Dietary Compliance

Meaning

Dietary Compliance refers to the extent to which an individual patient adheres faithfully to the specific nutritional guidelines, caloric restrictions, or prescribed food regimen provided by their healthcare professional. This metric is critically important in the hormonal health domain, as dietary intake directly influences systemic inflammation, gut microbiome health, and the metabolic pathways responsible for hormone synthesis and detoxification. High compliance is essential for achieving and sustaining optimal treatment outcomes, particularly in metabolic and endocrine disorders like insulin resistance or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
