Catabolic Reduction

Meaning

Catabolic Reduction refers to the therapeutic or lifestyle-driven strategy aimed at decreasing the rate and extent of catabolism, which is the metabolic process of breaking down complex molecules like muscle and fat for energy. In hormonal health, this is crucial for preserving lean body mass and maintaining metabolic integrity, particularly during periods of stress or caloric restriction. Achieving catabolic reduction supports a net anabolic state, favoring tissue repair and regeneration. This approach is fundamental to anti-aging and longevity protocols.
