Function Health was founded with a singular focus: to empower you to live 100 healthy years. A Function membership starts with routine whole-body lab testing (100+ tests) and personalized evidence-based insights from the world's top doctors. It puts your health in your hands and eliminates layers of noise and complexity. Function is an annual subscription designed to serve people throughout their lifetime.
