Energy Availability Wellness

Meaning

Energy Availability Wellness is the critical physiological state where the caloric intake, minus the energy expended during exercise, leaves sufficient residual energy to support all basal metabolic processes and essential cellular functions. This includes the energetic demands of the immune system, bone remodeling, and, crucially, the neuroendocrine axes. When energy availability is optimized, the body can maintain full reproductive and metabolic function without initiating adaptive, suppressive hormonal responses. This state is a prerequisite for long-term endocrine resilience and optimal health.
