Optimized Hormonal Currency

Meaning

Optimized Hormonal Currency is a conceptual term representing the ideal, biologically available concentration and ratio of all active hormones within the systemic circulation, allowing for efficient, unhindered signaling at the cellular level. This state implies that not only are total hormone levels within an optimal range, but that transport proteins, such as Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) and albumin, are regulated to ensure maximum free hormone fraction for tissue uptake. The optimization of this currency is the ultimate goal of any precision endocrinology intervention.
