Parsley Health’s platform promotes and caters for a more holistic approach to personal healthcare. This accounts for long standing issues such as lifestyle and genetics. It facilitates lab work to understand often-overlooked issues like gut microbiome makeup, food intolerances, and cortisol levels, before making personalized health plans with recommendations for habit adjustments, nutrition and health supplements.
This approach is disrupting the traditional healthcare industry, which generally pays providers only to treat existing illness, rather than preventing them long in advance. The fact that 60% of American adults have at least one chronic illness shows that there’s a market for Parsley’s offering. Indeed, chronic diseases make up a total of 90% of all US annual health costs, costing $3.1 trillion.
Since Dr. Robin Berzin founded the company in 2016, the company has raised significant funding, and has rolled out several new telehealth functions to broaden their product offering. Parsley Health's future success will largely depend on the company’s ability to expand further and include medication costs in their memberships, or better yet, be accepted by major health insurance providers.
