My Bevan Commission Presentation

My Bevan Commission Presentation

Author: Functional Forum March 30, 2026 Duration: 31:51

In this solo episode, I'm diving into a concept that's been coming up again and again—in my work, in the data, and in conversations with practitioners around the world: network insufficiency.

Put simply, when connections break down—whether in the body, in our communities, or in our healthcare systems—things stop working.

I share highlights from my recent talk at the Bevan Commission, where I explored why chronic disease is rising, why healthcare systems are under pressure, and what we can actually do about it. This is also the foundation of my upcoming book, The Great Reconnection.
