Evolution of Medicine Podcast
From Doctor to Entrepreneur

Episode #8

Amongst the many problems facing medicine currently, one looms the largest. The two groups that really need medicine to work for them, are being failed by the system. Patients are not getting the care they need to meet the complex, chronic epidemics we now face and doctors have been relegated to cogs in a machine. Our vision is to change that. We envision a patient centered medical system where physicians are empowered to be a central part of their local health community, 'quarterbacking' the care of those people that find themselves to be out of balance. We have been looking for a long time for partners in this endeavor, and in Freedom Practice Coaching, we believe we have found those partners. Matt Lowman and Charlie Webb, the two principals of FPC, bring expertise in diverse areas and have brought it together to create a business that is inspiring, educating and coaching doctors towards controlling their own destinies and building robust local practices focused on patient empowerment. Matt will be speaking on our November 5th Functional Forum and we took some time to interview them about their innovative system. What you will learn

  • Their WHY. What is at the heart of Freedom Practice Coaching?
  • How to turn employees into an amazing practice team
  • Why aggressively educating your community is the best way to ensure unending new patients

ACAM - Intelligent Immunity

Episode #6

The America College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM) has been on the cutting edge of medical education for almost 40 years. Their 2012 conference we attended was excellent, with a focus on the new microbiome research, which in the last two years has become the most exciting areas of medicine. This is where you get ahead of the curve.

The 2014 Conference looks like a watershed moment in medical education, with a conference aptly named 'Intelligent Immunity: Opportunity for Regulation in the New Era'. The new science on mucosal immunity signals a turning point in our understanding of the immune system and where the leverage is in maintaining health. When you add in the multiple revelations of fraud at the CDC and vaccine manufacturers, the timing is crucial for a conference such as this. On this week's podcast we speak to ACAM conference coordinator Dr. Dana Cohen, who is also a regular guest at the Functional Forum in New York. In this podcast we discuss:

  • Why ACAM decided to focus on this topic
  • Why vaccination policy must be featured at medical events
  • The most exciting presentations of the event

For more information about ACAM and their upcoming Conference, held in Las Vegas, November 14-16th please click here.
