Biological Latency Awareness

Meaning

The clinical recognition and integration of the time delay between the initiation of a therapeutic intervention, particularly hormonal or metabolic adjustments, and the manifestation of a measurable, stable physiological or clinical outcome. This concept emphasizes that biological systems, especially the endocrine and neurological axes, require extended periods to adapt and remodel in response to external stimuli. It is a crucial consideration for patient expectation management and protocol adjustment timing.
