MY HEALTH & backstory
You know that feeling when you’ve been researching your health and keep getting pinged with Instagram ads targeting you? Well that happened to me and after seeing a few ads, decided to take a deeper dive. As I’ve mentioned, I have been taking my health more seriously the past couple of years and have made some changes to improve my health. I have had a hypothyroid condition since I was 17 and I’ve been taking a thyroid hormone since then. I have had this managed by a few different health professionals over the years including my OB/ GYN, my primary care family doctor, an ENDOCRINOLOGIST and a functional nurse practitioner as well as following all kinds of accounts on Instagram. Most have told me my labwork shows normal despite continuously feeling low energy, losing hair, having dry skin and keeping on extra weight. I was sick of hearing everything looked in normal range and nothing could be done. I kept reading that a hypothyroid is actually the result of an underlying root cause. This made sense to me because at the same time was diagnosed with Mono which has resulted in high Epstein Barr lab results. They definitely correlate. What I was reading from Functional Doctors seemed to resonate the most as far as finding root causes.
FUNCTION HEALTH
I listened to a Dr Huberman podcast that mentioned Function health and offered a discount. I already followed the founder, Mark Hyman on social and had mad respect for him. I like that he is a traditional MD and practices functional medicine which seems to be a rare combo. He started a company called FUNCTION HEALTH, which basically tests every level in your body via bloodwork and urine testing. You fill out some background information online and then schedule your lab visit. Be prepared for two visits, each one taking about 10 vials of blood! I had never in my life had such a thorough panel. The wait after the blood draw takes patience. Your results trickle in one at a time over the course of a few weeks. I geeked out a bit because as each one comes in, you can read all about that specific result and what it means whether you are in or out of range. The Function Health ranges are different than typical bloodwork ranges and want you to be in a more optimal range. If you are an information seeker, Function Health is for you. And even if you aren’t, it just might turn you into one if you are concerned about your health and looking for answers.
THE RESULTS
For one, it completely made my day that my biological age is 31.5! That’s 15 years younger than I am. I gave myself a little pat on the back for being pretty darn healthy. I only had a handful of things that ended up being out of range which gave me real peace of mind and helped me know what to really hone in on. Function also gave me recommendations on what supplements to take. I added on a food sensitivities test for a small additional fee and found out I have dairy sensitivities, specifically to casein. It also spit out a whole list of the best foods for me to eat and the ones to avoid. It tells you what nutrients you are deficient in, any biological markers for disease that are off, perimenopausal info, hormone info, metabolic panel, autoimmune, heart health, kidney, liver, nutrients, etc. Function was worth every penny I spent. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Cheers to taking your health into your own hands!
THE COSTS
The going price for a year’s worth of labwork is $499, however, I have a coupon that gives it to you for $100 off so instead you will pay $399. The reason you want to do Function is that they test way more things than your traditional doctor will order and the insight is much more detailed than any of my doctor visits over the years. My other docs skipped over anything that was close to being in range and often times had no explanation for the things out of range. Function testing is very thorough and the doctor’s notes with the results are so valuable. I had my first tests done a couple of months ago and Function already pinged me to get back in and have a few things tested. This is included in the price! CLICK HERE to get all the testing for one year for $365 by entering the promo code FUNCTIONDAY. This is the best deal I have seen this year and will be good from today through 7/11 so get on this quick!
