Chronobiological Discipline

Meaning

The Chronobiological Discipline examines the biological rhythms that govern physiological processes, including the diurnal secretion patterns of key hormones like cortisol and melatonin. Proper alignment of these internal clocks, or circadian rhythms, is essential for optimal endocrine function and metabolic health. Disruptions to these cycles often manifest as clinical symptoms related to energy imbalance or sleep disturbance. We recognize that timing hormone administration or lifestyle interventions relative to these rhythms profoundly impacts therapeutic efficacy. This discipline provides the framework for understanding when the body is most receptive to change.
