Endocrine Drift

Meaning

Endocrine drift refers to a subtle, often gradual, deviation of circulating hormone levels away from an established homeostatic set point over time, frequently associated with aging, chronic stress, or subclinical environmental exposures. This slow alteration in endocrine signaling can precede overt pathology by influencing metabolic efficiency and cellular responsiveness. Recognizing this drift is key to proactive wellness management.
