One of my favorite conversations from the IFM Annual Conference was with Amy R. Mack, MSES, MPA, CEO of the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM).
We talked about where functional medicine is headed—and why this moment feels different.
From expanding practitioner education and certification to growing research, integrating into major healthcare institutions, and leveraging AI to improve public understanding, the momentum is unmistakable.
The goal isn't simply to make functional medicine bigger.
It's to make personalized, root-cause healthcare available to everyone who needs it.
I think you'll enjoy this conversation if you're interested in the future of medicine, chronic disease, and building a healthcare system that helps people truly heal.
