Salutogenic Approach

Meaning

The Salutogenic Approach is a conceptual framework in health and wellness that focuses on factors that support human health and well-being, rather than focusing solely on factors that cause disease, which is the traditional pathogenic model. This perspective asks, “What creates health?” and emphasizes an individual’s “Sense of Coherence,” encompassing their comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness of life stressors. In hormonal health, this means optimizing the physiological and psychological resources that promote endocrine resilience and balance.
