Physiological Threshold Management

Meaning

Physiological Threshold Management is the clinical practice of identifying, monitoring, and strategically modulating the specific biological limits at which a physiological system transitions from a state of adaptation and resilience to one of decompensation and pathology. This management focuses on keeping key health indicators safely below critical limits, such as the glycemic threshold for insulin resistance or the stress threshold for HPA axis burnout. It is a proactive strategy for disease prevention and maximizing healthspan. Exceeding these thresholds initiates a cascade of detrimental effects.
