9. Functional Medicine for Everyone: A Conversation with Amy R. Mack, CEO of Institute for Functional Medicine.

In this episode of Vitality Vision by Volo, host Greg Bennett is joined by Voloridge Health’s CEO & CSO David Vogel and President Barry Miller for a conversation with Amy R. Mack, CEO of The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) — the leading voice for functional medicine for more than 30 years.  

Amy’s leadership journey spans public service, nonprofit impact, and now functional medicine — where she’s on a mission to make personalized, root-cause care available to everyone, not just the elite few. 

Together, we dive into: 

• What functional medicine actually is — and how it differs from conventional care 
• Amy’s personal journey and why she believes this movement matters now more than ever 
• The work IFM is doing to train clinicians, influence policy, and expand access 
• Why functional medicine is for everyone — not just biohackers or the wealthy 
• What’s broken in our $4.5T healthcare system — and how to start fixing it 
• Where the future of medicine is headed: AI, data science, systems biology & beyond 
• A rapid-fire Underrated/Overrated segment on health trends like cold plunges, CGMs, and personalized supplements. 

We also reflect on what gives us hope, how to align incentives with prevention, and why 2026 should be the year we all double down on taking ownership of our health.
