Evolution of Medicine Podcast
This week on the Evolution of Medicine podcast, we dive into a topic that weaves together many of the threads we’ve been exploring over the last few weeks. We’ve talked about AI and its rapid rise. We’ve talked about cognitive decline and the extraordinary possibility of reversing it. And we’ve talked about what it will take to get there on an individual practice level. But this week’s episode brings those themes together in a way I didn’t expect. A friend recently sent me what looked like a legitimate video commercial, featuring credible, household-name figures like Dr. Sanjay...

This week on the Evolution of Medicine podcast, we dive into one of the most exciting developments in healthcare – the Primary Care Renaissance. Starting January 1st, new legislation makes it easier than ever for both patients and employers to participate in Direct Primary Care (DPC). This shift could finally deliver on many of the promises we’ve been talking about for years – cutting out the middleman, reducing costs, lowering friction, and restoring the sacred doctor-patient relationship. We explore what this means for the future of medicine, and share insights from a powerful article...

Last week, I shared the differences in entries between Wikipedia and Grokipedia and why that shift represents a turning point for functional medicine. This week on The Evolution of Medicine Podcast, we take a deeper dive into Grokipedia: what it is, how it’s changing the landscape for practitioners, and why it might finally put to rest the old “pseudoscience” critiques. We also lighten things up with my favorite pharmaceutical commercial of all time – a hilarious rip-off that prescribes nature instead of pills. And in the Clinical Corner, we explore a fascinating new tool I found...

This week on the Evolution of Medicine Podcast, we dive into primary prevention – and why it’s the future of health. Dr. Eric Topol recently published an article lamenting medicine’s lack of progress in the big three killers: cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegeneration. He’s right about the problem, but I’d argue he’s been going to the wrong conferences. If he had joined us at the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute (PLMI) conference, he would have seen what real prevention looks like: clinicians reversing chronic disease through root-cause, systems-based care. And...

The Evolution of Medicine podcast returns with a deep dive into the seismic shifts reshaping healthcare – from the explosion of direct-to-consumer lab testing to the most disingenuous pharmaceutical commercial ever made. Host James Maskell unpacks how companies like Function Health, Superpower, Whoop, and Aura are democratizing health data, while practitioners must evolve or risk becoming obsolete in an increasingly consumer-driven landscape.

The Evolution of Medicine podcast is back – weekly, longer-form, and laser-focused on giving practitioners the news, tools, and frameworks to reverse chronic disease at scale. In this premiere of “season two,” host James Maskell introduces the big idea shaping the next chapter: solving “network insufficiency” at three levels – inside the body, across communities, and through a nationwide network of high-functioning practices. Borrowing from Dr. Dale Bredesen’s framing of Alzheimer’s as a “network insufficiency,” James maps the concept onto the functional medicine matrix...
