Adrenal Function Optimization

Meaning

Adrenal Function Optimization refers to the clinical goal of achieving peak operational efficiency within the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, ensuring balanced and timely secretion of critical glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. This process seeks to normalize the diurnal rhythm of cortisol while maintaining adequate DHEA production for anabolic support and resilience. Understanding this optimization is key to managing chronic stress responses that impact systemic homeostasis. We aim for appropriate physiological responsiveness, not simply the absence of pathology.
