October Functional Forum: Insights from the Independent National Convention

Evolution of Medicine is excited to bring you a special October episode of the Functional Forum, filmed at the 2024 Independent National Convention (INC). Established in 2020, the INC brings together not only independent political parties but also voices advocating for independence in various sectors of society.

Independence has always been central to the evolution of functional and integrative medicine. With our founder, James Maskell, curating the health track at this year’s convention, we took the opportunity to capture key moments and insights from the event.

We're thrilled to present a full 30-minute interview with Dr. Zach Bush. While Dr. Bush has been a frequent guest on the Forum and EvoMed podcast, focusing on the intersection of human and planetary health, this marks our first in-person interview with him—one of the highlights of this episode.

We also feature a powerful interview with Eldra Jackson, Executive Director of Inside Circle, an organization with an incredible success rate facilitating men's work in prisons.

Dr. Bush and Eldra Jackson both participated in panels at the convention—Achieving Health Independence and Healing in Community—and this episode will feature highlights from those discussions, along with insights from the convention’s founders and participants.

The independent political movement holds great promise for bringing new ideas, like those from our community, to the mainstream.
