In Episode 008 of A Medicinal Mind: Wisdom and Well-Being, we welcome the innovative creator of the world’s largest integrative medicine conference, the Functional Forum and integrative medicine visionary James Maskell.

I was quite fortunate to connect with James in October 2016 at a Functional Forum event in Washington D.C. and have since collaborated in creating and releasing my E-Book on Functional and Integrative Medicine Education. James has been perhaps my single biggest influence pushing me to become an educator and advocate for functional medicine and is a tremendously passionate role model for anyone seeking to reverse chronic disease and achieve optimal health.
​

Back in March of this year, I was honored to be a part of James’ podcast The Evolution of Medicine’s Functional Forum, where we discussed the vision and purpose of the functional medicine education resource E-Book and the greater need to expand medical education beyond medical school walls and hospital wards.

As a continuation of this conversation, we share today in a reflective and hopeful conversation addressing
1. A brief State of the Union for the Functional Forum and Functional Medicine education as a whole.    
  • What are we doing well as a community?
  • How and where have we progressed?
  • What are the biggest challenges yet to be faced?

2. Updates on educational opportunities through the Institute for Functional Medicine
  • New pricing for medical students and residents
  • The opportunity to attend conferences via online streaming
  • A new foundational and inexpensive online module offered through the IFM for those just getting started in Functional Medicine or wishing for a robust refresher.

3.  Ways to continue to grow community and promote this type of care in the next generation of clinicians.
  • Where is the best place to start a practice?
  • How do we engage more medical students? Residents? pushing them to start a private practice in the first place
  • Is a church an ideal starting place for a Functional medicine micropractice?
    
4. James’ latest projects and visions for the Functional Forum
  • Journey to 100. Can we get human life expectancy to 100?
  • How the Functional Forum is adapting and evolving to meet the needs of each community
  • How they are supporting innovators bringing CME and medical students into the Functional Forum meet-ups

I was so thrilled to share in this conversation with James and hope you enjoy and feed off the the tremendous energy and passion in this exhilarating discussion.
