After receiving my first test results, I was pleased with the results and found areas that I needed to improve. I was provided with suggestions of foods and supplements that could help improve my numbers. Once I took my follow up lab work I was thrilled to see improvements in my LDL numbers. I can't wait for my next blood test to compare how a few simple changes can make a huge difference.

The level of detail and care taken with not just the tests but the clinician's notes, the supplement and dietary recommendations.... it's made all the difference for me. In fact, since I got my first results in April, I made some pretty big changes in my diet and eating habits, my approach to exercise -- and thus far I've lost 17 lbs.

I am a busy physician, working 70-80 hours a week. It is virtually impossible to take a day off or make it to appointments during business hours on weekdays. Being able to track my labs values on my own helps me to feel more in control of my health.

I have felt unwell and didn't know where to turn but I needed some answers! Function Health is exactly what I needed! It has given me a look into what is going on in my body and empowered me to take the results to a doctor who would have probably not even ordered these tests and would have started being more invasive than necessary! This has made things so clear to me! I have a plan of action from Function Health’s suggestions and also have knowledge before walking into an appointment with a doctor. This may have saved me from a heart attack or stroke. I look forward to getting my numbers in the healthy range again and working on getting my metabolic age to keep going down!!! Now that’s just a fun challenge!! Worth every penny!

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!
