Chronobiology Entrainment

Meaning

Chronobiology Entrainment refers to the process by which the endogenous biological clocks, or circadian rhythms, synchronize their timing to external environmental cues, primarily the light-dark cycle. In the context of hormonal health, successful entrainment ensures that hormone release patterns, such as cortisol awakening response or nocturnal melatonin secretion, align optimally with daily demands. Misalignment, or desynchrony, often precipitates metabolic and endocrine disturbances. This synchronization is vital for systemic coherence.
