Endogenous Rhythm Overriding

Meaning

Endogenous rhythm overriding is the deliberate clinical or lifestyle intervention used to temporarily suppress or significantly alter the body’s natural, internal circadian and ultradian hormonal rhythms. This is often necessary in specialized performance or medical settings where the natural timing of physiological processes must be acutely adjusted to meet non-standard demands, such as rapid time zone travel. It is a powerful technique that requires careful management to prevent chronic circadian disruption and metabolic harm.
