- The 2026 Linus and Ava Helen Pauling Award in Functional Medicine was awarded to Joel Evans, MD, FMCP-M at The Institute for Functional Medicine’s 33rd Annual International Conference, recognizing his decades of leadership in functional medicine and women’s health.
- Joel Evans, MD, FMCP-M cautions that the explosion of hormone-health content on social media often oversimplifies care — treating all midlife fatigue as estrogen deficiency — when a thorough, personalized workup (including advanced markers like FSH) is what actually delivers “top shelf” care.
- Joel Evans, MD, FMCP-M identifies metabolic flexibility, mitochondrial health, and the wise use of GLP-1s as the three hottest areas in women’s health today, and is launching Vyas 360, an integrative longevity platform combining medically tailored meals, supplements, lab testing, and wearables.
