Adrenergic System Tuning

Meaning

Adrenergic System Tuning refers to the deliberate modification and optimization of the sympathetic nervous system’s (SNS) response to internal and external stimuli. This process aims to achieve a balanced and context-appropriate release and reception of catecholamines, specifically norepinephrine and epinephrine. Effective tuning results in the ability to rapidly shift between states of high alertness and focused calm, preventing chronic over-activation which can lead to hormonal fatigue or dysregulation. The goal is to maximize performance chemistry while minimizing allostatic load.
