Primal Resilience

Meaning

Primal Resilience describes the innate, fundamental capacity of the human organism to withstand significant physiological stressors—such as caloric restriction, temperature extremes, or intense physical load—and rapidly return to a stable homeostatic set point. This resilience is deeply rooted in efficient mitochondrial function and the robust, non-pathological response of the HPA axis. It represents the baseline durability of the body’s core survival mechanisms before lifestyle factors introduce complexity. Maintaining this intrinsic hardiness is foundational to long-term wellness.
