Wellness Command

Meaning

Wellness Command is a conceptual term referring to the centralized, hierarchical regulatory system within the body, primarily the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis, which dictates the body’s overall state of health, energy allocation, and response to stress. This command center integrates sensory, metabolic, and emotional information to issue the master hormonal and neural signals that govern homeostasis and allostasis. Optimal Wellness Command is characterized by a flexible, rapid, and appropriate response to stressors, ensuring swift return to equilibrium.
