, Sapp and Tauber, 2012).

Inside most of your cells live mitochondria.

Not hundreds. Not thousands. Quadrillions.

They produce ATP, the energy currency that pays for every thought you think, every breath you take, every immune response you mount, every tissue repair, every emotional regulation process you survive.

Mitochondria are not passive “powerhouses” in the GCSE poster sense. They are dynamic, sensing, signalling little overachievers, constantly taking notes on what is happening around them.

They run 'massively parallel processing systems', responding moment by moment to internal and external conditions, and stay in continuous conversation with the nervous system, immune system, endocrine network, microbiome, and the wider environment. Energy production shifts in real time, not because we willed it, but because the conditions changed (Picard & McEwen, 2018; Picard et al., 2014).

Once you really clock this, something else often arrives: a small sense of awe. You realise you are not operating alone inside your own body, nor are you personally failing. You are part of a collective field of coherence that is constantly adjusting, conserving, and expanding when it is safe to do so. Modern life has started to ask too much whilst at the same time offers too many hostile conditions for Mitochonfrial coherence (UPF's, 24/7 Hustle culture. Indoors lifetsyles, Systemic Trauma, Lack of fibre, too many antibiotics etc), Therefore energy is not something to be forced. It is something to be invited back, rhythm by rhythm in collab with your Mito cellular allies.

And we are all starting from different places.

“The unit of survival is the organism plus its environment.” - Gregory Bateson

Conditions such as ME/CFS and post-viral syndromes exist across mild, moderate, and severe presentations, with wide spectrums in between. Energy capacity fluctuates. What is possible one day may not be the next. Seen this way, recovery is not about racing back to a single baseline, but about finding your rhythm again wherever you happen to be standing.

Its important to note that Mitochondria respond to far more than calories or commands. They are constantly reading threat and safety, meaning and environment, rhythm and predictability. They notice patterns. Timing. Whether life feels coherent or chaotic. This is why rhythm matters, including the kinds often observed in Blue Zone cultures, not as dogma or rules to follow, but as gentle reminders that biology likes a sense of continuity. And even then, everyone remains entirely unique.

It also helps to remember just how ancient mitochondria are. They have been around for billions of years, older than all complex life on Earth. They evolved to read landscapes, to conserve energy under danger, and to expand only when conditions genuinely support survival. Our human consciousness does not sit above this system issuing instructions. It rides on it, and within it, moving through this shared MitoField™ of ATP possibilities.

So when capacity changes, this is not failure. It is information.

BioSurrender™ simply names this ecological intelligence. If energy is conserved, there is a reason. And if expansion is possible, it will come when conditions allow. From this perspective, surrender is not giving up at all. It is choosing to listen to what the system already knows how to do.

“Dance first. Think later. It’s the natural order.” - Samuel Beckett

“Fatigue” is a polite word for a system saying no

In everyday language, fatigue sounds manageable. Inconvenient. Something a strong coffee or better attitude might resolve.

In metabolic, post viral, and trauma mediated conditions, fatigue is a euphemism that obscures what is actually happening.

What is occurring is often a whole system protective downshift.

Across immunology, neurology, and metabolomics, researchers describe conserved biological responses to sustained threat, infection, or overload. One of the most widely referenced frameworks is the Cell Danger Response, which describes how cells reduce energy output and shift into defensive modes to preserve viability - Mitochondria are the CEOs of this function. (Naviaux, 2014; Naviaux et al., 2016).

When danger is perceived as ongoing:

• energy production is reduced

• repair and survival pathways dominate

• high output functions are rationed

In ME and CFS specifically, metabolomic studies describe a hypometabolic state resembling a dauer like survival response rather than simple exhaustion (Naviaux et al., 2016; Missailidis et al., 2020).

Plain English:

Your body has not failed you. Your body has chosen life.

Mitochondrial cloaking

A word I use deliberately. In the literature you will see phrases like metabolic downregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, autonomic imbalance, allostatic overload.

All accurate. All emotionally brutal.

So I use mitochondrial cloaking. Not as a medical diagnosis, but as a meaning making lens.

