Catabolic Hormone Ratio Management

Meaning

Catabolic Hormone Ratio Management is a clinical strategy focused on optimizing the balance between hormones that promote tissue breakdown (catabolism) and those that encourage tissue building (anabolism). Key catabolic hormones include cortisol and glucagon, while anabolic hormones include testosterone, growth hormone, and insulin. The primary objective is to minimize the destructive effects of chronic stress and aging by shifting the metabolic environment toward anabolism and repair. Maintaining a favorable ratio is paramount for preserving lean body mass and metabolic health.
