Adrenal Function Calibration

Meaning

The systematic assessment and adjustment of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis responsiveness to maintain optimal cortisol dynamics. This process seeks to re-establish appropriate feedback loops governing stress adaptation and metabolic regulation. Clinically, it addresses dysregulation identified through testing of adrenal hormone outputs across diurnal cycles. Accurate calibration ensures the body responds effectively to physiological stressors without prolonged catabolic states. It is a cornerstone in managing chronic fatigue and perceived stress states.
