Mr. Mark Young
Mark Young is the founder of the LUOS Foundation and architect of the 78-Day Reset a physiology-first model for restoring human capacity through regulation, rhythm, and systemic coherence. His work explores how biological systems reorganize under conditions of stability, drawing parallels between physical systems governed by structure and human systems governed by regulation. Mark's framework challenges the mind-first model of transformation, proposing instead that sustainable change begins in the body through nervous system stability, metabolic rhythm, and repeated signals of safety. His research-informed approach integrates systems thinking, biological regulation, and performance science to explore how coherence at the physiological level shapes cognition, behavior, and meaning.
