A rare or specialized term relating to the relationship between emotions and metabolic processes in the body, particularly how feelings affect physical biochemistry.
Compound term formed from 'emotion' + 'metabolic' (from Greek 'metabole' meaning 'change'). This appears to be a specialized medical or psychological neologism of the 20th century.
This ultra-specialized term captures something real—emotions literally change your metabolism through hormones like cortisol and adrenaline—but it's so technical that even scientists usually just say 'stress affects metabolism!'
