In this podcast episode, James Maskell interviews Dr. Navaz Habib about the importance of the vagus nerve in healing and overall health. Dr. Habib explains that the vagus nerve plays a critical role in shifting the body from a sympathetic (fight or flight) state to a parasympathetic (rest and digest) state, which is necessary for healing. He emphasizes the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment for patients to feel connected and reduce stress. Dr. Habib also discusses the role of physical trauma, such as head injuries or spinal misalignments, in affecting vagus nerve function. He recommends various strategies to improve vagus nerve tone, including diaphragmatic breathing, gargling, humming and physical exercise. Dr. Habib's new book, Upgrade Your Vagus Nerve, provides further information on these strategies and their impact on overall health. Listen to the full conversation to learn how: The vagus nerve is the organ of unity, connecting all organs and systems in the body. Chronic diseases are diseases of disconnection, both internally and externally. Breathing exercises, such as slow, nasal and diaphragmatic breathing, can help regulate the breath and shift the body into a parasympathetic state. Gargling, humming and vocalization can stimulate the vagus nerve and activate the parasympathetic system. The vagus nerve is a unifying topic for health professionals and can be beneficial for patients of all ages and conditions.

James Maskell's guest on this episode is Jeffrey Morrison, MD, whose clinical approach is to use nutrition to prevent or reverse degenerative and chronic disease. In both his clinical practice and as a member of the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine, he considers detoxification as a critical foundation to health. During this conversation, Dr. Morrison emphasizes that toxins in the environment are a major cause of disease and that our bodies are not equipped to handle the vast array of chemicals present in our modern environment. He explains that detoxification is a natural process where cells push toxins into the connective tissue, which then moves them through the lymphatic system, liver, gallbladder, and digestive tract for elimination (or through sweat or breath). However, if the body is overwhelmed with toxins or if the detoxification process is hindered, symptoms and illness can occur. Most often, this looks like visible inflammation, aches and pains, fatigue, skin issues and brain fog.   Dr. Morrison recommends supporting detoxification through practices such as regular exercise, anti-inflammatory eating, drinking plenty of water, and maintaining regular bowel movements. He also discusses the importance of the lymphatic system in detoxification and the role of the nervous system in regulating detoxification.  Please listen to this full episode to learn more about: Group detox programs to save costs and time, for clinicans and patients alike.  The role of saunas in detoxification The American Academy of Environmental Medicine's focus on educating practitioners and advocacy for environmental health And much more!  Evolution of Medicine's partner, Lifestyle Matrix Resources Center can point you to patient education materials, as well as protocols related to detoxification as well.

“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!

Today's healthcare system is struggling, from physician shortages to the chronic disease epidemic. But what if we could solve these challenges with a new model of community-driven medicine that focused on group visits and support? Our guest today believes we can. He is an author, speaker, community builder, and healthcare entrepreneur.This is The Story of the Community Cure with James Maskell.

James Maskell is the author of The Community Cure and a pioneering entrepreneur in the functional medicine space. Originally working in economics, James started his company, HealCommunity, 16 years ago as a way to flatten the curve of ever-rising healthcare costs due to chronic illnesses. In this episode you'll learn more about how chronic illness heavily contributes to rising healthcare costs and how HealCommunity's mission aims to change that in spite of functional medicine's potential pitfalls. James speaks about the increased patient outcomes in group functional medicine and how to get insurance companies on board. Find more information on HealCommunityhttp://www.healcommunity.com/ ( here). For more on functional medicine, follow James onhttp://instagram.com/mrjamesmaskell ( Instagram),https://twitter.com/mrjamesmaskell ( Twitter), and http://facebook.com/JamesEdwardMaskell (Facebook).

James Maskell is leading the evolution of functional medicine. His mission is to empower and build a community of 100,000 integrative practitioners to become leaders and change agents in the movement to accelerate the evolution of medicine, by providing them with the tools, technology, and resources to thrive in a micro-practice. He believes we can disrupt the current healthcare model, shifting the paradigm away from the over-dependency on an allopathic, disease-centred model, to create a more sustainable, preventative system. James believes community, not medicine, creates health. I love that medicine is an ever-changing landscape and this was a fascinating chat with a man on a medical mission.

In Episode #112, Dr. Jill interviews James Maskell about reversing chronic illness through community healing. Watch as they discuss the role of the community in health, and how to create a supportive environment for healing.

“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.

We revisit our podcast with James Maskell and our ambassador Michelle Woolhouse on the power of collaborative, group or community medicine and the role connection plays in healing. James shares with us the benefits group programs offer to both the patient and practitioner and how the connecting of individuals experiencing chronic health conditions can allow them to feel heard, engage further and experience sustained benefits from treatment. With loneliness playing a huge role in the incidence of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality, James shows us how connection brings people together on their journey for health. Following on from our series on Endometriosis, this podcast reminds us of the different ways we as practitioners can support our patients with chronic conditions, particularly those that can increase social isolation.

