HPG Axis Function Preservation

Meaning

HPG Axis Function Preservation refers to the clinical and lifestyle goal of maintaining the optimal, rhythmic, and robust functioning of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal (HPG) axis throughout the lifespan. This axis is the central regulator of sex hormone production, including testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone, and is critical for reproductive health. Preservation strategies are essential for sustaining fertility, promoting bone and muscle integrity, and ensuring a healthy quality of life as individuals age or face chronic stressors. This is a proactive approach to hormonal longevity.
