Metabolic Drivers

Meaning

The foundational biochemical processes and regulatory molecules that exert the most profound influence over the body’s energy expenditure, nutrient partitioning, and overall metabolic rate. These drivers include key hormones, signaling proteins, and the functional capacity of core organelles like mitochondria. Identifying and optimizing these drivers is the clinical leverage point for addressing issues of body composition, energy levels, and chronic disease risk. They are the core regulators of physiological efficiency.
