Real Member Stories

I have been searching for many years for the root cause of many of my health problems, only to come up short, until now. I have seen many doctors & specialists over the years who have sent me for all sorts of tests and had me on many different medications, but FINALLY found the true root cause of my issues - SLE Lupus due to the extensive testing that Function health provided. While I know I am far from being "well", I know know what is in front of me and how to hopefully stop this disease from killing me. I wish my ex-doctors would have sent me for all these tests many years ago, rather than trying to push all their medications on me, treating my symptoms rather than looking for the root cause.

Based on my cardiovascular history, I found very useful to know how my body is improving on the ApoB and LDL biomarkers, as well as my biological age: from -13 years to -15 years, based on the Action Plan you recommended.

We use the phrase "game changer" too often, but Function really did provide life-changing insights for me. By doing the labs and sharing the results with my primary care provider, I followed up with a specialist and learned that I have hereditary hemochromatosis and Gilbert's Syndrome. This knowledge made me realize that I need to give blood several times a year to reduce iron and iron saturation levels in my body. Gone undetected, these conditions could have continued to put an unnecessary strain on my liver and other key organs. Only time will tell the real value of these adjustments to my health regimen, but I'm convinced it's added several quality years to my sojourn on the planet. Thank you, Function!

I've lived with this body for 57 years and what's beneath the surface has been a complete mystery to me, with the exception of standard tests ordered by doctors at various life milestones. My mother had Alzheimer's and my father had Parkinson's and while I was afraid getting tested would reveal something devastating, the "not knowing" was starting to get to me. While my results show there are some things I need to address (Function covers them in detail), I'm very optimistic that my next round of tests in six months will show improvement, and continue to for years to come.

Finding and using Function Health may have been life saving. I had no idea, but I may be dealing with a serious cardiovascular concern that's related to my family history. I thought I was healthy and fit and didn't have to worry. I'm really glad I did this and now have the opportunity to make changes before it's too late. Thank you!

With my test results, I was able to identify several markers in need of improvement. With addition of many of the supplements listed, I was able to reduce my mercury from 25 to 16 in less than 2 months. I was able to order the mercury test individually for a very reasonable price, which allowed me to monitor the efforts I have been putting in to reduce that marker.

I learned through my participation with Function that I have CLL. I am now under the care of MD Anderson Cancer Center for my form of Leukemia.

Function is a blessing to my life. If I had Function earlier in my life, I would not have struggled with PCOS, IBS, and food sensitivities for as long as I did. I am SO excited to have this moving forward. I feel relieved, empowered, and inspired. Thank you Function team!

Over the past year, I have lost 100lbs, the lab work from function helped me determine if I was losing weight in a health manner. The first round showed me I had some cholesterol issues I needed to improve. It also had diet and supplement recommendations which I used. In the second round my markers had improved notably. In fact, my biological age improved by 4 years. Information is required to guide change. Function is the information source in an actionable format.
