In this episode of The Evolution of Medicine Podcast, I sit down with @robinberzinmd (Parsley Health) to explore a major milestone in functional medicine: becoming the first nationwide in-network functional medicine and longevity clinic, now covering ~150 million commercially insured lives.
We unpack how a decade of building scalable infrastructure made this possible—from standardized protocols and clinician training to outcomes tracking and demonstrated cost savings in chronic disease populations.
In this episode, learn:
• How Parsley Health became the first in-network functional medicine clinic at national scale
• Why outcomes data and cost savings were critical for payer adoption
• What conditions functional medicine is most impacting (autoimmune, gut health, women’s health, metabolic disease)
• How insurance partnerships are reshaping access to root-cause medicine
This conversation reveals what it actually takes to move functional medicine from the margins into mainstream healthcare—and what comes next as AI, wearables, and consumer demand accelerate the shift.