Cloaking implies:

• intelligence

• protection

• strategic withdrawal

• reversibility

Which aligns with evidence showing that mitochondria can reversibly alter ATP production, membrane potential, and signalling behaviour under chronic stress to preserve cellular integrity (Picard et al., 2014; Picard and McEwen, 2018).

Why does this matter?

Because the story you tell yourself becomes a biological signal.

Threat based narratives increase allostatic load.Safety based narratives reduce it (McEwen and Akil, 2020).

BioSurrender begins by changing the story we tell about the body.

BioSurrender:

Stop demanding energy.

Start creating conditions.

BioSurrender is not giving up.

It is stopping the war.

Mitochondria do not respond to force. They respond to cues of safety, choice, predictability, and appropriately dosed challenge (Picard and McEwen, 2018).

This is why rigid “push through” exercise prescriptions can be actively harmful for people with limited or fluctuating energy. Post exertional malaise is now formally recognised in ME and CFS guidelines, with pacing recommended over graded pressure (NICE NG206, 2021).

Movement is not the enemy. Unchosen, unsafe movement is.

When movement is voluntary, gentle, curiosity led, and reversible, it can support mitochondrial signalling and maintenance through mechanisms often described as hormesis or mitohormesis, when correctly dosed (Hood et al., 2019).

BioSurrender asks a different question to hustle culture.

Not how much can I do. But what conditions allow energy to emerge without collapse?

“We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams.” - Albert Einstein

Rhythm as regulation

Before clubs, there were fires.

Before queues, wristbands, and the quiet humiliation of Unisex toilets, humans were already doing something remarkably sophisticated. They were gathering.

Drummers in the centre. Intense movers holding the pulse. Elders seated at the edge. Children weaving in and out like embodied punctuation. Some people dancing hard. Some swaying. Some sitting, watching, regulating, belonging.

This was not performance. It was co regulation. Anthropology is clear on this. Ritual music and dance appear in every known human culture, particularly around healing, mourning, initiation, seasonal transition, and social repair (McNeill, 1995; Cross, 2009).

These were participatory fields, not stages with winners. And not everyone danced.

The field

Why being near the dancefloor still counts.

Modern science is now catching up with what our bodies already know.

Music and rhythm can synchronise heart rate, breathing, and autonomic nervous system activity; increase endorphins and oxytocin; reduce perceived pain; and strengthen social bonding (Thoma et al., 2013; Koelsch, 2014; Tarr et al., 2014).

Crucially, and this matters enormously for invisible and metabolic disabilities, you do not need to move intensely to receive these benefits.

Research on synchrony shows that simply being present within a rhythmic field can produce measurable physiological and psychological effects, even when participants engage at very different intensities (Tarr et al., 2014).

Translation: Sitting at the edge counts. Standing at the back counts. Watching counts. Leaving early counts.

Your mitochondria do not measure cool. They measure signal.

The freely factor

Why micro raving beats forced fitness.

Here is the part ableist culture struggles with.

It is not the movement. It is the freedom.

When movement is imposed, evaluated, or used as proof that you are “better now”, it becomes threat coded. It drains ATP and reinforces masking.

When movement is chosen, playful, curious, and reversible, it can soften protective bracing and open a small window of safety.

Even if you only nod your head. Even if you sway one hand like a polite Victorian ghost. Even if you just breathe with the bass. That counts.

Neuroscience research on improvisation and spontaneous movement shows reduced activity in regions associated with self monitoring and cognitive control, alongside increased self initiated processing. Less inner critic. More embodied presence (Limb and Braun, 2008).

BioSurrender translation:

Stop auditioning for the life you used to have. Start experimenting with the life that is emerging.

Those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

Ableism, extraction, and the catastrophic misreading of capacity

Here is the uncomfortable truth.

People often mistake visible joy for unlimited capacity.

“You went dancing so you can work full time then.”“You managed that so you must be better now.”

No.

Curiosity based movement in a safe context is not equivalent to sustained productivity extraction in unsafe systems.

Capacity is contextual, not characterological.

Disability justice frameworks remind us that disability is created by barriers, not bodies. That adaptation is intelligence, not weakness. That fluctuation is real (Oliver, 1990; Scope UK).

