Steroid Hormone Calibration

Meaning

The clinical and physiological process of precisely adjusting the systemic concentrations and ratios of steroid hormones—including cortisol, testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone—to their optimal functional levels for an individual, rather than merely within a broad reference range. Calibration focuses on optimizing the balance between anabolic and catabolic steroids, ensuring healthy receptor sensitivity, and supporting the metabolic pathways that synthesize and clear these hormones. This nuanced adjustment is essential for mood, energy, body composition, and longevity.
