Age-Related Chemical Drift

Meaning

Age-Related Chemical Drift is a clinical descriptor for the subtle yet progressive, multi-systemic deviation of key hormonal, metabolic, and neurochemical parameters from the optimal ranges characteristic of youth. This phenomenon reflects a loss of homeostatic precision and resilience across the body’s intricate signaling networks. It encompasses shifts in sex hormone ratios, altered glucose regulation, and changes in neurotransmitter metabolism. The drift is a quantifiable contributor to the functional decline associated with chronological aging.
