What is allostasis?

Allostasis is a term that was coined by Dr. Bruce McEwen to describe the body's ability to maintain stability in the face of changing environmental conditions. It is a process that is constantly taking place in our bodies, and it is essential for our survival. When we are exposed to a stressor, our bodies go through a series of physiological changes that help us to cope with the stress. These changes include things like increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and increased cortisol levels. These changes are all part of the allostatic response, and they help us to survive the stressor and return to homeostasis.

How does allostasis affect our health?

While the allostatic response is essential for our survival, it can also have negative consequences for our health if it is activated too often or for too long. When we are exposed to chronic stress, our bodies can remain in a state of allostatic load, which can lead to a number of health problems, including heart disease, stroke, obesity, and diabetes. Allostatic load can also contribute to mental health problems such as anxiety and depression.

How can we reduce allostatic load?

There are a number of things that we can do to reduce our allostatic load and improve our health. These include:

Getting regular exercise
Eating a healthy diet
Getting enough sleep
Managing stress
Connecting with others

Allostasis is a complex process that has a significant impact on our health. By understanding allostasis, we can take steps to reduce our allostatic load and improve our overall health and well-being. Allostasis and the Evolution of Human Design is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about the relationship between our environment and our health.
