Fatigue might be common, but that doesn’t mean it’s normal. CDC data shows that women experience fatigue most days, at higher rates than men, across every age group. And the reason is rarely just stress or lack of sleep. For many women, crashing fatigue is often hormonal — driven by things like perimenopause transitions, luteal phase drops, or thyroid dysfunction. Measurable, testable, and *treatable* patterns that Parsley clinicians investigate every day. First step is knowing what to look for. Then actually testing and acting on it. If you’ve felt chronic fatigue for too long, consider working with a Parsley functional medicine clinician so you can start feeling like yourself again.

What many know of adaptogens is only the tip of the iceberg. These herbs have centuries of traditional use and a growing body of clinical research to support their health benefits — from sleep to stress resilience, performance, and energy levels. Adaptogens are another potential tool in your kit. They support (not substitute) root-cause care of chronic fatigue. All of which is best discussed with a trusted clinician, like our board-certified providers at Parsley.

Functional Medicine Is Becoming a Core Part of the Preventive Healthcare Ecosystem. Healthcare is undergoing a fundamental shift—from reactive treatment to proactive, personalized care. Parsley Health achievement of nationwide network status marks an important milestone in this transition. By expanding access to its functional medicine programs, the organization can now make its preventive, root-cause-focused care model available to up to 150 million people across the United States. At Longevity PR , we see this as a strong indicator of where modern healthcare is heading. Consumers are increasingly seeking long-term health partnerships that extend beyond symptom management. Functional medicine, supported by personalized care plans, lifestyle interventions, advanced diagnostics, and continuous health coaching, is becoming an integral part of the broader longevity movement. As healthcare systems prioritize prevention, the integration of these care models into national networks has the potential to significantly improve accessibility while accelerating the adoption of personalized wellness solutions. ᴋᴇʏ ɪɴꜱɪɢʜᴛꜱ : • Preventive healthcare continues to gain momentum across mainstream medical networks. • Functional medicine is becoming increasingly accessible through broader payer and provider partnerships. • Consumers are demanding personalized, root-cause approaches to long-term health optimization. • Network expansion is accelerating the adoption of longevity-focused healthcare models at scale. ʟᴏɴɢᴇᴠɪᴛʏ ᴘʀ ᴘᴇʀꜱᴘᴇᴄᴛɪᴠᴇ: The future of healthcare will be defined by prevention rather than intervention. Organizations that successfully combine personalized medicine, continuous care, and data-driven wellness strategies are well positioned to shape the next generation of healthcare delivery and improve long-term health outcomes.

Electrolyte drinks and powders have their place — prolonged illness, heavy training, extreme heat. But having a more precise understanding of your electrolyte levels can help you target your symptoms to start feeling better at the root. If you’ve been experiencing any of the common symptoms of electrolyte imbalances... Consider a lab panel, rather than another hydration packet. Parsley's advanced lab testing and clinical interpretation includes a comprehensive metabolic panel to help paint a full diagnostic picture of your health. Then, chat 1:1 with a clinician who can tell you what your levels actually mean — and what to do about it.

