This episode of The Root Cause - Business of Medicine features pediatrician Dr. Chris Magryta, who shares how he integrated functional medicine into a traditional pediatrics practice serving many Medicaid patients. He shifted focus after observing rising chronic illnesses in children and applied “five pillars of health” principles (stress, nutrition, movement, sleep/sun, toxins) in affordable, practical ways. Despite longer, less profitable visits, his egalitarian group model and Medicaid-funded care management make the approach sustainable. The episode highlights how culture, leadership, and a child-centered ethos enable better outcomes in underserved populations.
