Systemic Resilience against Stressors

Meaning

Systemic Resilience against Stressors is the comprehensive physiological capacity of the body’s interconnected systems—endocrine, immune, and nervous—to rapidly and efficiently return to a stable homeostatic state following exposure to physical, emotional, or metabolic challenges. This resilience is a hallmark of robust health, characterized by a rapid, proportional stress response followed by a swift recovery phase, preventing allostatic overload. A high degree of resilience indicates optimized HPA axis function, minimal chronic inflammation, and sufficient physiological reserve capacity. Cultivating this resilience is a core principle of preventative and longevity medicine.
