Speaker

Mike Ash is the Co-Founder and Chief Medical Strategy Officer of FunctionalMind™, an AI-powered clinical platform purpose-built for practitioners in functional, integrative, and longevity medicine.

With a career spanning over 40 years, Mike brings deep experience in clinical practice, postgraduate education, and healthcare innovation. He trained in Osteopathy, Naturopathy, and Nutritional Therapy in London, following earlier undergraduate studies in business, politics, law, and economics. Since 2004, he has pursued advanced training in immunology, with a focus on mucosal immunity and systems biology.

Mike founded and led one of the UK’s largest integrative medicine clinics, personally managing over 10,000 patients. Functional medicine was embedded in the clinic’s workflow from the early 1990s, shaping his approach to complex chronic care well before it gained wider adoption in Europe.

As the Founder of Clinical Education, a not-for-profit organisation, Mike continues to support healthcare professionals by translating emerging science into clinically applicable insights. He also serves as faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) in the United States, contributing to its global education initiatives.
