Autonomic Tone Regulation

Meaning

Autonomic Tone Regulation is the precise, dynamic management of the delicate balance between the sympathetic, or “fight-or-flight,” and the parasympathetic, or “rest-and-digest,” branches of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). Optimal regulation is quantitatively indicated by high heart rate variability (HRV), signifying a flexible and highly responsive nervous system capable of rapidly adapting to a spectrum of physiological and psychological demands. Clinical wellness protocols are often designed to enhance parasympathetic dominance, which is a prerequisite for deep cellular recovery, efficient digestion, and robust hormonal synthesis.
