I’m gifting 10 Function Health memberships. Comment "2025" below to get one.

Ten people will be randomly selected at 11pm ET on January 8th.

At 65, I feel more vibrant and alive than I did in my 20s, and that's because I finally figured out the root causes of certain imbalances and how to optimize my health by tracking key biomarkers like inflammation, nutrient levels, and hormone function.

That's what I want for you.

I'm personally gifting 10 Function memberships for 2025. No strings attached. Just me, believing that YOU deserve the opportunity to truly take control of your health.

For good measure, Function's legal team asked me to add these terms. tinyurl.com/ctj9c8w8

You don’t need a gym membership or expensive gadgets to transform your health—simple, consistent habits can make a profound difference.

Start by cutting out sugar and ultra-processed foods. These foods drive inflammation, disrupt your metabolism, and harm your gut microbiome, which plays a critical role in everything from immunity to brain function. Eliminating them allows your body to heal and perform at its best.

Incorporate daily movement, like walking. This simple habit improves circulation, strengthens your cardiovascular system, supports healthy metabolism, and boosts your mood by regulating stress hormones.

Prioritize quality sleep. During sleep, your body repairs damage, clears out toxins in your brain, and balances your hormones. Without it, even the best diet or exercise routine can’t compensate.

Health doesn’t have to be complicated. Focus on these fundamental steps, stay consistent, and give your body what it needs to thrive. Simple changes create lasting results.

This isn’t just an isolated success story—it’s proof of the incredible power of food to shape our minds, behaviors, and futures.

Ultra-processed foods disrupt the microbiome, trigger chronic inflammation, and impair brain function—leading to mood disorders, impulsivity, and even aggressive behavior.

By replacing these foods with nutrient-dense, whole ingredients, we can support the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which are critical for emotional regulation and mental health.

Imagine the ripple effect if we prioritized real food:
✔️ Schools serving meals that fuel learning and mental health.
✔️ Prisons reducing violence and improving rehabilitation.
✔️ Hospitals using food as medicine to reverse chronic disease.

If healthy meals can transform behavior in a detention center, imagine what they could do in your home, your community, and our society.

Diving into the slow progression from wellness to illness. Give this a listen!

I'm deeply honored to have my work and journey highlighted in this thoughtful piece by The New York Times

Over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to empowering people to take charge of their health, find the root causes of disease, and embrace food and lifestyle as medicine.

Functional medicine has allowed me to reimagine how we prevent and treat chronic illness in a broken system.

I’m grateful to the NYT for exploring the evolution of this movement, the partnerships and stories that have shaped my path, and the incredible potential we have to revolutionize healthcare for the better.

I also want to acknowledge the skeptics who challenge us to do better, as well as the advocates and patients who inspire me every day.

There’s still so much work to be done, but I’m committed to continuing the journey.

If you’re curious about the road that brought us here, and where we’re headed next, I invite you to take a read.

Dr. Mark Hyman, a “functional medicine” proponent and longtime friend of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is finding powerful allies in his bid to treat disease with blood tests and supplements.

Health touches everything. That’s why being named an Inc. Magazine's Winner matters—not just for us, but for you.

To every member who has trusted us with their health, this is for you. Together, we’re redefining what it means to take control of your body, your health, and your future.

These aren’t signs of normal aging—they’re your body’s way of saying it’s under stress. Chronic inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and disrupted gut health are often to blame.

Did you know?
- 93% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy, leading to fatigue, brain fog, and more.
- Over 40% of adults rely on caffeine daily to “fix” energy crashes—but it only masks the problem.
- 70% of your immune system lives in your gut, and digestive issues can ripple out to brain fog, joint pain, and mood swings.

If this sounds like you, chances are you need to take a deeper look at your diet and lifestyle.

These are not just inconveniences, but biomarkers of deeper imbalances. Understanding these warning signs allows us to intervene at the root level.

From Wellness to Illness

The transition from wellness to illness doesn't just happen in one day. Listen to this.

The Path Between Wellness and Illness

Diving into the slow progression from wellness to illness. Give this a listen!

The Transition from Wellness to Illness

Diving into the slow progression from wellness to illness. Give this a listen!

The transition from wellness to illness doesn’t happen overnight—it’s a slow, progressive process. We often treat our pets better than we treat ourselves or our kids. Think about it: Would you feed your dog French fries, a Big Mac, and a Coke? Probably not. Yet, many of us overlook the fact that food is the most powerful medicine we have. What you eat regulates every aspect of your biology—your microbiome, mental health, immune system, and more. Just 10 DAYS of eating whole, real foods can lead to a 70% reduction in symptoms across all chronic diseases. Imagine if a drug could do that!
