Catabolic Cascade Interruption

Meaning

Catabolic Cascade Interruption describes a targeted physiological intervention designed to halt or significantly slow down a destructive sequence of biochemical events leading to tissue breakdown and muscle wasting. In the context of hormonal health, this cascade is often initiated by prolonged high cortisol exposure or chronic systemic inflammation, leading to the degradation of structural proteins. The interruption aims to shift the body back toward an anabolic, or building, state, thereby preserving lean mass and maintaining structural integrity.
