Metabolic Hormone Balance

Meaning

Metabolic Hormone Balance refers to the precise, dynamic equilibrium between the key endocrine messengers that regulate energy intake, expenditure, storage, and utilization across the body’s tissues, including insulin, glucagon, leptin, ghrelin, and thyroid hormones. This state of balance is characterized by optimal insulin sensitivity, appropriate satiety signaling, and a basal metabolic rate that efficiently supports cellular function without promoting excessive energy storage. Disruption of this balance, often seen as insulin resistance or leptin dysregulation, is the central pathology in most chronic metabolic diseases.
