StressResilience

Meaning

Stress Resilience is the biological and psychological capacity of an individual to successfully adapt to and rapidly recover from acute or chronic psychological, environmental, or physiological stressors, minimizing the resultant allostatic load. This critical homeostatic function is dependent on a well-regulated hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, efficient feedback loops, and robust neuroplasticity that allows for rapid return to baseline hormonal and metabolic equilibrium. High stress resilience is a hallmark of physiological youth and robust vitality.
