Endocrine Decay

Meaning

Endocrine Decay describes the gradual, age-related deterioration in the function of the body’s endocrine glands, leading to a measurable decline in the production and coordinated regulation of essential hormones. This pervasive physiological process is characterized by reduced glandular reserve, altered feedback loop sensitivity, and shifts in hormone clearance rates. It contributes significantly to many age-associated symptoms, including loss of muscle mass, decreased energy, and impaired metabolic function. The decay is a key driver of overall systemic aging.
