Description

What if the key to better health lies not only in treating the body, but in restoring the connections that help us thrive?

Recorded at the Yes To Life Conference 2026 – In Person, 26 September, this thought-provoking keynote introduces the concept of network sufficiency — the idea that our health is shaped by the connections between our biological systems, emotional wellbeing and relationships with others.

James Maskell, founder of Evolution of Medicine and the Functional Forum, explores how disruptions in these interconnected networks may contribute to chronic disease, from metabolic and immune challenges to conditions such as Alzheimer’s. Drawing on functional medicine, community-based care and innovative approaches to healthcare, he challenges us to look beyond individual symptoms and consider the wider systems that influence our wellbeing.

The session explores why human connection and community deserve a greater place in conversations about health, and how rebuilding connections within ourselves and with others may help us move towards a more holistic approach to care.

Whether you’re living with a chronic condition, supporting a loved one or interested in the future of integrative healthcare, this presentation offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between connection, community and human health.
