Evolution of Medicine is excited to present the November Functional Forum, a recap of the recent Integrated Medicine for Mental Health (IMMH) conference held in Washington, DC. IMMH, which was a leading mental health event in the 2010s, has been revitalized, thanks to Kirkland Newman, the London Functional Forum host.
In this episode, we will explore insights from top voices in integrated mental health, highlighting how mental health care is evolving to embrace lifestyle-first and root-cause approaches. We will feature:
Christopher M. Palmer, MD, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and author of Brain Energy, who will share his expertise on metabolic psychiatry and his broad perspective on reversing cognitive and psychological disorders. We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Palmer to the forum for the first time.
Scott Shannon, MD, who presented an impactful talk on the role of psychedelics in mental health. As a thought leader in psychedelic medicine, Dr. Shannon provided a forward-looking view on how these therapies are shaping the future of mental health care.
Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH, who teaches clinicans about the biology of trauma, will be teaching us about the implications of trauma on health.
Aseem Malhotra, MBChB, MRCP, a cardiologist who will speak to the connections between the heart and mental health as well as the impact of COVID and lockdowns on mental health.
Lastly, we’ll share highlights from the VagusFest that had 140 attendees! This will be a great Forum, so please join us to hear from these experts and others as we delve into the latest developments in integrative mental health. This is a valuable opportunity to learn from those leading the charge in a truly transformative approach to mental healthcare.
