Multiple clinical studies in different areas of medicine demonstrate the primary role of homeostasis in healthy functioning and the consequencesContinue reading “Dyshomeostasis in human feeding”

In this 12th post in the series, I look at the implications of energy ‘dyshomeostasis’, when normal homeostasis breaks down. Health is regulated by homeostasis, a property of all living things. Homeostasis maintains equilibrium at set-points using feedback loops for optimum functioning of the organism. Long-term disruptions of homeostasis or ‘dyshomeostasis’ arise through genetic, environmentalContinue reading “The General Theory of Behaviour XII:Stopping the Obesity Crisis”
