System-Based Physiology

Meaning

System-Based Physiology is a holistic clinical approach that views the human body not as a collection of isolated organs but as an interconnected, dynamic network of biological systems, including the endocrine, immune, nervous, and metabolic systems. This framework recognizes that dysfunction in one area, such as hormonal imbalance, inevitably creates downstream effects across the entire network. Clinical assessment under this model focuses on identifying the root cause of dysfunction by analyzing the communication and feedback loops between these systems. This integrated perspective is essential for effective, long-term health optimization.
