Functional Endocrinology Framework

Meaning

A comprehensive, systems-based approach to assessing and managing hormonal health that prioritizes the dynamic interaction between endocrine glands, their feedback loops, and external modulators like nutrition and stress. This framework moves beyond simple static lab value interpretation to model the patient’s entire physiological ecosystem. It seeks to identify the root cause of symptomatic endocrine patterns rather than just treating isolated hormone deficiencies or excesses. The goal is restoring integrated physiological balance.
