About Erica Armstrong

I am the Founder & CEO of Root, the first tech-enabled company to bring validated, sustainable functional medicine to scale.We built Root with the mission of solving what conventional healthcare leaves unsolved: chronic disease, fragmented care, and the absence of true prevention. Root combines advanced lab testing, board-certified physicians and dietitians, and our proprietary software platform, RootOS—the world’s first functional medicine operating system—to deliver measurable outcomes for individuals and employer populations.Today, Root partners with self-funded employers across the U.S, helping them reduce costs, improve employee health, and create benefits that people truly love. As a physician, author, and entrepreneur, my focus is on creating the future of healthcare: one where care is proactive, personalized, and powered by both human connection and technology.If you’re building toward the same vision—or want to explore how Root can transform your organization’s health benefits—I’d love to connect.
