A comprehensive clinical philosophy and practice centered on the proactive maintenance and optimization of the nervous and endocrine systems to ensure their coordinated, long-term functional health. This stewardship involves strategic monitoring and intervention to prevent age-related decline and enhance systemic resilience.
Origin
This term synthesizes concepts from systems biology, preventative medicine, and neuroendocrinology, framing the care of the interconnected neurobiological systems as a vital, ongoing responsibility for health and longevity. The “stewardship” element emphasizes deliberate, informed management over passive observation.
Mechanism
Effective stewardship involves balancing key hormonal cascades, such as thyroid and adrenal outputs, to maintain optimal neurotransmitter synthesis and receptor sensitivity in the brain. It also encompasses protecting neuronal and glial cell integrity through antioxidant support, managing chronic inflammation, and promoting neuroplasticity, thereby ensuring the longevity of complex neural circuits.
