Physiological Transparency

Meaning

Physiological Transparency is the clinical and ethical commitment to providing an individual with complete, clear, and understandable access to their own biological data, including detailed hormonal profiles, metabolic markers, and genetic insights, along with a comprehensive explanation of their clinical significance. This principle fosters a collaborative relationship between the client and the clinical translator, moving away from paternalistic models of care to empower the individual with actionable knowledge about their own body. High transparency is key to promoting self-efficacy and informed decision-making in health.
