September is World Alzheimer's Month, but most people never check their brain health until something's feeling off or wrong. I wanted to stop waiting and look at my own data. So I signed up for Function. It provides straightforward blood tests that can give you the kind of information about what's happening inside your body that was simply unavailable to most people just a few years ago. Your focus and mental stamina leave a data trail in your blood, and Function tracks it. Did you know that magnesium is tied to brain health? It actually supports nerve signaling and focus under stress. And your omega-3 index fuels brain cell membranes and is tied to focus and cognitive performance. You can get tests for these biomarkers and more through Function. Plus, Function members can also get brain-related add-on tests like an Alzheimer's Detection Test, which measures blood markers that can flag Alzheimer's risk years before symptoms. Check your brain and health the way I do. Function provides 160-plus lab tests for a dollar a day and member pricing on advanced imaging.
