Feeling off, but your doctor says everything's "normal"? 🤔

Homeostasis vs. Allostasis

Feeling off, but your doctor says everything's "normal"? 🤔 You might be experiencing allostasis, a new, less-than-optimal balance your body finds when stressed. Dr. Paolo Conforti explains that true health isn't just absence of illness, but a state of complex well-being.

Homeostasis is your body perfectly returning to balance after stress. But chronic stress can push you into allostasis, where your body adapts, but at a cost. Functional medicine aims to correct this, moving you from merely surviving to thriving! 🌱

Your lifestyle choices and environment (epigenetics) directly influence this dance. Understand the signals your body sends to prevent years of overlooked issues from becoming bigger problems.
