Where Function Health wins
Breadth. 100+ markers covers ground FORM doesn't include by default (heavy metals, full autoimmune panel, comprehensive nutrient screen).
Convenience for US residents. Quest is everywhere. You walk in, draw, results land in the app.
Twice-a-year cadence is built into the price — no separate booking, no consult fee.
Where FORM wins
Medical interpretation. Every FORM client gets a expert-reviewed PDF report with personalised insights. Function Health gives you AI summaries with optional clinician review — not the same thing.
Hormone depth for men. Sensitive estradiol, free testosterone, full HPG axis. Function Health's standard hormone panel is thinner.
TRT pathway. If your numbers warrant it, FORM produces an expert-reviewed PDF report plus your personalised 12-week protocol your local GP can continue. Function Health refers out.
Speed. Results from 7 days vs 2–3 weeks. Useful when you're acting on symptoms now.
The price question
Function Health at USD 499/yr looks cheap until you add a hormone deep-dive and a competent doctor to read it. By the time you've paid for an endocrinologist visit on top, the math changes.
FORM bundles the consult into the panel price. AUD 450–1,200 depending on panel breadth, with the expert-reviewed PDF report included. No membership lock-in.
FORM is best for
- Men 25–55 wanting hormone-focused bloodwork with MD interpretation
- Australian/NZ/Asia-based men priced out of local private clinics
- Anyone considering TRT and needing a documented protocol
Function Health is best for
- US residents wanting broad annual bloodwork with low effort
- Buyers who value breadth over depth on any single system
- People who prefer self-serve app dashboards over a live consult
FAQs
- Is Function Health available in Australia?
- No. Function Health operates in the US through Quest Diagnostics. Australian buyers can't access the standard product.
- Does FORM offer a membership?
- No. We sell single panels with the expert-reviewed PDF report included. Most men retest every 6–12 months depending on what we're tracking.
- Can I run a Function Health panel and have FORM interpret it?
- Yes. Many clients do exactly this — bring existing lab results to a FORM consult. We charge for the consult, not the labs.