This #July ✨️ we Highlight 10 Metabolic Health Founders Innovating in #Womens #Health and Beyond 🔥 🌍 When the team and I at Emmeline Ventures first started talking about #metabolic health, I remember thinking, how do we better draw the connection between #metabolic #health and #women's #health? Like many people, I understood it to primarily be associated with obesity or diabetes. It gets less discussion in women's health, so we were excited to dig in. As we dug deeper, things really started to click. #Metabolic health sits at the center of so many conditions that disproportionately affect women from #PMOS and #infertility to pregnancy complications, #hormonal imbalances, #cardiovascular disease, #menopause, and even #mental health. These are deeply interconnected issues, and #metabolic health is one of the threads that ties them together. This curiousity led us down a fascinating rabbit hole, where we discovered an incredible group of founders building solutions across #obesity care, #gut health, #nutrition, #diagnostics, #chronic #disease management, hormone health, and personalized medicine. They aren't just treating individual conditions,they're helping redefine how we think about prevention, long-term wellness, and the future of #healthcare. So we're excited to spotlight ten founders who are building the future of metabolic health. Here are 10 builders we are paying close attention to in metabolic health: • Joanna Wiecek, CEO & Co-Founder — GutSee Health Working at the intersection of gut health and metabolic dysfunction through data-driven insights. • Robin Berzin MD, Founder & CEO — Parsley Health Reimagining primary care through a systems approach to chronic disease and metabolic health. •Melissa Williams, Founder & Chief Orchestra— HorminaCare Building accessible, digitally enabled pathways for metabolic and women’s health. • Piyali Chakraborty, PhD, Co-Founder — Ashmi Health Focused on personalized approaches to metabolic and hormonal health. •Angela Fitch MD, FACP, MFOMA, Dipl. ABOM Co-Founder — knownwell Scaling clinical, evidence-based obesity and metabolic care. • Allie Egan, Founder & CEO — Veracity Bringing hormonal and metabolic insights into everyday consumer health through at-home testing. •Rachel Blank, Founder & CEO — Allara Building integrated care models for PCOS and metabolic conditions. • Ashley Zehnder- Co-Founder - Fauna Bio • Jenny Westlund —Founder and CEO Emmi Health. • Isabel Caruana, CEO — Ailin.health Building accessible, digitally enabled pathways for metabolic and women’s health What stands out across these builders is not just what they are building individually but the direction they are collectively pointing toward. What founders in Metabolic Health should we know about? Who would you highlight?

Many widely available sunscreens can contain hormone disrupting ingredients, like oxybenzone and retinyl palmitate. Mineral actives offer a safe alternative — they sit on the surface of skin to reflect UV rays, rather than absorbing into it. But if you’re worried about looking like a ghost on the beach this summer? Know that plenty of modern formulas are easy to apply without a heavy white cast. #sunscreen #skinhealth #longevity #functionalmedicine

Brain fog, poor focus, and feeling like you’ve lost your edge are symptoms that Parsley providers hear all the time — and ones that usually have a root cause. Most people blame stress or aging. But iron deficiency, low creatine stores, elevated cortisol, suboptimal B12, and a low omega-3 index are all clinically measurable drivers of cognitive decline. Yet most of them never show up on a standard blood panel. So before you accept how foggy your brain feels as your new normal, it's worth looking into what's actually going on. Get comprehensive lab testing and review your results with a real doctor, through Parsley. Visit ParsleyHealth.com/labs to get started. #labs #functionalmedicine #longevity #biomarkers #midlife

You get comprehensive bloodwork done... But then what comes next? Data without clear direction misses the point.

Brain fog, fatigue, hair shedding... they can all be driven by low iron. But to know what’s really going on, you need to test more than just your iron levels. Ferritin is an acute phase reactant — meaning it rises with inflammation, independent of your actual iron status. A ferritin of 60 ng/mL in a patient with elevated inflammatory markers means something very different than a ferritin of 60 ng/mL in a patient without. When interpreted in isolation, that number can mask a real deficiency. This is where the "right" ferritin target gets contested. Conventional labs flag deficiency below 12–15 ng/mL. Functional medicine often targets 50–70 ng/mL for symptom resolution. Recent research on non-anemic iron deficiency suggests the diagnostic threshold itself should move to 30–50 ng/mL to better catch women who are iron deficient without being anemic. And here’s the thing: none of these numbers are wrong — they're just answering different clinical questions. The conventional range answers: when is someone at risk of iron deficiency anemia? The functional range answers: when is ferritin low enough to plausibly explain fatigue, hair shedding, or poor recovery in a patient whose bloodwork otherwise looks unremarkable? A complete iron picture means looking at ferritin alongside serum iron, TIBC, transferrin saturation, and inflammatory markers like hs-CRP. This is the actual work of practicing evidence-based functional medicine at scale: not choosing the most aggressive number and applying it universally, but building protocols around the full clinical picture, and revising them as the research evolves.
