11. When Functional Medicine Meets Primary Care with The Lanby's Taylor Fazio & Ali Rakow

Is primary care facing a crisis? In the midst of a national shortage of primary care physicians, the role of physician assistants is increasingly pivotal within team-based care models. The Lanby is dedicated to a wellness-forward, hospitality-led primary care membership for patients who simply want more.

The Lanby’s wellness advisor Taylor Fazio and physician assistant Ali Rakow join founder Chloe Harrouche to discuss the advantages of such an approach. They delve into the significance of integrative medicine and how they enhance patient outcomes through meticulous lab analyses, lifestyle modifications, and collaborative efforts.

This episode provides a concrete example of their joint process, illustrating how patients gain from a more tailored and holistic healthcare experience. They also highlight how individuals, particularly those in high-pressure environments like New York City, often underestimate the impact of their hectic lifestyles on their health.
