This is not just another announcement. Over the past few months, you’ve heard me talk about @functionhealth. 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.
