Physiological Tipping Point

Meaning

The Physiological Tipping Point represents a critical threshold in a complex biological system where a small, incremental change in a key parameter, such as chronic inflammation, hormone balance, or metabolic function, pushes the system from a state of resilient homeostasis into a state of irreversible or rapidly accelerating pathology. Clinically, identifying and intervening precisely before this point is crossed is the primary, non-negotiable goal of preventative and longevity medicine. Crossing this point often signifies a major shift in health status.
