He argues that the era of the \u201cartisan\u201d solo practitioner is ending\u2014and that survival in 2026 and beyond requires building scalable clinical infrastructure. Maskell explains how AI-powered platforms, venture-backed telehealth companies, and direct-to-consumer lab brands are redefining patient expectations around speed, convenience, and affordability. To compete, functional medicine clinics must evolve into \u201cfull stack\u201d models\u2014combining objective data, team-based care, defined outcomes, and recurring membership structures. This episode also launches a new initiative designed to help clinics operationalize that shift. &amp;nbsp; James Maskell is a healthcare entrepreneur and founder of The Evolution of Medicine. For over 20 years, he has worked to scale functional medicine through community-driven models, group visits, and practitioner infrastructure. His work focuses on moving medicine upstream\u2014toward prevention, lifestyle intervention, and systems-based care. &amp;nbsp; Website:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.jamesmaskell.com\/ Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mrjamesmaskell Facebook:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jamesedwardmaskell\/ LinkedIn:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jamesmaskell &amp;nbsp; Thank you for listening.
