Our podcast guest, Michael Mabry, DO, works in a fully capitated medical group in Johnson City, Tennessee. Capitation is a fee-per-patient model, which tends to promote health by incentivizing preventative medicine, chronic disease reversal and helping patients maintain their health. Implementing group medical visits has allowed Dr. Mabry's practice to improve patient outcomes and increase the local community's access to lifestyle medicine. In his group visits, patients who have similar medical issues come together once a month for a two-hour visit to learn relevant health information. Dr. Mabry also shared that he can spend more time with patients individually because he has systemized patient education. Part of the success of the group visits, according to Dr. Mabry, comes from the much-needed sense of community experienced by participants. Early in his career, he learned about how to build and scale his practice through some of the first Functional Forum events and the Group Visit Toolkits from Lifestyle Matrix Resource Center. When you listen to this episode, you'll also learn about the following: How to connect your business needs with your passion for lifestyle medicine to evolve health care The benefits of capitation as a business model How you can foster connections with your local community to build your business Practical alternatives for dysfunctional payment models in the health care industry And much more!
On this episode, Jon D. Kaiser, MD taught us about the mitochondrial health and chronic disease connection. Dr. Kaiser is a mitochondrial specialist with over thirty years of clinical and research experience in applying functional medicine approaches to treat complex medical conditions, including HIV/AIDS, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), fibromyalgia and long COVID. Dr. Kaiser began his career as an HIV/AIDS specialist in San Francisco at the height of the HIV epidemic. He found that many of his patients needed nutritional and mitochondrial support, especially after manifesting antiviral medication side effects. He developed protocols to help patients improve their baseline health with an original nutraceutical formulation that supports mitochondrial health. Dr. Kaiser joined James to discuss how he has applied his protocols to help patients with other chronic illnesses and post-infection syndromes. Tune in to learn more from Dr. Kaiser about the following topics: Lifestyle factors that support healing beyond other integrative interventions How mitochondria are chemically and electrically connected and communicate with each other throughout the body Parasympathetic activation as a critical component of recovery How the poor mitochondrial function impacts the neuro-endocrine-immune axis and gastrointestinal tract His vision for the next steps in medicine, including the need for a readily available blood test that assays the health of mitochondria in blood cells This episode continues to explore the theme laid out in the August 2023 Functional Forum, Mitochondrial Mayem, where we learned how mitochondrial dysfunction leads to a wide range of chronic illnesses—from autoimmunity to cardiometabolic disease, neurologic disorders and more.
Molly Maloof, MD joins the Evolution of Medicine podcast to discuss a shared vision: connection as a critical pillar of healthcare. Dr. Maloof recently authored and released a book called The Spark Factor, which teaches readers how to personalize biohacking strategies for better energy and health. Dr. Maloof wrote portions of the book to fill the information gaps in biohacking for women, but 80% of its content is also applicable to men. If you listen to this short yet powerful episode, you'll quickly recognize how well-aligned Dr. Maloof is with our year of connection. She discussed how loneliness and lack of connection—either social or connecting with your own body and health—is a leading crisis, especially post-pandemic. Please listen to the full audio to learn more about the following: How The Spark Factor helps readers personalize their journey to improve their mitochondrial energy How the Functional Forum will be even more critical in the age of digital and medical censorship The seriousness of the loneliness and mental health crises Some practical tips for women to better align with their cycles Tips on fasting and exercise for different patient groups And much, much more!
Dan Strause is the president and CEO of Hometown Pharmacy, which is a network of 70 independent functional pharmacies across Wisconsin and Upper Michigan that deliver patient-focused care. The Hometown Pharmacy group seeks to connect prescribing clinicians with pharmacists to collaborate and achieve the goal of moving patients from pharmaceuticals to nutraceuticals to food. They see a critical need for pharmacists to reconnect and work with prescribing clinicians, especially to mitigate or address drug-induced nutrient deficiencies. Building relationships between patients, prescribing clinicians and pharmacists often starts with patients asking questions and engaging with their health care. Thus, the functional pharmacy approach involves empowering and inspiring patients through health education. Listen to this full conversation to learn from Dan about the many innovative strategies the group incorporates, including: Sending dieticians and nutritionists to speak within communities about functional pharmacies to educate and inspire at a grassroots level A test-teach-therapy-test approach with patients Using scientific literature and dialog to build relationships with like-minded clinicians Learning how to best work with patients to foster adherence And much, much more! Dan Strause is a keynote speaker at the upcoming Functional Pharmacy Symposium on September 23 in Nashville, TN. He will be joined by other former Functional Forum and Evolution of Medicine podcast guests, such as James LaValle, RPh; Thomas G. Guilliams, PhD; Mark Houston, MD; and Jeff Robins, RPh.

