Functional Integrated Medicine (Health Coach)
A Functional Integrated Medicine is the concept that, in Miguel Figueiredo's understanding, describes his approach to diagnosis and treatment.
An Integrated Functional Medicine consultation may have as its objective improve your health in general or have some more specific goals like, for example, the emaciation (weight loss due to loss of fat mass), o diabetes control (Type I and II diabetes), the control of digestive/intestinal tract pathologies or diseases autoimmune, elaboration of a nutritional plan of ketogenic diet, Among others.
The 8 Fundamentals of Functional Integrated Medicine
Whatever your objective, according to Miguel Figueiredo, there are 8 fundamentals that are in the base of health and that they are closely linked together. A failure in a system or function can be the cause or consequence of a set of chain reactions that lead to imbalance. Therefore, the identification of these fundamentals is essential in the development of a therapeutic orientation, especially when priorities must be defined. The 8 fundamentals are:
- Promote and maintain healthy inputs
- Optimize digestion and elimination
- Control and develop the mind and emotions
- Reduce Inflammation/Support Immune System
- Strengthen and maintain the physical skeletal muscle structure
- Optimize Metabolism and Energy
- Balancing Hormones and Neurotransmitters
- Promote Detoxification
