Traditional healthcare often treats symptoms rather than the root causes of illness, but what if there was a better way to support employee health and well-being?
In this episode of the Get to the Root podcast, Max Rispler, Vice President at Hylant, talks about the gaps in employer-sponsored healthcare and the role of functional medicine in workplace wellness. Max shares his personal health journey, including an AFib diagnosis in 2023, which led him to overhaul his lifestyle, eliminate processed foods and alcohol, and successfully stop taking multiple medications. He emphasizes that traditional healthcare focuses on symptoms rather than root causes, while functional medicine offers personalized solutions through nutrition, stress management, and lifestyle changes. Dr. Armstrong explains how Root Medicine helps employees achieve lasting health improvements by addressing inflammation, providing personalized guidance, and ensuring ongoing support. Looking ahead, Max predicts that AI and data analytics will enhance early intervention in employee healthcare, driving the broader integration of functional medicine into insurance models for more effective and sustainable solutions.
