Root Functional Medicine - 3x3x3 Challenge With Erica Armstrong
Root is a virtual functional medicine clinic helping employers reverse and prevent disease, lower medication costs, and improve employee health through personalized, root-cause care.
Transcript:
What is Root Functional Medicine?
We partner with employers to reverse and prevent chronic disease at the root cause, helping people feel better, work better, and, ultimately, cost less. Root is a virtual functional medicine clinic that combines expert doctors and dieticians with advanced testing and personalized care to address the root cause of symptoms, not just manage them. We help people with autoimmune, metabolic, hormone concerns and more.
How is Root Functional Medicine different?
Our model brings together the best of science-backed holistic care, medical doctors, dieticians, in a proven root cause process that helps reduce or eliminate medications and optimize health long-term. Our care starts with advanced root cause lab testing to uncover what is really going on beneath the surface. Then, with white glove care navigation through our intake process and doctor's interpretation of lab results, we match every member with the right level of care, ranging from focused programs to ongoing wellness membership. Unlike traditional care models, we are proactive. We screen and guide employees who need more support before they become high-cost claimants, and we help people who currently have chronic disease reverse it. Everyone gets a whole-person approach to health, but only those who need higher levels of care are enrolled in the more intensive programs. This keeps costs down and engagement high by giving people exactly what they need when they need it. Root helps reverse chronic disease instead of just managing it. We offer alternatives to expensive medications like GLP-1s with personalized, sustainable approaches that work, and that employees actually want to engage with, and the impact is significant. We often take employees that are on a thousand to $8,000 a month medications, and, within the first year or sometimes even within the first month, we reduce or eliminate those medication costs through root cause sustainable care.
Who is a good fit for Root Functional Medicine?
Root is best suited for self-funded employers with 200 or more employees, especially those dealing with rising medication costs or with employee health concerns like diabetes, weight, mental health, gut issues, or hormone imbalances. If that sounds like your population, we'd love to show you what is possible when you stop just managing disease and start reversing it.
