Ask properly. Map transparently. Size the plan. Stay.
Most wellness sites sell a product and hope. Farmicine runs a method: the advisory asks the way a careful clinician asks, turns the answers into a map you can see, sizes a three, six or twelve-month plan from your own causes and habits, and keeps measuring until the stack can shrink. Here is each step and what it rests on.
Your words first, then round one
It starts with the problem as you would say it to a friend — "tired by 3 pm", "knees stiff every morning". After the basics that change the advice (age, sex, diet, any diagnosed condition, the medicines you take), the follow-up offers tick-box lists for the areas your words point to. The lists come from our symptom database: the complaints and visible signs that nutrition can inform — tiredness, pale inner eyelids, cracked mouth corners, cramps, the 4 pm crash — with red-flag items shown separately because they mean a doctor first. Tick what applies; type where a tick is not precise enough.
Round two — ruling out look-alikes
The same tiredness can be iron, thyroid, sleep debt or a statin side-effect. Round two asks the discriminating questions from our differential-triage table — breathless on stairs? heavy periods? did the aches start after the tablet? — and completes any nutrient cluster that is nearly matched. Each probe names the test that would settle it, so a hypothesis never becomes a purchase without a number behind it.
Your answer, and the map
The advisory answers the question you actually asked, against the map it has just built — food first, the smallest useful supplement, the test that confirms it. Your ticks are scored against 399 symptom-to-nutrient links and 18 deficiency clusters, then mapped to one of twelve root-cause patterns. The dashboard shows the result as headings Farmicine intends to address — from your answers, from your age, from your reports — each with its status: identified, confirm with a test, rule out first, habit lever. Six cellular scores read from the same answers.
The plan — three, six or twelve months
One clear pattern and a short list of corrections is a three-month plan. Several patterns, a diagnosed condition or several habits to rebuild is six. Linked systems need a year with quarterly reviews. Every plan leads with the Farmicine Plate for your themes and uses the smallest useful stack, shipped monthly, re-checked at Day 45 and 90 — and it is one tap from the cart.
Reports and numbers
Upload a lab report PDF or photo and the Bloodwork Reader checks critical values first, applies Indian reference ranges and 32 confounder rules, and turns what nutrition can correct into food-first steps — saved to your map. Or type the numbers from your doctor-first checks: blood pressure, HbA1c, lipids, thyroid, vitamin D, B12, ferritin. Every number sharpens the scores.
Stay, measure, lighten
The dashboard keeps the relationship going: re-checks, the Practice habits from your answers, a "how is it going?" loop read by a nutritionist, and graduation into maintenance. The assistant icon is on every page, so you can pick the conversation up wherever you are — and it already knows your map.
How it asks and when it stops
- Your statement before our questions. The problem in your words sets the direction; every follow-up question exists to narrow it to a cause.
- Basics before probing. Age, sex, diet, medicines and pregnancy change every answer, so they come next.
- Tick first, type second. Lists are faster and more complete than open questions; free text is always there for precision.
- Five minutes, then act. Round one gathers; round two discriminates; then the question is answered — no question is asked that does not change the answer.
- Rule out before you rule in. Every likely gap is paired with its confirmatory test; every look-alike with its discriminating question.
- Red flags stop everything. Chest pain, breathlessness, blood where it should not be, unexplained weight loss, a floppy child — the conversation ends with "a doctor first", not a suggestion.
- Food first, always. A supplement appears only where the plate cannot reach or a test shows a gap.
- The smallest useful stack. Two to four products, never a shelf; the stack is designed to shrink at Day 45 and 90.
- Honest timelines. Bacopa takes twelve weeks; ashwagandha root six to eight; the pack says so.
- Structure and function only. Supports, helps maintain, works toward — never treats, cures, reverses or prevents a disease.
- Your data is yours. Guest answers stay on your device; signed-in data lives in India under the DPDP Act and can be downloaded or deleted any time.
Two ways in
State your problem in your dashboard and take the five-minute follow-up, or say it to the assistant in conversation — both build the same map. Advisory is ₹100 a month; a solution package is ₹3,000 for 3 months or ₹6,000 for 6, with Advisory Plus included.