“America's drop in life expectancy is ridiculous compared to the rest of the world. And there's so many things driving that and many of those things would be helped with the deployment of functional medicine at scale,” explains James Maskell, co-founder of the Functional Forum and author of The Evolution of Medicine and The Community Cure. The increase in people being diagnosed with chronic illnesses is a real problem, especially in America. In order to really change this, functional medicine and group visits have to be adopted on a wide scale. But how do you get consumers to commit to making the necessary changes? And how do you equip integrative and functional medicine providers to guide that transition more effectively? In this episode, James discusses the benefits of group care, the importance of finding ways to deliver the functional medicine system without stacking more tasks onto the doctors' plates, and the ways in which a provider can become a private functional medicine practitioner without even having to open a whole new physical practice. Quotes “You could probably start a practice for $20,000 or less because you just needed a laptop, you could do majority telemedicine, work in a co-working space, and you don't need all of the kind of capital that was needed previously.” (6:48-7:00 | James) “The Evolution of Medicine brand and company has always been to help doctors make the switch to practice in a low overhead functional medicine environment.” (9:20-9:29 | James) “We needed to really find a way of delivering this functional medicine operating system in a way that was not reliant on doctors becoming executors, actually not reliant on doctors at all.” (11:06-11:17 | James) “Do virtual groups work? It turns out they do, and in many cases, much better.” (14:42-14:46 | James) “People were so grateful to have this kind of community. We saw people supporting each other in interesting ways. And we saw also that with these longitudinal sessions, like it started off as a three month group, real friendships were possible. And they were not only possible, but they were happening.” (17:11-17:27 | James) “America's drop in life expectancy is ridiculous compared to the rest of the world. And there's so many things driving that and many of those things would be helped with the deployment of functional medicine at scale.” (20:06-20:16 | James) Connect with James Maskell: Website: https://www.jamesmaskell.com/ Book: https://www.jamesmaskell.com/books Facebook: http://facebook.com/JamesEdwardMaskell Instagram: http://instagram.com/mrjamesmaskell LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesmaskell Twitter: https://twitter.com/mrjamesmaskell ==== Thank You For Listening!

The Catalyst: Sparking Creative Transformation in Healthcare
“Not only do you solve loneliness in the groups, but you actually create a structure whereby new behaviors can be implemented as a norm within the group,” shares James Maskell, Creator of The Functional Forum and Author of The Community Cure. James created a community system for functional medicine practitioners and patients with chronic diseases that is virtual, accessible, and provides group-based care. James realized that groups were necessary for treating chronic disease because people are more successful when they have a support system backing them and because the real healing happens in between doctor's appointments during day to day life. Many people who suffer with chronic illnesses such as autoimmune diseases, do not believe they can be cured. Having a group around them that is supportive and truly believes they can reverse their disease is pivotal for patients' mindsets. Loneliness is linked to worse health outcomes, so a group setting can help by reducing loneliness in chronically ill patients. It is also useful for creating structure and reinforcing healthy behaviors that may not be as easy to stick with individually. Tune into this week's episode of The Catalyst to learn more about the community care model of functional medicine and the incredible success rate these programs have for treating and reversing chronic diseases. Quotes • “The first question that I asked is, ‘Is chronic disease reversible?' And I think that has to be the foundation question. Because if chronic disease is going up like this, and the cost of chronic disease is going up like this, then ultimately, we have to really understand what is chronic disease? Where does it come from? How is it different from acute disease? And how do we get people out of it?” (3:59-4:19 | James) • “Not only do you solve loneliness in the groups, but you actually create a structure where new behaviors can be implemented as a norm within the group.” (13:20-13:29 | James) • “If you create a whole episode of care that uses Zooms and allows people to connect in between the Zooms, that whole episode can be more effective than coming to a location every week. And the reason for that is that in between the Zooms, is where health happens.” (14:52-15:09 | James) • “You can create new profit centers on insurance and reduce burnout by taking the time element that's needed for behavior change, put it on the group, so you can focus on your precision work.” (44:39-44:52 | James) Links HealCommunity Website: www.healcommunity.com Connect with Lara: Website: https://drlarasalyer.com Instagram: @drlarasalyer Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drlarasalyer Linked-In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drlarasalyer/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DrLaraSalyer TikTok: @Creativity.Doctor Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
Community-based health transformation can be unleashed by uniting traditional allopathic medicine with lifestyle medicine. To achieve a vision for population health, we will never change things by fighting the existing reality – we must instead innovate to render that old model obsolete. On a mission to flatten the curve of healthcare costs, James Maskell has spent the past decade innovating at the cross section of functional medicine and community. To that end, he created the Functional Forum, the world's largest integrative medicine conference with record-setting participation online and growing physician communities around the world. His organization and bestselling book of the same name, Evolution of Medicine, prepares health professionals for this new era of personalized, participatory medicine. His new project, HealCommunity, follows his second book "The Community Cure", makes it easy for clinics and health systems to deliver lifestyle focused care effectively and frictionlessly. He is a high-demand speaker and impresario, being featured on TEDMED, HuffPostLive and TEDx, as well as lecturing internationally. In this episode, you will learn about the impact of social isolation on chronic disease, functional group medicine, the development of a community layer as a foundation to the population care pyramid, Empowerment Group models, Human Social Genomics and precision medicine, behavior health and psychedelic therapies, and the power of lifestyle-enabled value-based care.

