Integrative Endocrinology

Meaning

Integrative Endocrinology is a clinical and scientific discipline that approaches hormonal health by considering the interconnectedness of the endocrine system with all other major physiological systems, including the nervous, immune, and gastrointestinal systems. This perspective moves beyond single-gland dysfunction, seeking to understand the root causes of hormonal imbalance within the context of lifestyle, nutrition, environmental exposures, and genetics. The goal is to optimize overall systemic health, recognizing that hormonal well-being is a reflection of total body balance. Treatment plans often incorporate conventional pharmacotherapy alongside targeted nutritional and lifestyle interventions.
