Chronic Stress Mitigation

Meaning

Chronic Stress Mitigation is the clinical strategy focused on reducing the persistent, low-grade activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the resultant allostatic load on the body. This is a crucial intervention in hormonal health, as sustained stress severely impairs endocrine function, including thyroid and gonadal axes. Effective mitigation aims to restore HPA axis rhythmicity and decrease circulating cortisol and adrenaline levels. Successfully addressing chronic stress is foundational to achieving systemic hormonal balance and promoting long-term well-being.
