Function Health

It resonates because it’s real. This is a real story. Based on a real Function employee’s experience. It’s in our bones—the truth that we often need each other to be on top of our health. We feel it with our family, with our friends, with our loved ones. That we are one push away from a life-changing moment. That when we own our health, we own our future together. If prostate cancer is caught early enough, it is typically highly treatable. Like so many other diseases. What you reveal from lab testing, you can often treat to beat. So for Father’s Day and every other day, push him to take the next step. Gift him Function. It could be the push his health needs. https://bit.ly/4eccnU7

Fertility can hinge on the nutrients in your diet. For both men and women, testing and optimizing these 6 nutrients is vital for fertility: Zinc Omega-3 Fatty Acids Vitamin D Iron Magnesium Vitamin B12 (deficiency best measured through methylmalonic acid) These nutrients are often overlooked in fertility discussions. Hormone, genetic, and imaging tests are standard, but nutrient tests are frequently left out-despite their impact on reproductive health. We designed Function to give you the whole picture, which is why all of these tests are included in the all-in-one set of 100 tests through Function Health.

It's an honor to work alongside some of the brightest minds in healthcare, backed by some of the most strategic VCs who are committed to transforming how we heal and how we live 100 healthy years. Being part of the founding team has been nothing short of amazing.

75% of heart attack victims aren’t deemed high-risk based on cholesterol levels. Why? Because the standard cholesterol panel, created in the 1950's, misses critical biomarkers for gauging heart health—including ApoB, Lp(a), and lipid particle size. These modern biomarkers account for less than 1% of cholesterol tests in America. Every Function Health member tests ApoB, Lp(a), and lipid particle size with their all-in-one set of 100 lab tests. Heart disease is the # 1 cause of death, yet it’s mostly preventable. Don’t get stuck with standard cholesterol testing. Use Function Health or work with your doctor to get your heart truly checked.

It’s not about money. It’s about you. Detecting cancer early. Strengthening your heart. Balancing hormones. Waking up with energy. Sleeping with ease. Feeling your best. Being present with people you love. Our investor lineup—technologists, doctors, vc’s, actors, athletes—invested in you. This $53M investment ensures that Function is here for you and the eight billion others who deserve to own their health. Function’s mission is for you to live 100 healthy years.

This is not just another announcement. Over the past few months, you've heard me talk about Function Health. This isn’t merely about new investors; it's a signal from some of the world's top institutions that empowering you to take control of your health outside the doctor’s office is critical. We’ve secured a $53M investment led by top investor a16z Bio Health. Early cancer detection is critical. Getting ahead of heart disease is critical. Understanding your hormones is critical. This investment ensures we can scale this revolutionary approach to reach billions of people. We've already seen countless stories of how Function Health has saved and transformed lives. Thanks to @CNBC Squawk Box for having me on the show this morning.  A 44-year-old father of two discovered prostate cancer in stage one. A 51-year-old mother of four discovered ovarian cancer just in time before she was symptomatic. A 35-year-old fit man revealed a critical heart disease risk that typical physicals never caught. Over 60% of our members have a nutrient deficiency. Over 30% of our members are showing autoimmunity signals. This is about people's lives. And in each case, Function was there to help them take control. We've designed Function to be the easiest and fastest way to take charge of your health, starting with 100 lab tests that provide an extremely comprehensive picture of what's actually happening inside your body. My career, beyond being a practicing physician, has been dedicated to educating people like you about your health. This is the next level, beyond just writing books. I'm tirelessly working to ensure millions have access to the same high-level healthcare that has been available to wealthy people with concierge doctors—and then going far beyond that. This is just the beginning. We built Function for you. It's time you own your health.

Save this post. You’ll want it for reference. Access 100 lab tests through Function Health membership.

Let's talk about women and Alzheimer's: Nearly 4 million women are affected by this disease in the United States. Alarmingly, women in their 60s are almost 2x as likely to develop Alzheimer's as they are to develop breast cancer over the course of their lives. This is a health risk that cannot be ignored. Know the signs, manage the risk factors, and monitor the biomarkers that matter. Track your whole-body health with an all-in-one set of 100 lab tests accessed through Function Health membership.

You have a say in your Alzheimer’s risk. Don’t wait until symptoms appear. Know what impacts your risk, beyond genes: Smoking Excess alcohol Lack of exercise  Weight  Processed diet Poor sleep Inflammation Blood sugar Nutrient deficiencies
