Summary
In this episode, I’m joined by James Maskell. On a mission to flatten
the curve of healthcare costs, James 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 best selling 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 an in demand speaker and impresario, being featured on TEDMED, HuffPostLive and TEDx, as well as lecturing internationally.

During this episode, we delve into the critical issue of chronic illness and its escalating costs, drawing insights from James's extensive
experience and innovative projects. His approach to transforming
healthcare is not just revolutionary but also urgently needed as we face mounting challenges in managing chronic disease care.
Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable perspectives from a true
changemaker in healthcare.
