The capacity of an individual’s physiological systems to autonomously regulate internal milieu, particularly endocrine function, independent of undue external interference or dysregulation. This represents an inherent state where intrinsic feedback mechanisms govern hormonal balance.
Origin
Emerges from the recognition that true wellness necessitates the body’s intrinsic command over its own regulatory networks, contrasting with external dependencies for endocrine modulation. It draws conceptual weight from concepts of physiological autonomy.
Mechanism
Relies on robust negative and positive feedback loops governing the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and other endocrine glands. Maintaining cellular integrity ensures receptors respond appropriately to endogenous signals, thereby preserving the system’s self-governance.
