Physiological Stress Modulation

Meaning

Physiological Stress Modulation is the intentional and systematic process of regulating the body’s biological response to stressors, primarily through the precise management of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis and the autonomic nervous system. The goal is not to eliminate stress entirely but to optimize the adaptive response, preventing chronic activation that leads to hormonal imbalance and systemic wear. This is a key strategy for enhancing resilience and maintaining long-term health.
