Endocrine Feedback Adjustment

Meaning

Endocrine Feedback Adjustment is the therapeutic or physiological process of modifying the sensitivity or set-points within the body’s hormonal regulatory loops to restore optimal homeostatic function. This is a highly nuanced clinical strategy, often necessary when chronic stress or exogenous hormone use has blunted the sensitivity of the hypothalamus or pituitary gland. The goal is to encourage the endocrine glands to communicate effectively again, allowing for precise, endogenous hormone production. It requires a deep understanding of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axes.
