Allostatic load and homeostasis are related because allostatic load represents the physiological cost of maintaining stability through change, which integrates homeostasis processes [1]. Furthermore, allostatic overload is defined by the failure to return to homeostasis, resulting in a dysregulated baseline [2] [3].

claimAllostatic overload (AOL) marks the onset of disease where a return to homeostasis is impossible and a new, unhealthy baseline for the body is created by shifting optimal homeostasis parameters like blood pressure.
claimThe new baseline created under allostatic overload (AOL) does not equate to homeostasis; it is an unhealthy, dysregulated baseline caused by persistent exposure to stress.

claimThe framework of allostasis, allostatic load, and overload is defined as stability through change, attempting to combine homeostasis processes in day-to-day physiological and behavioral responses.
