Stress Hormone Calibration

Meaning

Stress Hormone Calibration is the clinical process of precisely adjusting the sensitivity, amplitude, and timing of the body’s primary stress response hormones, particularly cortisol and catecholamines, to ensure an appropriate, rapid, and transient reaction to a stressor. The goal is to prevent both hypo-responsiveness (inability to cope) and chronic hyper-responsiveness (HPA axis dysregulation), thereby optimizing systemic resilience and minimizing the catabolic effects of prolonged stress. This calibration is fundamental to hormonal health and vitality. A well-calibrated system responds strongly but recovers quickly.
