Bioavailable Hormone Optimization

Meaning

Bioavailable hormone optimization is a clinical strategy focused on achieving ideal physiological levels of free, unbound hormones that are readily accessible to target tissues and receptors. This approach recognizes that total hormone levels measured in serum may not accurately reflect the fraction of the hormone capable of exerting biological effects. The primary goal is to enhance cellular responsiveness and maintain the precise hormonal signaling necessary for optimal metabolic, cognitive, and physical function. It moves beyond simply normalizing total hormone concentrations to ensuring effective action at the cellular level.