BioSurrender affirms:

• adaptations are bespoke

• cloaking is protective

• capacity fluctuates

• none of this requires justification

A gentle PSA for family and friends.

If someone tells you their capacity is limited, believe them. Your memory of who they used to be is not a diagnostic tool.

Make love, not war. And preferably make tea, not comments.

Christmas, New Year, and the myth of endless capacity

This time of year is particularly brutal for anyone living with variable energy.

Corporate parties. Word dos'. Family gatherings. Deadlines dressed up as celebration. New Year narratives that assume biology is a laptop awaiting reboot.

BioSurrender offers a quieter rebellion. You do not have to attend everything. You do not have to stay late. You do not have to explain your exits. An hour can be an energy window, not a failure, nor a waste of money. Emergence does not need fireworks. Sometimes it just needs bass, warmth, and permission.

Why club culture, EDI, and biophilic design belong together

And why this makes serious business sense

Let’s get one thing straight before we go any further.

Clubbing was never meant to be an endurance sport.It was meant to be a refuge.

A place you went when the rest of the world didn’t fit. A place where rules bent. Where bodies could move, rest, witness, flirt with aliveness again, or simply exist without being assessed.

Which is why it is quietly astonishing that modern nightlife sometimes forgets its own origin story.

Club culture did not start “cool”.It started necessary.

The roots: club culture as collective regulation

Most of the scenes that now underpin global club culture did not emerge from comfort or abundance.

They emerged from marginalisation, exclusion, and the need for collective nervous system regulation.

House music did not come from a branding brainstorm.It came from Black and Latino queer communities in Chicago in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with spaces like The Warehouse offering sanctuary when mainstream venues did not (Lawrence, 2004).

Techno did not arise because someone wanted to sell LEDs.It emerged from post-industrial Detroit, shaped by Black artists imagining futures beyond economic collapse and racial exclusion (Reynolds, 1998).

Garage, jungle, drum and bass, dub, grime.All carry similar DNA.Working-class creativity. Diasporic identity. Sound system culture. Survival through rhythm.

Even voguing, now endlessly commodified, was created by Black and Latino LGBTQ communities as a way to reclaim dignity, artistry, and safety when the wider world offered none (Bailey, 2013).

So when we talk about EDI in club culture, this is not an add-on.

It is a return to source.

“I am because we are.” - Maya Angelou (Ubuntu philosophy, frequently echoed in her work)

“But won’t accessibility kill the vibe?” Short answer: no. Long answer: also no.

There is a persistent anxiety in some nightlife circles that accommodating diverse bodies and capacities will somehow dilute intensity, edge, or cultural credibility.

History does not support this fear. Neither does economics.

The most respected club institutions in the world did not survive by being rigid. They survived by being adaptive.

The multi-use cultural venue is not radical - It is already the gold standard

Across Europe and beyond, the most resilient nightlife institutions operate as multi-use cultural spaces, not single-purpose nightclubs. This is not speculative. It is documented reality.

Berghain, Berlin - Frequently framed as a cultural institution rather than simply a club, Berghain has hosted exhibitions, performances, concerts, and talks alongside DJ programming. It is regularly cited in academic and cultural analysis as nightlife with institutional cultural capital (Kemp, 2019).

fabric, London - fabric is formally recognised by the Museum of London as part of the city’s cultural heritage. It survived prolonged licensing challenges precisely because it demonstrated value beyond alcohol sales (Museum of London archives).

De School, Amsterdam - Operating simultaneously as a club, café, restaurant, gallery, and cultural hub, De School became iconic because of diversification, not despite it. It is widely referenced in creative placemaking literature as a contemporary infrastructure model (Oosterling, 2020).

A brief regional reality check, because London clubbing is not the UK universe:

Motion, Bristol - Explicitly designed as a hireable cultural space, Motion hosts club nights, festivals, corporate events, arts programming, and community initiatives. Diversification strengthened its cultural and financial resilience.

The Warehouse Project, Manchester - A large-scale seasonal series demonstrating how warehouse culture can scale through partnerships, programming breadth, and cultural positioning without losing credibility.

The White Hotel, Manchester - shows how underground venues can stay culturally sharp while diversifying programming and operating hours, building loyal audiences and sustainable revenue without flattening the scene.

