I vividly remember the day when Laurie Hoffman, former CEO of IFM, announced on stage the intentions of IFM to help launch CCCFM, welcoming anyone interested in supporting the cause to contact her. Before she even left the stage, I sent her a message to express our desire to contribute. Months later, we gifted CCCFM $1 million in an industry-first philanthropic gesture to demonstrate our commitment to IFM, CCCFM, and all functional medicine.
