I believe every person has a right to basic knowledge of how to optimize their mind, body, and spirit.

Here, I bring to you influential individuals and ideas

to help you live a more healthy, fulfilling life.

I'm Julie Fusheilhay, and I'd like to welcome you to pursuing health.

Welcome back to Pursuing Health. This is episode 26 and I'll sit down with

Functional Forum host James Maskell. A little bit about James before we get started. He's the founder and CEO of

Revive Primary Care which unites functional and integrative medicine practitioners

on a digital education platform. He's also the host of the Functional Forum, which is the

world's largest integrative medicine conference. It meets live in New York as

well as in meet-up groups around the world every month and he hosts the evolution of

medicine podcast of which I'm a huge fan and frequent listener. So I was really

excited to speak with James because he is truly leading the charge and

bringing functional integrative medicine to the forefront of chronic

disease prevention and treatment. I'm a huge fan of the forum and his podcast

as I said and I couldn't wait to ask him

about how he got started with this work, his goal of supporting a hundred thousand

micro practices around the world, his thoughts on the synergy of Cross Fit Affiliates, and these

functional and integrative micro practices, as well as some of his experience with the impact

of community on health.

So before we get started, a few quick reminders.
