Stress Mitigation Protocols

Meaning

Stress Mitigation Protocols are structured, evidence-based strategies implemented in a clinical or wellness setting to proactively reduce the detrimental physiological and psychological impact of chronic or acute stress on the body. These protocols typically integrate behavioral, nutritional, and targeted biological interventions to restore balance to the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis and the autonomic nervous system. The clinical objective is to lower allostatic load, improve hormonal resilience, and prevent the cascade of negative health consequences associated with prolonged cortisol elevation. Successful mitigation is foundational for all other hormonal optimization efforts.
