Get to the Root is the podcast redefining what health benefits should be. Hosted by Dr. Erica Armstrong, founder and CEO of Root. Here, we explore the category we created: root cause health benefits—a smarter approach to care that uses advanced lab screening and functional medicine to reverse chronic conditions and optimize health. The result? Healthier people and lower healthcare costs for employers. In each episode, we sit down with forward-thinking employers, innovative brokers, and healthcare leaders who are driving real, measurable change. If you're ready to move beyond sick care and get to the root of what’s driving costs—and outcomes—this podcast is for you.
