Beyond symptoms: understanding your health
A translational medical discipline that examines interconnected body systems and their relationship with psychological, social, sexual, ecological and transgenerational aspects of your life
What is Clinical Psychoneuroimmunology (CPNI)?
CPNI is a new translational medical discipline that brings the focus back to people. It examines the patient from a more humanistic perspective, and seeks out the origin of the disease. This approach gives patients a leading role in their wellbeing, and promotes a healthy lifestyle.
CPNI explores the interactions between the neurological, endocrine, immune and metabolic systems. It examines the patient’s broader psychological, social, and ecological context to paint a more complete picture of their health.
The Science of CPNI
CPNI practitioners recognize health as a consequence of the past, not just the present. They recognise and work with visible symptoms, and also carry out a thorough evaluation of the patient’s lifestyle and history.
This involves the analysis of biomarkers as well as physiological parameters, diet, physical activity, psycho-emotional context, personal and medical history, and social, sexual, economic and ecological environment.
This discipline is based on the understanding that unbalanced energy distribution drives chronic pathologies. It takes into account that the majority of ailments of this type have a low-grade inflammatory or immune mediated basis that can be modulated with nutritional, emotional and lifestyle changes.
Clinical Psychoneuro-immunology
The next step in clinical practice and support
1. Focus on people and not symptoms
2. Recover the etiological conception of medicine: look for the origin of the disease and the pathophysiology of the disease
3. Examine the patient from a more human perspective. Testing is accompanied by the emotional, social and evolutionary analysis of the patient, as well as their ability to adapt to challenges
4. Incorporates into clinical practice the scientific knowledge that describes the close biochemical relationship between the neurological, endocrinological, immune and metabolic systems.
5. Compared to the disease-prescription formula, it promotes changes in habits derived from an exhaustive analysis of the patient and their context.
6. Gives the patient a leading role in the future of their well-being, allowing them to share the knowledge that concerns their state of health and to increase the drucebo effects of most interventions
7. Conceives health as the correct distribution of resources between cells, tissues, organs, systems and societies
8. Protects the body from the harmful habits of modern life through innovative mechanisms based on science
9. Addresses chronic diseases caused by low-grade inflammatory processes that significantly affect our health
10. Therefore, it provides a comprehensive patient-centered health model and an accurate description of the disease.
The 5 Metamodels
At the heart of our CPNI approach are the Five Meta models. These sophisticated frameworks provide a systematic and comprehensive way to understand the complex interactions within your body and mind. They guide our assessment and intervention strategies, allowing us to pinpoint areas of imbalance across various physiological systems. From metabolic processes to neuroendocrine function, these models ensure that we consider every angle of your health, leading to precise and effective therapeutic plans tailored specifically for your needs. This structured approach helps us navigate complex health puzzles and design interventions that truly make a difference.