Beaver Works (Leeds) demonstrates how flexible, warehouse-scale programming and diverse audiences can coexist with strong commercial outcomes, using adaptability and scene credibility as economic strengths.

And yes its in London, but.....Printworks deserves its mention. Running from 2017 to 2023, it became globally iconic, diversified programming extensively, and closed due to redevelopment, not cultural failure. Its success proved appetite for ambitious, experience-led, multi-use spaces.

The pattern is clear.

Diversification does not dilute culture. It stabilises it.

“Dance is the hidden language of the soul.” - Martha Graham

Post-Covid reality

Bodies changed. Expectations changed. Markets changed.

Covid did not just interrupt nightlife.

It recalibrated bodies.

Post-viral illness, Long Covid, chronic fatigue, burnout, and nervous system dysregulation are no longer fringe experiences. They are now mainstream health realities (WHO, 2023).

At the same time:

• alcohol consumption patterns shifted

• demand for daytime and earlier events increased

•audiences became more intentional

• tolerance for unsafe or chaotic environments dropped

Eventbrite trend data shows sustained growth in daytime events, “soft clubbing,” and experience-led gatherings since the pandemic (Eventbrite, 2023).

The no- and low-alcohol market continues to expand globally, driven by health, inclusion, and generational change, matching or outperforming traditional alcohol in some categories (IWSR, 2023).

So the question for venues is not: Should we adapt?

It is: Who are we excluding if we don’t?

“My music is about connection. To yourself, to others, to something unseen.” - FKA twigs

EDI icons: Adaptation is not weakness. It is how creativity survives.

Adaptation is not weakness. It is how creativity survives.

We also need to dismantle the myth that cultural relevance belongs exclusively to people with unlimited capacity.

Popular culture already tells a different story.

Lady Gaga has spoken openly about living with fibromyalgia and chronic pain, and about adapting her touring and performance practices accordingly (Vogue).

Billie Eilish has discussed Tourette syndrome, sensory overload, and the invisible labour of masking, while reshaping global pop culture on her own terms (Rolling Stone).

Lewis Capaldi paused touring to prioritise mental health and Tourette’s, modelling a version of success that includes limits rather than denying them (BBC News).

Fatboy Slim has been open about burnout, addiction, and the necessity of radically changing how he lived and worked in order to survive creatively. His relevance did not diminish when he slowed down. It deepened through honesty and longevity.

Carl Cox has consistently spoken about sustainability, balance, and joy across a multi-decade career, actively resisting the idea that endurance and excess are the price of credibility in dance culture.

Within club culture itself, these same principles have long been embedded in musical form, even when they were never labelled as EDI.

“We are mirrors of each other. What I feel, you feel.”- Björk

Certain genres and subgenres within house, garage, bass, dub-influenced music, and more regulating strands of electronica consistently privilege groove over spectacle, repetition over escalation, and containment over overload. These sounds work with the nervous system’s need for predictability, cyclical rhythm, and low-threat sensory input, allowing participation without endurance.

For many neurodivergent, traumatised, or energy-variable bodies, these genres support regulation through presence rather than performance. You can sway instead of jump. Sit instead of stand. Arrive late. Leave early. Or simply be held by the rhythm without needing to prove anything.

This is not incidental.

From a physiological perspective, these styles tend to emphasise steady tempos, repeated rhythmic cycles, warm harmonic structures, and low-to-mid frequency grounding. Together, these qualities reduce cognitive load, support autonomic regulation, and foster social synchrony without demanding high output or sustained arousal.

Long before research described rhythm-induced synchronisation of heart rate, breathing, and nervous system activity, club culture was already doing this in practice.

This lineage shows that EDI does not dilute culture.

It reveals which cultures were already designed for real bodies.

EDI does not make culture boring.

It makes it sustainable.

“Dancers are the athletes of God.” - Albert Einstein

Biophilic design

Not beige. Not bland. Not a spa in disguise.

Let’s address the elephant. When people hear “biophilic design,” they often imagine sad pot plants, muted palettes, and a faint aroma of corporate wellbeing.

That is not what biophilic design actually is.

Biophilic design is about how environments interact with human nervous systems, not about aesthetic minimalism.

