In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron talks with Dr. Emily Cordes, Lead Physician at Root Functional Medicine. They discuss Dr. Emily Cordes’ transition from traditional internal medicine to a functional approach that addresses the root causes of chronic disease rather than just managing symptoms. Dr. Emily Cordes explains Root’s unique membership model, which pairs every patient with both a physician and a registered dietitian to provide comprehensive nutritional support and extended care time.

Key Takeaways:

  • Root Cause Focus: Dr. Emily Cordes shifted from the “pill for an ill” mentality to investigating upstream drivers of disease like inflammation and lifestyle.
  • The Team Model: Unlike standard practice, Root Functional Medicine pairs every member with both a physician and a registered dietitian to ensure nutrition is central to the treatment plan.
  • Corporate Wellness: Root is democratizing functional medicine by partnering directly with businesses to offer these services to employees, reducing health spend and improving outcomes.
