A clinical objective focused on decreasing the time delay between a physiological stimulus or a therapeutic intervention and the resulting biological response across multiple organ systems. This lag, often observed in aging or dysfunctional states, represents impaired communication and slowed homeostatic feedback loops. Reducing systemic lag is a measure of restored youthful resilience and improved endocrine-neural coordination.
Origin
A term from systems physiology and control theory, applying the concept of “Lag” (delay in response) to the entire biological “System.” “Reduction” denotes the therapeutic goal of improving efficiency and responsiveness.
Mechanism
The reduction is achieved by optimizing key elements of rapid communication, including neurotransmitter synthesis, nerve conduction velocity, and the efficiency of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) and thyroid axes. Enhancing mitochondrial function and reducing systemic inflammation also play a crucial role by improving cellular energy and reducing noise in signaling pathways. A faster, more precise systemic response minimizes the duration of physiological stress and accelerates recovery.
