Amygdala Recalibration

Meaning

The process of consciously or therapeutically altering the exaggerated or dysregulated fear and stress responses mediated by the amygdala. This central brain structure is critical for processing emotions, particularly those related to threat and survival mechanisms. Recalibration aims to restore a balanced emotional response, moving away from a hyper-vigilant state often exacerbated by chronic hormonal imbalance or systemic stress. It is a key concept in addressing the neurobiological underpinnings of anxiety and chronic stress within the hormonal health context. Restoring this balance is essential for overall neuroendocrine homeostasis and well-being.
