Healing Collectively: An Exploration of a New Model of Healthcare

Healing Collectively: An Exploration of a New Model of Healthcare


James Maskell joins us today to discuss exciting new changes for the future of our healthcare system. James is the founder of the Functional Forum, the world’s largest integrative medicine conference, and also is the founder of KNEW Health, an affordable alternative to health insurance for health conscious Americans. In this episode we cover why our current healthcare system is broken and share new ideas on how we’re shifting into a very effective healthcare system. Here are some things we cover in this episode:

  • Why the current model of healthcare is broken
  • How healthcare cost sharing works
  • The tremendous power of community
  • The impact group healthcare visits can have
  • Using the therapeutic order for a healthier community: beginning with lifestyle (mindset, community, food, movement), then the least invasive and least costly treatment, then only more invasive or more costly treatments as needed
  • Money saving tips for health 
  • Real talk on taking time to care for your body
  • How our culture is already changing for the better
It’s an evolutionary imperative to be in community, to take care of each other, to support each other. -James Maskell

    I think it should be noted, very transparently, that the parent company behind KNEW (called Sedera) does not permit abortion (legal healthcare for women) to be included in community cost-sharing. They do, however, provide healthcare for men, the known cause of 100% of pregnancies.

    You make it sound as if men are criminals, Erica Delorenzo. Is that fair play? Is Sedera's view on abortion based on religious principles?
