0:00.0	I am absolutely excited to share an exclusive offer with the proof community. This is a limited time
0:05.8	offer just for my audience and no doctor referral is needed. Function Health is a comprehensive
0:11.6	at-home blood testing service that gives you access to over 100 biomarkers, covering everything from
0:17.9	heart, liver, kidney and metabolic health to hormone levels, inflammation,
0:22.5	and nutrient status. That, my friends, is five times more testing than the average physical.
0:28.3	I chose function for my own blood work and to be a sponsor of this show because they are the
0:33.6	best in the world when it comes to helping you understand and own your health. It's true,
0:39.2	the depth and quality of their testing is unrivaled. And as regular listeners of this show will know,
0:45.3	you cannot optimize what you don't measure. Don't guess, test. Use function to know exactly
0:51.1	where your health is today and then intervene with evidence-based medicine
0:55.3	and lifestyle changes to feel your best and reduce your risk of chronic disease. With function,
1:01.4	you get access to very important markers like LP little A, a genetically driven cardiovascular
1:07.0	risk factor, APOB, the most predictive marker of atherosclerosis, and LH and FSA, reproductive
1:13.5	hormones typically missing from standard lab panels. It's not uncommon for these biomarkers and others
1:19.9	to be elevated. For example, over 50% of function members have an APOB level and over 20% have an LPA little level that is above the optimal
1:30.2	range. You can even add on harder to access tests like C-Statin C, a very sensitive marker of
1:36.7	kidney function, as well as selenium and iodine nutrients that are essential for thyroid and
1:42.3	overall health, yet rarely tested.
