Supra-Homeostasis

Meaning

Supra-Homeostasis is a conceptual clinical state that extends beyond the conventional physiological definition of homeostasis, which is merely maintaining internal stability within a narrow range. This state represents a proactive, resilient form of biological regulation where all physiological parameters are not just stable but are actively maintained at an optimal functional set point, often correlating with peak performance and enhanced longevity. It implies a reserve capacity to rapidly adapt to and recover from significant physiological stressors without succumbing to dysregulation. Achieving this state is the ultimate goal of personalized, preventative medicine.