Crucially, truly biophilic club design does not start with an industrial shell and then apologise for it with a few distressed ferns. (although I'll take them too ;)

It starts with the body.

High-end biophilic nightlife spaces are designed from the ground up to work with human nervous systems rather than against them. Curved architecture replaces hard sightlines. Materials are chosen for warmth, texture, and acoustic kindness rather than visual aggression alone. Lighting is layered, rhythmic, and capable of changing its mind over the course of the night, instead of staying permanently stuck on “full beam.”

In these environments, nature is not decorative. It is structural. Organic geometry, fractal patterns, water-inspired reflections, living materials, and plant life are integrated into the architecture itself, not wheeled in as a vibe. The result is a space that still feels nocturnal, immersive, and seductive, but does not require the nervous system to remain on high alert at all times.

There is good science behind this, even if the plants don’t know it. Research in environmental psychology and biophilic design consistently shows that spaces incorporating natural forms, variation in light, and ordered complexity reduce stress responses and support autonomic regulation, even in high-stimulation environments (Ulrich, 1984; Kellert et al., 2008; Browning et al., 2014).

This is not about sanitising club culture or turning it into a wellness retreat where everyone whispers and drinks cucumber water (fermentted cucumber & ginger fizz with edible flowers welcome ;)

It is about elevation - high-end biophilic design allows intensity to register as pleasure rather than threat. People stay longer, recover faster, and come back without needing a small existential reset afterwards. What emerges is not a quieter scene, but a smarter and more sustainable one, where the environment works with the body instead of constantly testing it.

For holobionts with metabolic or sensory variability, these layered design choices reduce constant scanning, bracing, and energy bleed. The room asks less of the nervous system, which paradoxically allows people to give more when they want to.

That is not wellness culture.

That is capacity engineering, with biological intelligence finally getting a decent interior designer.

“We should consider every day lost in which we have not danced at least once.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

Why EDI is commercially intelligent: And not an act of charity

Let’s talk money, calmly.

Replacing an employee costs between six and nine months of salary once recruitment, training, and lost productivity are factored in (CIPD, 2023).

Lack of flexibility is now one of the leading reasons people leave roles, particularly those managing health conditions or neurodivergent needs (CIPD, 2023).

The same logic applies to venues. If people do not feel safe, welcome, or that they are able to participate at their capcity:

• they do not come

• they do not return

• they do not recommend

EDI-aware design:

• expands addressable markets

• increases customer lifetime value

• enables daytime and hire revenue• stabilises cashflow across seasons

Clubs that understand this can host:

• iconic DJ nights

• corporate events

• arts launches

• pop up restaurants

• talks and panels

• weddings and celebrations

• community gatherings

This is not dilution - It is future-proofing.

“To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful.” - Agnes de Mille

The quiet truth underneath all of this

What often gets missed in conversations about EDI is something very simple.

Spaces don’t hold inclusion on their own. People do.

You can design the most beautiful room in the world. Incredible sound. Thoughtful layout. Quiet corners, good lighting, places to land. But if the people working the space are stretched, unsupported, or expected to “just get on with it,” the whole thing slips into surface-level gestures.

A sign on the wall.

A policy PDF living in a manager’s drawer somewhere.

Good intentions with no nervous system behind them.

EDI stays alive when staff are part of the field, not just managing it.

When venues actively hire people with lived experience of disability,

neurodivergence, chronic illness, trauma, or marginalisation, something subtle but important happens. The room gets read differently. Early signs of overwhelm are noticed sooner. Responses soften. Situations de-escalate before they become problems. That kind of awareness doesn’t come from a manual. It comes from bodies recognising bodies.

There’s good evidence for this too. Inclusive staffing and psychologically safe workplaces are consistently linked to better decision-making, lower burnout, and stronger retention, especially in high-pressure environments like nightlife (CIPD, 2023; Edmondson, 2018).

Training matters just as much, but not the box-ticking kind.

When staff are trained in consent, boundary-setting, and trauma-aware de-escalation, the tone of a space changes. Initiatives like Good Night Out have shown that harm reduces not because venues become stricter, but because they become more attuned. People feel held rather than watched. Staff feel confident rather than reactive. Trust builds quietly (Good Night Out, 2022).

