Dr. Robin Berzin went to medical school at Columbia University with the goal of getting a solid, conventional medicine education that she could use to help patients in a non-conventional way. The combo of studying public health in college and seeing her dad’s experience as a primary care doctor showed her that medicine alone wasn’t the solution— that things like yoga, nutrition, meditation, and lifestyle changes needed to be the first line of defense in preventing disease. After graduation, she trained at The Institute for Functional Medicine.
In 2015, she founded Parsley Health, a boutique membership-based healthcare provider focused on functional medicine. Listen to hear about:
- Why it's important to use a health coach
- An incredible autoimmune patient story: A rare condition called Behcet’s autoimmune vasculitis left her with numerous ulcers, inflammation, insomnia, weight gain, and acne. Powerful steroids hadn’t helped, but Parsley helped her become medication and symptom-free in six weeks!
- How to get doctors to really learn about nutrition in a useful way
- Robin's advice on how to advocate for getting the healthcare you want and need to avoid disease and save money in the long run.
