Abstract: A non-invasive self-autonomous system and method of optimizing a lifestyle regimen of a person containing a combination of lifestyle variables is provided. At least one value of the combination of lifestyle variables is repeatedly modified, thereby creating different variations of the combination of lifestyle variables respectively having different sets of values. The different variations of the combination of lifestyle variables are sequentially administered to the person. Physiological activity of the person is detected in response to the administration of the combination of lifestyle variables to the person. Sets of qualitative indicators of an aspect of a lifestyle of the person are derived from the detected physiological activity of the person. The lifestyle regimen of the person is optimized based on the different variations of the combination of lifestyle variables and the derived sets of qualitative indicators.
