What this video covers
This is a first-person review from the creator David Alex, published on the channel of the same name on 8 September 2025 and running 14:26. The title says it comes 240 days after starting with Function Health, and it closes by asking whether the viewer should sign up. It is not a video from the company itself. According to its description, the creator paid $500 and had more than 100 biomarkers tested.
The chapters show a clear order. The creator first explains why they chose Function Health, then covers getting started, the testing process, a review of their results, a section on clinical notes, and a verdict on whether it is worth the cost. The description says the video covers how easy the testing is, detailed breakdowns of results, and what the creator calls major pitfalls in the clinical notes. It also says the creator reports a biological age 12 years below their calendar age. The metadata does not say how that figure was measured, so the video is the place to check it.
The description begins with a note that the price has dropped to $365 per year and links to a sign-up page on the creator's own domain. It also mentions a special discount available through that link. The link is promotional, and the description does not say whether the creator earns from sign-ups. Readers may want to keep that in mind. The write-up above is based only on the title, description and chapter list, not on the video itself.
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.