Functional Medicine Practitioners: What You Will Learn: James' journey into the field of functional medicine How James has been able to help functional medicine practitioners move the needle and grow their business How functional medicine is changing, and what doctors can do to get on the front end of this new movement Why it is so important to get buy-in from your patients in the new era of functional medicine James' perspective on what functional medicine is, and what it should be Different factors that are helping push functional medicine into the mainstream How the commercialization of functional medicine could potentially screw it up The 5C model of functional medicine transformation A New Era of Functional Medicine James Maskell is the founder of The Functional Forum, a monthly program that covers the most important clinical topics, practice development strategies, and the latest health technology for functional medicine practitioners. He also hosts the Evolution of Medicine podcast, which just celebrated its 80th episode. And he is the author of two books, “The Community Cure” and “The Evolution of Medicine.” In this episode of The FM Shift, James joins us to share his journey into the functional medicine field. He shares his perspective on what functional medicine is and what it should be so we can make a greater impact on a greater number of people. Back to the Roots James has been on an incredible journey so far, and since 2014, he has been helping functional medicine practitioners find new ways to move the needle and grow their business. James is able to offer a unique perspective to business problems at FM practices because he doesn't look at them through the lens of a clinician. He has been able to help doctors digitize their practices, build a low-overhead business model, and pursue their passion for functional medicine full-time with greater profitability. James is going back to the fundamental roots of functional medicine, because before we can address the needs of individual people, we have to transform their desire to want to participate. Getting Buy-in From Your Patients The real work of functional medicine practitioners is coming face-to-face with another human being and helping them create a plan of attack to address the things that are making them unhealthy. With a more effective business model in place, these types of doctors can make an impact on a greater number of patients. The most effective functional medicine practices James has worked with put lifestyle first. Once you put your patients in control of their own life and act as a guide on their journey, you will see your practice grow. If you want to get in the front end of this new era of functional medicine, you have to get more buy-in from your patients, helping them understand why they will see results from working with you, and how to participate in their care.

In Episode 019 of A Medicinal Mind: Wisdom and Wellbeing I share a conversation with integrative psychiatrist Will Van Derveer MD. As you will hear in the podcast, I first came across Will as part of his joint presentation with Dr. Janet Settle on the February 2017 edition of the Evolution of Medicine's Functional Forum: the Evolution of Integrative Psychiatry. Serendipitously, before I had a chance to reach out to Will to thank him for his inspiring presentation, he contacted me following the release of my E-Book on Integrative and Functional Medicine Education, and a friendship was born. Will Van Derveer, MD is the founder and medical director of the Integrative Psychiatric Healing Center in Boulder, CO, where he has practiced integrative psychiatry for 15 years. Dr. Van Derveer is a diplomate of the American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine (ABoIHM) since 2013, and he was board certified in the first wave of diplomates of the new American Board of Integrative Medicine (ABIM) in 2016. He is course director for the University of Colorado psychiatry residents' course on integrative psychiatry, and is a co-founder and core faculty of the in-depth integrative psychiatry training program, The Psychiatry Masterclass. Dr. Van Derveer regards emotional trauma as a significant root cause of psychiatric symptoms in integrative psychiatry practice, along with gut issues, hormone imbalances, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and other functional medicine problems. He provides to most of his patients somatic psychotherapy for trauma recovery. Trained as a meditation instructor, he teaches mindfulness to his patients. In addition to his clinical work and teaching, he was co-investigator in 2016 a Phase II randomized clinical trial of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for treatment-resistant post-traumatic stress disorder, sponsored by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), the protocol of which has recently been approved by FDA for an upcoming phase III clinical trial. In our conversation, we dig in deep as Will shares his revolutionary framework for approaching mental illness, one where Will recognizes a trinity of interconnected and primary contributions to a patient's present illness including psychospiritual disturbance, physiologic imbalances and a patient's specific presenting symptoms. Will provides us with some practical methods for using lifestyle approaches to address chronic mental illness and outlines how he incorporates both medications and lifestyle medicine in his practice. We explore some of the fascinating science behind the bidirectional gut brain axis and the influence of various dietary and environmental factors such as gluten and glyphosate to disrupt one's optimal functioning. Seeking to revise or perhaps dispel the currently espoused neurotransmitter imbalance theory of mental illness, Will walks us through the inflammatory cytokine or the inflammatory brain hypothesis and its power, in combination with the exploration of adverse and traumatic experiences to explain much of our current mental health crisis.

