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

This is Cari's story: a 51-year-old mom of 4 from Jacksonville, FL. A former Joffrey Ballet soloist and e-commerce entrepreneur, Cari was fit and health-focused. In November 2023, her daughter urged her to join Function Health. By December, Cari had completed 100+ lab tests, including the Galleri by Grail test to detect over 50 types of cancer. The Function Clinical Team called with life-changing news: asymptomatic ovarian cancer was detected by the Galleri test. Shocked but empowered, Cari underwent ultrasounds confirming a Stage 3B Ovarian Cancer diagnosis. By January 2024, she had built a team of doctors and a treatment plan to tackle the cancer head-on, with Function supporting her every step of the way. While she fights, she’s spreading the word. Cari's message is clear: testing gives you power. The earlier you test, the more control you have over your future. Read thousands of stories like this from real members at https://lnkd.in/eAB-3Wa3

A groundbreaking study has found heavy metals in tampons—even the organic kind. The study didn’t name tampon brands or test for absorption, leaving potential health risks unknown. You deserve to know what’s in your body and what heavy metals you’ve been exposed to. You don’t need to wait for companies to disclose this information. And you don’t have to deal with surprise bills just to get the testing you need. Conventional healthcare reacts to symptoms but real health is cultivated through awareness. It’s why Function Health members test for common heavy metals, like lead and mercury every year and have the option to add on a test for arsenic and aluminum as needed. This isn’t about fear or blame, it’s about advocating for your health and empowering you with insights to care for your body long-term.
