Physiological Mimicry

Meaning

Physiological mimicry is a core therapeutic principle in hormone replacement and optimization, whereby the administered hormone regimen is meticulously designed to replicate the body’s natural, endogenous patterns of hormone secretion, metabolism, and action. This approach aims to restore hormonal balance with the least possible disruption to the body’s intricate, rhythmic feedback loops, including pulsatile and diurnal variations. The ultimate goal is to maximize clinical benefit and long-term health while minimizing the adverse effects associated with non-physiological dosing.
