Farmicine Healthcare
The twelve root causes

Every symptom traces back to one of twelve patterns

Farmicine does not organise health by organ or by diagnosis but by the upstream pattern that drives how you feel. Twelve patterns, B1 to B12, each with its signs, the labs a doctor can use to confirm it, the foods that address it and the solution built on it.

🔥
B1 · METRON R

Chronic Inflammation

A low, steady internal fire the body never fully puts out, quietly wearing down tissues over years.

⚡
B2 · METRON O

Oxidative Stress

Free radicals outpace the body's antioxidant defences, ageing cells faster than they can repair.

⚖️
B3 · METRON E

Metabolic Dysfunction

Insulin resistance and glycation drive a slow metabolic drift — weight around the middle, energy swings and rising sugar.

🌱
B4 · METRON N

Gut Dysbiosis & Leaky Gut

An imbalanced microbiome and a permeable gut wall let the wrong things in — and the rest of the body pays.

🌸
B5 · METRON E

Hormonal Imbalance

The endocrine axes — thyroid, adrenal, sex hormones — drift out of tune with stress, toxins and nutrient gaps.

💧
B6 · METRON T

Impaired Detoxification

Liver, kidney, lymph and skin are overloaded — the body's clearance systems fall behind the daily load.

🔋
B7 · METRON M

Mitochondrial Dysfunction

The cells' power plants are under-fuelled and low on energy — fatigue is a supply problem more often than a sleep problem.

🛡️
B8 · METRON R

Immune Dysregulation

The immune system over-reacts, under-reacts, or turns on the body — losing the balance between tolerance and force.

❤️
B9 · METRON E

Cardiovascular & Microcirculation

The blood-vessel lining loses its flexibility, and circulation — from heart to fingertip — becomes less efficient.

🦴
B10 · METRON O

Connective Tissue & Structural Decline

Collagen, bone and the body's structural scaffolding weaken faster than they are rebuilt.

🧘
B11 · METRON M

Chronic Stress & HPA Axis

Sustained cortisol elevation sits upstream of much ill health — it amplifies every other root cause.

🦠
B12 · METRON N

Pathogenic Burden

A stealth bacterial, viral, fungal or parasitic load keeps the immune system busy and the gut unsettled.

Beneath the twelve

METRON — six pillars of cellular health

Every programme, score and dashboard ring connects to one of these.

M

Mitochondrial fitness

Cellular energy — the output of the cell's power plants.

E

Energy & metabolic flexibility

Insulin sensitivity and the ability to switch fuels.

T

Toxin clearance

Detoxification and elimination through liver, kidney, bowel, lymph and skin.

R

Resolution of inflammation

Actively ending inflammation, not just suppressing it.

O

Optimised nutrient sensing

The longevity pathways — mTOR, AMPK, autophagy — and how they are fed.

N

Nourished microbiome

A diverse, resilient gut community.
