Biological Stewardship Principle

Meaning

The Biological Stewardship Principle is a clinical philosophy emphasizing the responsible, conservative, and holistic management of an individual’s intrinsic biological resources and regulatory systems. This approach prioritizes supporting the body’s natural homeostatic mechanisms over aggressive, high-dose interventions. It advocates for sustainable physiological practices that preserve the long-term integrity and responsiveness of the endocrine and metabolic pathways. Effective stewardship ensures that therapeutic actions enhance, rather than deplete, the inherent biological capacity for health and longevity.
