Parsley Health

Parsley Health is a telehealth practice built around functional medicine, an approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic symptoms rather than only managing them with medication. Members get a care team that includes a licensed clinician and a health coach, longer appointments than a typical primary care visit, advanced lab testing that goes beyond standard panels, and a personalized plan covering nutrition, sleep, stress, movement, and supplementation alongside conventional treatment when appropriate. Care is delivered virtually across the United States through video visits and unlimited messaging, with in-person clinics in a couple of major cities. Parsley focuses on conditions like autoimmune issues, digestive problems, hormonal and thyroid conditions, fatigue, and metabolic health, and it says a large share of its members are managing a chronic condition. The company has moved to accept insurance nationwide, expanding access beyond the cash-pay membership model it started with. Parsley Health is sold as a paid membership, billed monthly or annually, that covers the clinical visits, coaching, messaging, and care planning, with lab work and any prescriptions handled through insurance or paid separately depending on coverage. Members also get access to a mobile app with their care plan, lab results, and messaging, plus educational content and group sessions on topics like nutrition and stress.
