Rank 07Function Health
Comprehensive lab testing membership
A membership offering broad annual lab panels well beyond what a routine physical typically orders, which surfaces more data points but also raises a genuine, well-documented clinical concern: more testing in people without symptoms increases incidental findings that may not improve outcomes.

Rank 08Editor’s pickNoom
Behavior-change weight management app
Noom’s psychology-based approach has some published supporting studies, though a meaningful share of the most-cited research was funded or conducted by the company itself, a real limitation worth weighing against independently replicated findings.
