HPA Axis Calibration

Meaning

HPA Axis Calibration refers to the process of restoring appropriate sensitivity and dynamic range to the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal feedback loop, often disrupted by chronic stress exposure. This clinical objective aims to normalize the pulsatile release of CRH, ACTH, and cortisol, ensuring an adaptive rather than maladaptive stress response. It is central to achieving endocrine resilience.
