The interdisciplinary scientific approach focused on measuring, modeling, and precisely adjusting the interconnected physiological systems of the body—including the endocrine, metabolic, immune, and nervous systems—to restore optimal homeostatic balance and enhance resilience. This science utilizes comprehensive biomarker analysis to achieve a state of systemic calibration, moving beyond single-target treatment to integrated, personalized physiological optimization.
Origin
This concept is a hallmark of advanced personalized and functional medicine, recognizing that the body functions as an integrated network rather than a collection of isolated systems. The term calibration is borrowed from engineering, implying precise, data-driven adjustment. It represents a shift toward managing the complexity of human physiology.
Mechanism
Calibration is achieved by identifying and addressing the rate-limiting factors and dysregulated feedback loops across multiple systems. For example, optimizing thyroid hormone levels (endocrine) may be calibrated with improving gut health (immune/metabolic) and managing stress (nervous system) to achieve a synergistic effect. The goal is to move the entire physiological network toward a state of robust, youthful function, ensuring all systems are harmoniously balanced for maximum performance and longevity.
