Britt Driggers, PA-C, MMS
Functional medicine practitioner + Holistic Nutritionist
Britt founded The Root Collective (The Root Co.) with a specific vision: to go beyond symptom management and offer a "deep dive" into health optimization. While she successfully pioneered intravenous nutritional therapy with her company Replenish in Atlanta, she realized her patients often needed more. They needed a collective approach that was complementary to iV therapy but focused more on enhancing overall health and wellness on a more detailed and comprehensive level.
Originally from Indiana, Britt is rooted in a strong medical foundation. She earned her undergraduate degrees in Biology, Spanish, and Psychology from Indiana University before becoming a Physician Assistant and earning her masters in medical science from Wake Forest Medical Center in 2006. For nearly 15 years, she served as a Lead Physician Assistant in the bustling Emergency Department of a Level I Trauma Center in Atlanta. This intensive background honed her clinical precision, but it also sparked a desire to prevent illness before it starts.
In pursuit of this, Britt expanded her expertise, becoming a Functional Medicine Practitioner and, in 2023, a Holistic Nutritionist. This evolution allows her to bridge the gap between emergency medicine and integrative health. At The Root Co., she combines data-driven science with holistic care to uncover the root causes of health issues.
Britt believes deeply in the methods she shares with her patients because she lives them herself. By integrating functional medicine, lifestyle balance, and targeted therapies into her own daily routine, she maintains the energy and vitality she wishes for every patient.
When she isn't reviewing labs or connecting with her patients, Britt loves enjoying life with her husband, Will, her two little boys (Leo and Matthew), and good friends. She also loves painting, yoga, reading, hiking, and traveling the world.
