So most of us are walking around with these blind spots.
We don't really know we have these problems.
We think we're fine.
We don't really know what's going on.
And we think how we feel is kind of normal.
We just have these subtle symptoms or
It's kind of just how we are, and I call it the FLC syndrome, when we feel like crap.
And we think it's normal.
Oh, we should have headaches, or we should have joint pain, or we should have sinus issues, or we should have migraines, or we should be tired, or I should have an irritable bowel, or I'm a little depressed, or whatever.
These are things we come to accept as just part of who we are.
They're really not.
They're just signs of imbalances.
And so we don't really want to guess.
We want to test.
And that's what I would say, test, don't guess.
And we want to use real data, including your medical history and your lab data and lots of other information we're collecting with Function Health, including wearables and your genetics eventually, stool testing.
And this is really where we have access to stuff that you never had access to before, unless you went to the doctor and had
him or her know it the order, which they usually don't because they're only looking for acute disease, and understand how to interpret them, which they don't, and the insurance pay for them, which they won't.
So you're kind of stuck in a system that doesn't allow you to be proactive about your health.
But that's why we co-founded Function was to help really create that platform where you can do this.
