Adrenal Axis Fortification

Meaning

Clinical practice aims to strengthen the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which is the body’s central stress response system. This fortification focuses on enhancing the resilience and adaptive capacity of the adrenal glands and their regulatory centers in the brain. The goal is to optimize the controlled release of glucocorticoids like cortisol, ensuring a balanced and effective physiological response to both acute and chronic stressors. A robust HPA axis is essential for maintaining systemic homeostasis and energy balance, mitigating the long-term detriments of chronic stress.
