Root dietitians Amy Masterson, MS, RDN, LD and Kelsey Stricklen, MS,RDN went on-site today with one of our corporate partners, ITC Incorporated. We talked all things Root Plate & blood sugar balance, why it matters for everyone, and sampled chia pudding and overnight oats recipes together. The primary focus being on adding, not restricting. Our biggest goal? Making healthy eating doable. Thank you, Suzanne Proksa, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, HHP, for the warm welcome! #functionalmedicine #rootcause #employeebenefits

Root is the Functional Medicine Benefit for Employers. Most biomarker companies are data only, with no interaction with licensed health professionals who can help your people turn that data into real behavioral change that leads to decreased healthcare costs. Meet Root. An all-inclusive functional medicine solution with extensive biomarker screening PLUS an expert clinical team of doctors (MDs/DOs) and dietitians (RDNs) that meet your people where they are at. Nina Stanley, MBA and Erica Armstrong, MD, IFMCP will be at The Conference Board Chicago on September 23-25. Send a message to connect. #TheConferenceBoard #EmployeeBenefits