Are the people around you supportive of your health goals? If you were to embark on a new routine, would your friends be a help or hindrance? For today's episode, I was delighted to welcome my good friend James Maskell for a conversation around friendship, community and the concept of ‘group medicine'.James is a health entrepreneur, author and community builder. He studied health economics and it's now his mission to curb rising healthcare costs across the globe with a model that puts people first. His latest book, The Community Cure, looks at how helping groups of people with common health concerns come together can solve the very problems they share – an idea similar to Alcoholics Anonymous. He runs virtual health coaching groups in the US, which have been successful for everything from autoimmune disease to depression, chronic pain to digestive disorders. And he believes there are few conditions that couldn't be helped by a collective mentality. We discuss a 2006 NHS version of this concept, which famously saw patients work together to reverse their type 2 diabetes through diet. It saved one practice £70,000 a year in drug costs, which would have equated to £270 million if rolled out across the UK.But it's not just health-focused communities that can feel the benefit of coming together in groups and James and I discuss the profound benefits of men's groups. When people share their experience, solutions and support each other to live well, amazing things can happen. I hope this conversation encourages you to reach out, find your tribe, and see what you can do for each other.

Sachin Patel and Dr. Buddy Touchinsky discuss a range of topics relating to functional medicine, self-care practices, being supported and mentored, mentoring and coaching others, and personal growth. Dr. Touchinsky is creating a direct primary care functional medicine practice that is independent of insurance, and while it is breaking new ground, it is very tough going. He is making a difference in his small-town Pennsylvania community. Listen in for counsel on showing up even in the hard times. You never know who will stand up to support you if you ask for help.   Key Takeaways: [1:03] Sachin welcomes listeners to today's episode! This is a special interview with Sachin's friend, Dr. Buddy Touchinsky. Sachin and Dr. Buddy went to chiropractic school together. They are also both functional medicine practitioners and entrepreneurs trying to innovate in the healthcare space! Today, they talk about mentorship!   [3:00] When Dr. Buddy Touchinsky came out of chiropractic college, he didn't know what he didn't know. Coaching at the time consisted of expensive practice management companies with rigid programs.   [4:14] At first, Sachin wanted to do things his way. Asking for help was seen as a sign of weakness. Sachin recalls how his mother would just assume he knew how to do everything. Now, he believes it's always great to get help from people who are just a few steps ahead of us.   [5:54] Sachin hired Dr. David Singer, went to one of his trainings, and was hooked on the idea of being held accountable. If it wasn't for training on how to charge for a package of care, Dr. Patel might still be charging visit-by-visit. That tool changed his belief in himself.   [6:59] Dr. Touchinsky tells of his first experiences charging for a package of care. He discounted his services to get more patients. He had some success and noticed that the patients were there to get better. They had buy-in.   [8:25] It was a big milestone for Sachin to be able to attract the right person, who is investing in themselves, and trusting and investing in you to get them where they want to go with their health.   [9:02] Dr. Touchinsky came out of chiropractic college ready to work on sports injuries, back injuries, and spinal manipulation. He noticed that patients with back pain usually had more health issues. Before he heard of functional medicine, he started to dabble in it. He picked up Integrative Orthopedics: Integrative, Nutritional, Botanical and Manipulative Therapeutics, by Dr. Alex Vasquez and studied the science in it.   [10:25] About five years into his practice, Dr. Touchinsky saw he was overweight and felt out of shape so he did a metabolic reset. In 21 days he lost 21 pounds, was sleeping better, thinking more clearly, getting his files done on time, and feeling better.   [11:21] Dr. Touchinsky decided to test out the reset on a small group of patients. He picked a cohort of five people that he put on a program. They all got great results, too. He wanted to get this program to more people, so he dove into functional medicine, and signed up for FMU. About halfway through, he still wanted to know how to spread his influence to the masses.   [11:59] Then Dr. Touchinsky saw an old classmate, Dr. Patel!. Sachin was talking about all the things Dr. Touchinsky wanted to hear about and that people needed to hear. Dr. Touchinsky got together with Dr. Patel to learn more and became an active member and now, a coach, in Dr. Patel's community.   [13:21] Others have helped Dr. Touchinsky along the way, including local Rotary and other group meetings. He finds that everybody he meets has got something going on. You see all the smiles on social media, but meeting people, you see into their real lives. Nobody's perfect and we all work through our stuff.   [17:13] Sachin says joining groups is always a great reminder that everyone's human. We all go through stuff, and we can help each other, either to prepare for going through it or because we've been through it. Never struggle alone. Join a group like Perfect Practice or another group of like-minded people.   [18:26] Sachin thinks of a mentorship or a coaching program as a time machine. Join a group of six 29-year-olds and you've got 180 years of life experience and thousands of experiences these people have been through. You're tapping into that. With all the wisdom others have poured into them, you have essentially an infinite reservoir of knowledge and wisdom.   [20:15] Dr. Touchinsky also has a health food store, and a metabolic reset group. Now he is shifting into direct primary care. COVID-19 shut down the functional medicine and chiropractic practice for a few weeks and then they opened up slowly.   [21:51] The shutdown gave them more time to think about alternative ways of helping people if you can't see them in person. Dr. Touchinsky tried James Maskell's The Community Cure, and a test group in 2020 went well. Groups are powerful. Dr. Touchinsky wants to get more people back in person.   [24:02] Dr. Touchinsky started a functional medicine family practice that is more proactive care, building healthy habits, than reactive and community-centred.   [27:32] Dr. Touchinsky hired a consultant to help him set up a direct primary care functional medicine practice but this is a new business model! Dr. Touchinsky is creating his own thing. Having a coach and mentors helped. Without them and his self-care, he may not have made it. Now he can move forward to better things and grow his practice.   [30:01] Sachin compares a mentor to a personal trainer. The trainer spots you while you lift, but you have to do the work and lift the weight, but the trainer gives you the 5% lift to make it. Carrying a bigger load is where the growth takes place. Mentors and the community give an emotional lift.   [31:39] If you don't show up, even when it's toughest and you don't want to show up, you don't get the support and you won't make it through. Sachin says vulnerability is a superpower! It's the stepping stone to the next level of your personal character development.   [33:59] Sachin cites Simon Sinek, “You will be shocked at who and how many people will come to your rescue if you simply ask for help.” People are waiting in the woodwork to jump in and be supportive of others. People don't aspire to be perfect, they aspire to be human and vulnerability is part of the human experience.   [36:57] Advice to any who are struggling and feel alone: Step back and look at the big picture. Remember the people you've helped. Be with your family. Keep showing up and plugging into your groups, and get help. Self-care. Keep investing in yourself. Keep going to the sauna and exercising. Get your sleep. Stay hydrated. Eat healthily.   [41:48] Sachin has taken a cold shower every day this year, and every day, he still dreads it but he feels good afterward. In the cold shower, Sachin practices slow, steady, box breathing, and rotating in the shower with each four-second breath in, hold, breath out, and hold.   [43:05] Dr. Touchinsky's professional goal is to prove that there's a model for healthcare that is fun, exciting, and relaxing for the providers, and that benefits the patients as well. He explains how patients access his direct primary care model that does not rely on or use insurance.   [45:22] Dr. Touchinsky's personal goal is to set these practices up in a way where he has plenty of time for his family and himself. He and his wife are going to Italy soon, and he'd like to travel more often and invest more money in experiences with his family rather than material things.   [46:39] Sachin thanks Dr. Touchinsky for his time today and being a member, council member, and coach at Perfect Practice. He invites Dr. Touchinsky to share his closing thoughts.   [47:23] Dr. Touchinsky shares his blue-collar background and says none of this would be possible without seeing what others are doing for him through groups and mentorship. [49:26] Sachin signs off with a definition of LUCK: leveraging and understanding critical knowledge. If you can leverage and understand critical knowledge, you're LUCKy!   Mentioned in this episode Perfect Practice Live Integrative Orthopedics: Integrative, Nutritional, Botanical and Manipulative Therapeutics, by Dr. Alex Vasquez Functional Medicine University Rotary International Lions Club International The Community Cure: Transforming Health Outcomes Together, by James Maskell BluBlocker Oura Ring Genius Network Simon Sinek Mindshare What the Heck Is EOS?: A Complete Guide for Employees in Companies Running on EOS, by Gino Wickman and Tom Bouwer   More about today's guest Dr. Buddy Touchinsky Buddy Touchinsky, DC, CFMP has been serving the community of Orwigsburg professionally and personally through local leadership roles for 15 years. He is married to Susie, and they have a daughter, Megan.   Dr. Touchinsky is a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner with a focus on creative solutions and innovative methods to help people solve their problems and maximize their health. It was in his chiropractic practice that missing links within the full health of an individual became apparent. Many of the patients he treated were dealing with issues caused by poor diet, lack of exercise, inadequate sleep, and other lifestyle-related factors that the traditional healthcare system was not addressing. This led Dr. Touchinsky to study and become certified in functional medicine and to develop a team of like-minded practitioners.   On Facebook: Dr. Touchinsky On Instagram: @drtouchinsky On LinkedIn: Dr. Touchinsky   More about your host Sachin Patel How to speak with Sachin Go one step further and Become The Living Proof Perfect Practice Live sachin@becomeproof.com To set up a practice clarity call and opportunity audit   Books by Sachin Patel: Perfect Practice: How to Build a Successful Functional Medical Business, Attract Your Ideal Patients, Serve Your Community and Get Paid What You're Worth The Motivation Molecule: The Biological Secrets To Eliminate Procrastination, Skyrocket Productivity, and Get Sh!t Done

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.
