Vitality Set Point

Meaning

The Vitality Set Point is a theoretical, dynamic equilibrium state that represents an individual’s optimal, sustainable level of physical energy, cognitive function, and emotional resilience, which is homeostatically defended by the body. This set point is influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and, most critically, the current state of the endocrine and metabolic systems. A decline in this set point signifies a loss of homeostatic reserve and is often a hallmark of biological aging.
