Environmental Controls

Meaning

Environmental Controls represent the proactive and intentional strategies employed to modify or regulate the external physical, chemical, and biological surroundings of an individual to foster optimal health and reduce physiological burden. This encompasses managing exposure to exogenous endocrine-disrupting chemicals, controlling ambient light and temperature to support circadian rhythm integrity, and mitigating exposure to various pollutants. Implementing these controls is a crucial preventative measure aimed at minimizing toxic input and reducing the cumulative stress on the body’s homeostatic systems.
