Allostasis Maintenance Protocol

Meaning

The Allostasis Maintenance Protocol represents a clinical and physiological strategy centered on actively managing and restoring the body’s allostatic load, which is the cumulative wear and tear resulting from chronic stress and continuous adaptation. This protocol is distinct from simple homeostasis as it aims to sustain robust adaptive capacity across various internal and external challenges, rather than maintaining a fixed internal state. Effective maintenance supports optimal hormonal signaling, thereby preventing the detrimental long-term consequences associated with persistent physiological imbalance. Clinicians utilize this framework to guide targeted interventions that enhance systemic resilience and promote long-term balance.
