What this video covers

This is a personal review of Function Health, a lab testing service, from the creator Taylor Mckinley. According to its description, the video follows the whole process from start to finish, explains how the service works, and gives the creator's own opinion. The creator says the experience helped them understand their body and make better food choices.

The chapters show the order of the video. It opens with a short introduction, then explains what Function Health is, covers the testing day, and goes through preparation and scheduling. Next come add-on tests, with gluten named in the chapter title, and the reasons for choosing this lab. A short pricing and value section starts at 6:45. From 7:06 the creator reviews their lab results, with chapters on heart health, metabolic health, and nutrient and thyroid levels. The video ends with a section on lifestyle and final thoughts. The tags mention high cholesterol, low leptin and low omega 3s, but the title, description and chapters do not say what the results were or what they mean, so this page does not report any.

This is not a Function Health video. It is made by an independent creator. The description includes a personalized Function Health link, a discount code for a health coach certification program, and links to shopping pages, so some of the page is promotional. Because the pricing chapter is brief, readers comparing costs should check current plan pricing separately. This is one person's experience and not medical advice.

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.
