What this video covers
This is a first-person video from the independent channel MadeOn Hard Lotion, published on January 20, 2025 and running 7:31. It is not a Function Health production. According to its description, the creator had finished two blood draws about two weeks apart and was waiting on results when they recorded it. It is labeled Part 1.
The description says the creator was in range for most of the 100+ biomarkers on the panel, and that their biological age came out more than 10 years below their actual age. These are the creator's own reported figures, and we have not checked them. The description also says the final results will come with clinician notes, which the creator expects to show which areas need work. They plan to repeat the blood work in four months to see whether changes to lifestyle, supplements, food or other habits made a difference.
The chapters show a screen tour of the Function Health dashboard. It starts with how the creator accessed the service and the timeline for the first lab results. It then covers how biomarkers and results are displayed, what clinician notes and reports to expect, a cholesterol and heart health section, personalized insights, and the biological age display. The last chapters cover subscription details, follow-up tests and the creator's closing thoughts. The description points to a page on the creator's own site for updates. We could not read the captions, so this summary reflects only the title, description and chapter list.
Our summary, written from the video's title, description and chapters (description and chapters), checked 2026-10-31. It reports what the creator presents; it is not medical advice, and the creator's experience may not match yours.
