After researching biomarker testing services two years ago, I decided to go with Function Health since the user experience looked good and there was just one price for all the basics (although you can add other tests on). When I went to schedule the first appointment for my third year, I answered the normal questions that made sense for blood testing, but noticed there was a whole new page of "Life Experience" questions that included very personal questions on mental health that are unrelated to the biomarkers I chose Function for initially. Some of the questions included a "prefer not to answer" option, but most did not. With where things are with AI, data mining, etc., I'm not comfortable providing that type of data for a service I'm not asking for. Their support team said they'd schedule the appointment for me since I couldn't complete it on my own. I still like the service and have gifted it a couple times, but think they should stay in their lane on the biomarkers, or give people a way of opting out of answering all unrelated mental health questions.

I'm very happy with the support I'm getting with Function. It is changing my life in big ways. I love having control over my health and it keeps me on my path to continued wellness. Being able to chat with a doctor when I have questions about my test results is the icing on the cake!

I have had a very positive experience with Function. From the customer service to what they actually deliver I would recommend. As a very proactive advocate of my own health, I was very curious how I would like this style of health care. I have a lot to say: First, they make it very easy to know what to do. It is even more convenient if you live close to a lab. It is very easy to change appointments and the app is very user friendly. Results come quick and app keeps you informed. Customer service is above and beyond. I had an issue with scheduling my appointments within the small window I needed due to that time landing over a weekend. I emailed thinking I was just giving them some feedback. On a saturday within a couple hours they had reached back out to me and accommodated changing my lab schedule as requested. I just emailed the random email listed on the website and had zero expectation that a real person would read and/or respond. It allowed me to have more flexibility with when I could schedule the time-sensitive labs that didn't also coincide with the labs that needed to be fasting. As for the service itself, I think that since I have a good understanding of my health and health patterns and medical terms, it was very helpful. I feel like I have new goals and the information they give is allowing me to be proactive. I found the clinician report helpful, it is more helpful with the more detail you give in the health survey. However, if you aren't the same type of advocate or wanting to deep dive into some of the results, I would assume that it is a lot of information (too much?), hard to decipher if issues are more complex than just a high or low marker, and therefore harder to take the next step to be actionable. I really like the AI chat function. I will randomly be thinking about something and then go onto the app and ask. It is nice that is always available and the feedback is immediate. However, AI is not perfect. It has a hard time with results that are confusing and since humans are complex I found that with some of my more confusing results I had to dig deeper and ask the chat a lot of questions. I don't think everyone would notice this, and that's where I think a real clinician would be helpful. Even the clinician's notes didn't really address it. Lastly, I love that you can add on non-standard tests that might be hard to convince another health professional to order for you. Overall, I would recommend and will continue to use Function.

The labs were easy to schedule and customer service was excellent when I had to reschedule. The clinician notes were incredibly thorough and personalized- really pleased with that part. I do wish that there were action steps included re: the markers that were out of range. Other than that, I’m very happy with my experience, felt it was a great value for what I got and will recommend to family and friends.

We, as patients, need to be proactive about our health these days. Unless one has something life threatening it seems physicians pat you on your head and send you on your way. I would like my docs to be excited about what I'm doing to increase my quality of life. I've been with Functional Health for a little more than a year. FH's website is easy to use and offers plenty of information and incite to keep me motivated. I have been using the "chat with AI" and am enjoying it. My questions are answered immediately along with terrific suggestions.

Very good value. The blood test suite would hav cost far more, and the in/range-out of range indications are very useful. However; the website does not make it easy to print out the results or download them in a useful manner.

Excellent blood tests with content. Lots of recommendations for healthier living. However a lot of redundant summary feedback which was obviously written with AI. A better experience would be a with live consultation. Just my 2 cents.

I feel like I don’t quite know what to do with my results. It would be nice to meet with a professional after
