Physiological Dosing Strategy

Meaning

A Physiological Dosing Strategy is a clinical approach to hormone replacement or supplementation that aims to replicate the body’s natural, endogenous production levels and rhythmic patterns as closely as possible, rather than administering a standardized, supraphysiological dose. This precise method involves using the smallest effective dose, often delivered in a time-released or pulsatile manner, to restore optimal endocrine signaling clarity without suppressing the body’s own hormone production or inducing negative feedback loops. This strategy is foundational in restorative endocrinology, minimizing side effects and promoting long-term hormonal balance.
