A care plan built around you. A guide that stays.

Maybe you have results you want to understand. An appointment coming up. Or a routine you want to rethink. You can bring all of it to Holistic, in the same place you already text.

Your guide asks about your health history, goals and everyday life, then brings what you share into a personalized care plan. That can include nutrition and lifestyle ideas, supplement suggestions and questions to take to a clinician. When something changes, come back to the conversation. Meet your guide.

When you want to take the next step, ask through Holistic. You can request lab testing and help arranging your test, or ask our team to match you with a relevant clinic. Bring the results and questions back to your guide afterward. Labs, care and your guide.

Why start with Holistic?

Your whole conversation belongs here. Bring your sleep, food, routines, existing results and the questions you did not get to ask at your last visit. Your guide uses the context you share to make the conversation more personal.

You can get started for free. There is no paid guide membership to choose before your first question. Your plan and ongoing conversations are free, whether or not you buy anything.

Your next steps can start here too. Request a lab test, ask for help finding a clinician or explore optional supplements. Your guide remains the place to bring your questions before and after. Testing, supplements and clinical care are paid separately. Explore Holistic.

Support fits into your year. Come back with an update, a result or a new goal. Your ongoing AI guide uses the context you share, and can check in with your permission. It all happens in Messages. How Holistic works.

When Function Health may be the right fit

If you are looking to purchase a defined testing package, Function offers annual and mid-year testing with results review, an action plan and AI support. Its workflow brings new test results into a member dashboard so you can review them over time. Function's workflow.

Check the included tests, local draw options and total cost for your location. Function's membership renews automatically at the applicable rate unless cancelled; imaging, extra tests and some services cost more. Function membership terms.

Already using Function? Bring your questions with you.

You can use Holistic alongside Function. Share the results you choose in Messages, add the context that matters to you, and ask your guide to help explain the information and prepare questions for your clinician.

For example, you could text:

I have my lab results and a visit next week. Help me put my questions in order.

After the visit, keep the conversation going. Bring back what you want to understand, update your routine or ask about a new question. Function has its own guidance too; Holistic gives you another way to keep that conversation close at hand. Sharing results with Holistic.

Your labs. Your clinician. Your ongoing guide.

Request lab testing through Holistic and get help arranging your test. Ask for a clinician match when you want clinical care. Our team can look for a relevant clinic and coordinate an introduction; the clinic confirms the practitioner, appointment options and costs. You can also keep a clinician you already know.

Your guide stays with you through those steps. Discuss your results, prepare for a visit and return afterward with new questions. As your needs change during the year, you can come back to the same conversation. Connected support through Holistic.

Clinicians decide which tests and treatments are appropriate and handle diagnosis and prescribing. Holistic's AI does not diagnose or prescribe, and the initial care plan and supplement suggestions are not reviewed by a licensed professional. Clinical availability and costs vary; Holistic is not for emergencies. How clinical care fits.

A few good questions

Is Holistic really free?

Yes. Your AI-guide conversations and care plan are free. Supplements, lab tests and independent clinical care are optional and priced separately. You do not need to buy supplements to keep using your guide.

Do I need new lab results to begin?

No. Start with what is on your mind and the information you already have. If you have results, you can share them in the conversation.

Can I book labs through Holistic too?

Yes. Request testing through Holistic and get help arranging your test. Lab purchases are separate from your free guide and care plan. Available tests and booking options depend on your location and clinical requirements.

What is the main difference in how I pay?

Function sells a membership that includes a defined testing package and support. Holistic starts with a free AI guide and care plan, with labs, supplements and independent clinical care available as separate purchases. Compare the tests and services you actually want before choosing.

Do I have to download an app?

No. Holistic works in Messages, including iMessage on iPhone and Google Messages on Android. You do not need a web account to start texting. Getting started.

Will my plan be shared with a clinic?

During a requested clinic search, a potential clinic may review an anonymized summary. Sharing your full care plan requires separate explicit authorization. Your sharing choices.

Your next step can be a text.
