Physiological Equilibrium Re-Establishment is the therapeutic process of restoring the body’s internal dynamic balance, or homeostasis, across its major regulatory systems following a period of chronic stress, illness, or age-related decline. This objective involves stabilizing vital parameters such as blood glucose, systemic pH, core body temperature, and the intricate balance of the endocrine and nervous systems. The re-establishment of equilibrium is essential for enabling self-repair mechanisms and sustained high-level function, moving the patient from a state of allostasis back to true homeostasis.
Origin
This concept is fundamentally based on the physiological principle of homeostasis, first described by Claude Bernard and later refined by Walter Cannon. The term ‘re-establishment’ highlights the active, clinical intervention required to pull a system back from a state of prolonged dysregulation, or allostatic load, which often occurs with modern lifestyle factors and aging. It provides a comprehensive goal for all restorative wellness protocols.
Mechanism
Re-establishment is achieved by identifying and correcting the core imbalances that are preventing the body’s natural feedback loops from functioning correctly. For example, stabilizing the HPA axis through stress management and targeted supplementation can allow the autonomic nervous system to shift from sympathetic dominance to a parasympathetic, restorative state. By removing persistent stressors and providing necessary substrates, the body’s intrinsic, self-regulating mechanisms are reactivated, allowing the endocrine and metabolic systems to autonomously return to their optimal set points.
