The physiological and biochemical substrates, including optimal mitochondrial efficiency, balanced cortisol dynamics, and adequate substrate availability, that dictate an individual’s capacity for sustained high-level cognitive and physical output. This is the science of functional energy.
Origin
Emerging from occupational health and performance science, this discipline quantifies the biological costs and requirements for complex, sustained work effort. It grounds productivity in physiology.
Mechanism
Productivity is directly supported by efficient thyroid hormone action on cellular metabolism and appropriate catecholamine support for alertness, all while managing glucocorticoid signaling to prevent burnout. Dysregulation in these areas directly limits output capacity.
