Functional Forum Meetup at KIMA
As part of our commitment to root cause medicine we have been hosting the Functional Forum official Manhattan meetup on the first Monday of each month. The Functional Forum has always been a live event on the first Monday of every month in NYC. It is now national! The official Manhattan, NYC meetup and screening of the live event has been held at KIMA since the beginning of the year with dozens of others running concurrently around the world. The Functional Forum is the world’s largest integrative medicine conference. This new concept in practitioner education, “medutainment”, brings together the latest health news, functional medicine research, practice development and health technology in an upbeat, entertaining way. They curate the industry’s leading innovators in a mixed-media format that combines interviews, TED-style talks, videos, audience interaction, and music. Scaling their influence through empowering community in every corner of the globe, encouraging and facilitating meetups around this monthly content.
"Our plan for delivering lasting change in medicine is to empower physicians and providers to deliver high value, community focused, root cause resolution medicine
in every zip code of this country."
~ James Maskell, CEO and Founder Evolution of Medicine
The monthly live interactive web show is for health professionals who are passionate about the Evolution of Medicine. By initiating a local group and featuring an NYC based special guest, we are striving to stimulate referrals to and from specialists and other practitioners, developing a community of like-minded providers in our area, playing a significant part in accelerating the Evolution of Medicine. The innovative approach to practitioner education brings together the top medical talent in the KIMA space, we get to discuss the latest health news, functional medicine research, practice development and health technology in an upbeat, entertaining way.
So far, we have covered a wide range of interesting topics including Functional Neuropsychiatry, Genetic Dark Matter - from the cutting edge of Genomics, the hottest topic in integrative and functional medicine: Gut Health + a recap of the Integrative Health Symposium. This month, for the first time ever, the Functional Forum leaves the North American continent for a groundbreaking show on Monday, June 6th, at the Royal Society of Medicine in London, the world’s oldest medical institution to look at the future of how Functional Medicine can scale to meet the needs of modern health systems outside of America.
Special thanks to all of our recent special guests; Kelly Brogan MD (Women's Health Psychiatrist and best selling author of A MIND OF YOUR OWN), Dr. Zina Kroner (Medical Director at Advanced Medicine of New York) and Dr Lewis Gross (Director of Holistic Dentists).