We even dabble in exploring the emerging field of genetics, pharmacogenomics and the role of genetic testing to inform treatment in mental illness. There was so much to cover in this podcast, and we will certainly have Will back for more of his insights and wisdom.

In Episode 008 of A Medicinal Mind: Wisdom and Wellbeing, 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 discussion addressing 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? 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. 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? 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.

This week on the Evolution of Medicine podcast, we welcome back Dr. Robin Berzin. The last time she was on the show, we featured her on the podcast New Models of Functional Medicine. She had just opened up her membership based direct primary care Functional Medicine practice, Parsley Health, in New York. We've brought her back because her practice is now a huge success. She's implemented many of the things that we speak about in the 60 Day Practice Accelerator program and the Functional Forum. James, as a member of her practice, has witnessed it firsthand. Dr. Berzin is now opening more practices and looking for more physicians to bring on board. If the membership model and Dr. Berzin's practice inspires you, check out the membership model course we're offering at the end of July in Salk Lake City. It's a much more efficient way to capture the value of what you provide in Functional Medicine and it makes it much more affordable for patients. Click here for more information.

This week, we feature food mood expert, Trudy Scott. She's a certified nutritionist and on a mission to educate and empower anxious individuals worldwide about nutritional and natural solutions for anxiety, stress, and emotional eating. She came to our recent Functional Forum in San Francisco and afterwards approached us with some great ideas about how we can make the Functional Forum more approachable for those with social anxiety. If you've seen the forum, you know that Gabe and James are not introverted by any stretch of the imagination, so, it was great to learn from the experience of others. In this podcast you will learn: why introversion is a nutrition deficiency and not a personality type how to become a better networker, speaker and practitioner by understanding the social anxiety of others how to start a Functional Forum meetup and make it a great experience for introverts
Welcome back to our popular podcast series entitled "The Future of Patient Compliance" where we document the journey from compliance to empowerment as medicine shifts from a patriarchal model that was a good fit for acute disease, to more of a nurturing, community model that is more suited to chronic disease. One of our first sponsors on the Functional Forum was Freedom Practice Coaching, who have bemuse the biggest company in the industry for helping doctors transition to a more suitable model for chronic disease care. We have shared some of their best strategies on previous podcasts, but this week we talk about a different area of compliance.... doctor compliance. How compliant are you with what you need to do to improve your practice? If you are asking patients to change behavior or make investments into their health, how do you comply with your own areas of weakness? In this podcast we speak with Deborah Matthew, MD a physician leader from North Carolina who speaks openly about what it really took to build a successful practice model, from being just busy to building a profitable, efficient practice. In this podcast you will learn Why a busy practice isn't always a successful practice What it took for this doctor to get out of her own way The key strategies Dr. Matthew took from FPC to take her to success Freedom Practice Coaching is excited to announce they have a new weekend program to teach practitioners their lead flow and packaging system and have them leave with a 90 day plan to implement. The Functional Forum and Evolution of Medicine community can sign up at vastly discounted rates until the end of April. Find out more here www.goevomed.com/FPC
We have been thrilled at the feedback from our community from our "Future of Patient Compliance" series, where we have started the conversation about how we can shift the conversation on "compliance" to "empowerment" and see how technology can best help us to scale and automate that transition. More than any other podcast in this series, we are thrilled to bring this interview to you. One of the main reasons for this is that the Functional Forum had a role in bringing this technology into the world. One of our goals at the Forum was to bring together technologists and Functional Medicine doctors to see how those collisions could lead to solutions for our community. If you have been following the Forum you know about MBODY360, an app that creates a new level of engagement between patient and practitioner. In this episode you will hear from Kari Thorstensen, the creator of the app, and Dr. Vincent Pedre, Functional Medicine physician and digital innovator. In this podcast we discuss How Kari came to create the underlying technology for MBODY360 How MBODY360 tracks actively and passively to create real connection Why MBODY360 has become a key tool in Dr Pedre's practice
Each week on the Leaders of the kNEW School series, we are speak to female physicians who are changing the conversation with medicine and building us towards a medical system that is much more effective at treating chronic disease. Today we feature Dr. Stephanie Daniel and we speak about thyroid and hormonal health. We'll also be featuring Dr. Daniel at the next Functional Forum on April 4th in San Francisco. You can find more out more about her work on her website at functionalmedicineSF.com What you will learn in this podcast: thyroid and hormonal health and it's complexity the role of evolutionary biology how intuition plays a role in her practice
