High Demand Living

Meaning

High Demand Living is a descriptive term for a lifestyle characterized by chronic, elevated physiological and psychological stress resulting from continuous professional, personal, and cognitive pressures with insufficient recovery periods. This persistent state of high allostatic load pushes the body’s homeostatic mechanisms to their limits, frequently leading to HPA axis dysregulation and chronic activation of the sympathetic nervous system. It represents a pervasive modern challenge to hormonal balance and long-term health. The sustained stress compromises the body’s resilience.
