The 7 founding pillars of health, in 4 months and 19 chapters.
Foundations of life
Introduction: optimal health versus chronic disease, and the medicine of the 4Ps. Chemistry of life, cell biology, genetics and epigenetics.
The digestive system
Digestive tract, digestion, absorption, intestinal barrier and microbiome.
Energy & lipids
Fatty acids, mitochondria, energy metabolism and oxidative stress.
Regulation & terrain
Detoxification, methylation, glucose and insulin metabolism.
Nutritional and functional medicine reverses the dominant logic: from the medicine of disease, centered on suppressing the symptom, to a medicine of health that optimizes the physiological terrain and prevents recurrence. We can only act effectively on what we know and understand; personalizing means accounting for all of the patient's variabilities.
- 01MetabolicThe biochemical terrain of each organism.
- 02GeneticWhat we carry as inheritance.
- 03EpigeneticWhat the environment and our choices activate.
- 04MetagenomicThe dialogue with the microbiome.
From the atom to the mitochondria, from the microbiome to immunity.
Biochemistry, genetics, mitochondrial energy, microbiome, micronutrient status, inflammation and terrain: physiological domains that the program teaches you to connect into a single, integrative reading of the terrain.
- 01Le tube digestif et le microbiote intestinal
- 02L'énergie cellulaire (mitochondries et stress oxydant)
- 03Les acides gras et leurs rôles multifonctionnels
- 04L'intoxication et la détoxication
- 05Le métabolisme glucido-insulinique
- 06L'inflammation et l'immunité
- 07Les nutriments essentiels au fonctionnement des cellules, des tissus et des systèmes de l'organisme
A comprehensive program for an expert level, with no unnecessary simplification, for professionals who want to ground their practice in physiology: physicians, allied health professionals, natural health practitioners, researchers and educators. Functional micronutrition comes to strengthen any existing medical approach.
The foundations of life.
Rebuild the biochemical and cellular foundation before any application. As with every month, this pillar closes with a clinical case worked through with the professor.
- 1.1
Introduction
Optimal health versus chronic disease, and the medicine of the 4Ps.
- 1.2
The chemistry of life
Atoms, covalent and ionic bonds, electronegativity; tetravalent carbon and its combinatorial diversity.
- 1.3
Cell and molecular biology
The cell as a system: plasma membrane, organelles, ionic gradients.
- 1.4
Genetics and epigenetics
The medicine of the 4Ps, alternative splicing and isoforms, genotype and phenotype.
- 1.5
Clinical case of the month
A first case worked through with the professor, to anchor the reasoning.
By Vincenzo CastronovoProf. Vincenzo Castronovo, pioneer of nutritional and functional medicine.
A vision where the rigor of fundamental science meets clinical reasoning, in the service of the patient. Understand first, learn next, apply last.
Rebuild your foundations, transform your practice.
Four months to connect biochemistry, the cell, digestion, lipids, energy and immunity into one unified clinical reasoning, validated by a certifying clinical case. Sessions from September to December, fully remote.
