Somatic Tissue Recomposition

Meaning

The deliberate, hormonally-influenced alteration of the body’s constituent tissues, specifically increasing lean muscle mass (lean body mass) while simultaneously reducing adipose tissue volume. This process is fundamentally anabolic, driven by optimized levels of hormones like testosterone and growth hormone signaling. It represents a shift in the overall metabolic partitioning of nutrients toward structural maintenance and growth. We view this as a key objective in anti-aging protocols aimed at improving physical function. Successful recomposition requires an anabolic drive that overcomes age-related anabolic resistance.
