We Threw the Coolest Functional Medicine Party Ever

Hope you can join us for a future event!

Last week, we relaunched the Functional Forum in San Francisco.

But this wasn’t a hotel ballroom.
It wasn’t rows of chairs facing a stage.
And it definitely wasn’t another passive CME night.

This was different.

It was a sauna-and-fire-pit, art-infused, paella-for-100, wine-in-hand, small-group-deep-dive, future-of-medicine kind of night.

And honestly?

It might have been the coolest functional medicine party I’ve ever thrown.

The Theme: Chronic Inflammation Meets Real-World Medicine

We centered the evening around a deceptively simple question:

What’s really driving chronic inflammation?

But instead of panels and PowerPoints, we broke into intimate conversations led by some of the most forward-thinking clinicians in our space:

• Dr. Kat Toups on reversing cognitive decline and the recent RCT pre-print she was the lead investigator on (in “the birdcage, see photos below!)

• Dr. Molly Maloof on the mitochondria of belonging. (*TruNeura Member)

• Dr. David Rabin on psychedelics and mental health.

• Dr. Brad Jacobs on masculinity and health.

• Dr. Ryan Arnold on adding brain programs to a generalist clinic. (*TruNeura Mastermind Member)

This wasn’t theory.

It was implementation.

It was clinicians talking honestly about what’s working, what’s hard, and what the next evolution of practice looks like.

The Vibe: Medicine Meets Magic

The venue, Safehouse in San Francisco, set the tone.

Fire pits.
Paella (GF/DF) and veggies for 100+
Apothecary.
Art installations.
Indoor-outdoor flow.

Functional medicine works because it’s relational.
And when you design the environment for connection, the conversations go deeper.

The dinners turned into masterminds.
The masterminds turned into partnerships.
The partnerships will turn into new care models.

This is how movements actually grow.

TruNeura Showed Up, and It Mattered

One of the most exciting parts of the night?

Seeing the energy around TruNeura.

We had a booth set up, led by our new team member Jeff Frady, who has joined the team to drive our growth in 2026 and beyond.

In the room were:

• Dr. Ryan Arnold (Mastermind member)

• Dr. Jessica Knape (Mastermind member)

• Dr. Molly Maloof (Mastermind member)

• Jeff Frady (TruNeura’s new Principal Account Manager)

And what struck me most was this:

Clinicians aren’t just curious about cognitive decline reversal anymore.
They’re ready to implement it.

They want structure.
They want scalability.
They want a system that bridges insight and execution.

TruNeura is becoming that operating system.

And when you see real doctors, in real practices, talking about real patients it stops being abstract. It becomes inevitable.

This Is the New Functional Forum

The old Functional Forum was about inspiration.

The new Functional Forum is about activation.

Smaller rooms.
Deeper conversations.
Real partnerships.
Execution-focused medicine.

This is how we build the network that can actually reverse chronic disease at scale.

Next Stop: Colorado

We’re taking this energy on the road.
