Metabolic Homeostasis Redefinition

Meaning

A progressive clinical and scientific movement that seeks to update the traditional, static definition of metabolic health—often based on simple BMI or fasting glucose levels—to a dynamic, personalized model emphasizing optimal cellular energy utilization and endocrine signaling. Redefinition focuses on advanced biomarkers like insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial function, and body composition to achieve a state of robust, adaptive metabolic health, even in the face of physiological stress. This shift aims for peak metabolic resilience, not merely the absence of overt disease.
