Non-Pharmaceutical Intervention

Meaning

A Non-Pharmaceutical Intervention (NPI) is any therapeutic strategy or health action that does not involve the use of pharmaceutical drugs or synthetic medications, focusing instead on leveraging intrinsic biological and behavioral mechanisms for health optimization. In the hormonal health domain, NPIs include targeted nutritional protocols, specific exercise regimens, stress reduction techniques, and sleep optimization strategies, all designed to modulate the endocrine system naturally. Clinicians utilize NPIs as a foundational element of care to improve receptor sensitivity, reduce inflammation, and enhance the body’s innate capacity for hormonal balance before or alongside pharmacological treatment.
