Biological Setpoint Elevation

Meaning

Biological Setpoint Elevation is the deliberate, targeted upward shift of a homeostatic target parameter, such as a key hormone concentration or metabolic efficiency threshold, above its current, often diminished, baseline. Clinically, this implies optimizing function rather than simply normalizing deviation downward. We seek to raise the floor of performance where appropriate for the individual’s physiology. This is distinct from achieving transient supra-physiological states.
