However, with the above in mind, we still need to institute measures that
reduce allostatic load when the above mentioned factors and other environmental stressors are clearly excessive.
For, to me, it leads us to the powerfully positive message that, by following the
allostatic load guidelines that suggest we take the approach of both
reducing cumulative environmental
load and optimizing
allostatic response mechanisms that revolve around hormones such as cortisol, epinephrine, and insulin plus the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, detoxification, and immune systems, we can make major inroads in
reducing human suffering.
