Function Health is primarily selling diagnostic visibility and physician-reviewed lab depth. Lifeforce is selling a broader recurring relationship that combines diagnostics with hormone optimization, peptides, and supplementation.
That means Function Health often works best as a measurement layer, while Lifeforce works best as a one-platform optimization path.

Users who want diagnostic clarity before committing to a broader treatment or membership path often start there first.
