Physiological Default

Meaning

Physiological Default is the stable, intrinsic baseline state of hormonal, metabolic, and neurological function to which an individual’s body naturally returns when not under acute stress or active disease perturbation. This default setting is a consequence of the complex interplay between genetic predisposition, developmental programming, and long-term lifestyle inputs, representing the established equilibrium of the human system. A favorable physiological default is characterized by robust hormonal signaling, high metabolic flexibility, and a low inflammatory burden, all of which are crucial for long-term health and longevity.