And here’s the bit that rarely gets said out loud.

This isn’t only about protecting guests.

Staff nervous systems matter too. Regulated staff make better calls. They don’t escalate unnecessarily. They don’t burn out as fast. Nervous systems co-regulate, and when the people holding the space feel supported, the whole room settles. Inclusion stops being a performance and starts being a shared state.

That’s why EDI isn’t a checklist. It’s a living system.

It needs space for people to take breaks. Permission to step back before they’re done in. Leadership that understands care as competence, not weakness.

When that’s in place, you can feel it almost immediately. People soften. They linger. They come back. Not because the night demanded more from them, but because it asked less.

And this is where we come back to dancing.

Not the kind you have to prove. Not the endurance version. Just the kind that happens when a room feels safe enough to let go a little.

Some people dance in the middle. Some sway at the edges. Some sit and let the bass do the work. Some leave early and that still counts.

The field holds all of it.

“The truest expression of a people is in its dance and its music. Bodies never lie.” - Agnes de Mille

Which brings me, gently, back to BioSurrender™ and MitoField™

BioSurrender™ was never about doing less. It was about stopping the argument with the body and letting rhythm lead for once. MitoField™ is the same idea, just closer in. Your mitochondria are Billions of Years old. They read safety, pattern, and coherence. They respond to rhythm long before your mind decides what’s sensible.

Which is why they love to dance.

Not always in obvious ways. Sometimes it’s a full-body moment. Sometimes it’s a foot tapping under the table, a sway while the kettle boils, or a breath that quietly finds its own tempo again. Micro dances count. Being near the rhythm counts. Resting in the field counts.

You don’t have to stand longer, stay later, drink more, or push through to belong. Presence is already participation.

So wherever you’re reading this, wherever your cells are quietly raving or gently regulating themselves back into coherence, know this.

You belong: Unity love is real.

From my MitoField™ to yours, wherever your cells are dancing tonight.

P.S.If you’re exploring ways to support your energy day to day, you might want to take a look at Biotin100. Biotin100 is a niche high strength Metabiotic™ that contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and supports ATP production when conditions allow — including, occasionally, dancing energy rather than just survival mode. As ever, the intention is support, not pressure.

If any of this blog resonated — mitochondrial coherence, metabolic wellbeing, EDI-led design, biophilic nightlife, energy-aware culture, , or creating spaces that genuinely work for real bodies — I’d love to hear from you. This work is close to my heart.

You can reach me at hello@nuutree.net for collaborations, consultancy, research, or content projects in this space - remotely or locally around Preston, UK. I bring a background in counselling training, hypnotherapy, meditation, and trauma-aware somatic practice, alongside a 3D Design degree specialising in biophilic design and materials research, all woven through Nuutree’s colourful wellbeing world.

My EDI work grows out of lived experience as much as literature. My aim is simple: to translate emerging science around healing, energy, and consciousness into something accessible, grounded, and genuinely usable for real people, wherever they’re starting from. Think less gatekeeping, more shared curiosity. Less mystique, more “ohhh, that makes sense”.

It’s essentially an ongoing experiment in making complex ideas about healing and consciousness a bit easier to live with, not just think about. B x

Friendly, important, read-me-with-a-smile disclaimer 🤍

Biotin100 is a nutritional support, not a miracle, a medication, or a personality transplant.Biotin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and supports metabolic pathways involved in both mitochondrial function and the microbiome. Think of it as metabiotic support — helping fuel systems that already know how to do their job.

Biotin is water soluble. Your body uses what it needs and any excess is safely excreted in urine. No hoarding. No drama.

This is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. I t’s designed as a reset-style support for times when life is more demanding than usual — stress, recovery, depletion, or energetic rebuilding — not a forever supplement unless advised by a qualified professional.

Important but reassuring note:Please pause Biotin100 for 72 hours before blood tests. This is because biotin can interfere with certain lab results, not because it harms your body. Once tests are done, simply resume as normal.

As always, listen to your body, go gently, and work with your own rhythm. Supplements support conditions — they don’t replace rest, nourishment, or common sense. And yes… dancing (even toe tapping) counts as metabolism.
