Neuro-Hormonal Protocol

Meaning

A Neuro-Hormonal Protocol is a highly personalized, integrated clinical plan that simultaneously addresses the interconnected regulatory systems of the nervous system and the endocrine system to achieve a specific health or performance outcome. This systematic approach recognizes the continuous, bidirectional communication between the brain and the body’s hormonal glands, particularly the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) and hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axes. Protocols typically combine targeted nutritional, lifestyle, and supplemental or pharmaceutical interventions to restore balance in neurotransmitter synthesis, modulate stress hormone output, and optimize sex hormone ratios. It is a comprehensive strategy for achieving systemic physiological coherence.
