Stress Resilience Bio-Regulation

Meaning

The process of optimizing the interconnected biological systems, primarily the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, the autonomic nervous system, and the endocrine system, to enhance an individual’s capacity to absorb, adapt to, and rapidly recover from physiological and psychological stressors. This bio-regulation involves targeted interventions to maintain allostatic balance and prevent the detrimental effects of chronic allostatic load. It is a proactive strategy for maintaining systemic health.
