Beyond the prescription pad
Providers who treat the
whole person, not just symptoms
Most healthcare is reactive — a pill for every problem, a specialist for every symptom. MarketCare highlights providers who dig deeper: functional medicine doctors, acupuncturists, DPC clinics that actually spend time with you, and nutritionists who treat root causes.

$250–$500
Acupuncture
Community sliding scale
$20–$40
Nutrition Therapy
Food as medicine

Health Coaching
Lifestyle & habit change

Mind-Body Medicine

Direct Primary Care
Unlimited visits, $75–99/mo
$75–$99/mo
Prolotherapy / PRP
Natural joint healing
$300–$2,000
They spend time with you
DPC doctors average 45-60 minute appointments. Your insurance doctor averages 7 minutes.
They look for causes
Functional medicine runs 50+ labs your GP doesn't — hormones, gut bacteria, toxins, nutrient deficiencies.
Medication is the last resort
Not the first. These providers try nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted therapies before reaching for a prescription.
