Standard results can come back “normal”

You’re told everything looks fine, but that doesn’t explain why you still:

Wake up tired, even after 8 hours of sleep
Struggle to lose weight despite eating well and exercising
Feel anxious, irritable, or emotionally off for no clear reason
Notice hair thinning, skin changes, or irregular cycles
Get sick more often or recover more slowly

These aren’t random, they’re signals that standard panels don’t test.

How it works

The lab panel your regular doctor won’t run

We test 75+ biomarkers across six critical systems — the ones that actually explain why you feel the way you do. 

1

Heart & cardiovascular risk

Know your true cardiac risk—not just cholesterol. We test advanced markers like ApoB, hs-CRP, homocysteine, uric acid, and lipid ratios to detect inflammation and artery risk early.

 

What it means for you: actionable insight to prevent heart issues before they become serious.

Thyroid function

Standard thyroid tests check just TSH. We go deeper with TSH, Free T3, Free T4, and antibodies to see how well your thyroid is actually functioning.

 

What it means for you: real answers if you feel off—even when basic tests say you’re “normal.”

Metabolic health & blood sugar

HbA1c, fasting insulin, and glucose show how your body handles energy—not just blood sugar. Most tests miss early insulin resistance.

 

What it means for you: clarity on whether your metabolism is holding you back—and what’s driving weight, energy, or cravings.

Hormone balance

We test estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S, and cortisol for a complete hormone picture—not just a couple of markers.

 

What it means for you: real insight into symptoms like mood changes, low libido, poor sleep, and cycle issues that basic testing often misses.

Inflammation & immune function

hs-CRP, ferritin, and a full CBC reveal inflammation, immune health, and iron status—issues routine exams often miss.

 

What it means for you: answers behind fatigue, pain, frequent illness, or that “something’s off” feeling.

Nutrient status

We test vitamin D, B12, folate, RBC magnesium, and iron—key nutrients for energy, mood, and immunity that are often overlooked.

 

What it means for you: targeted supplementation based on what you actually need, not guesswork.

  • Lori H.

    Wow!! Finally someone who “hears” what you’re saying, understands what you’re going through without being told “it’s in your head” or “your labs are normal”. They look deep to find the root cause, they do NOT put a “bandaid” on your symptoms! Highly recommend!!

  • Jamie T.

    My regular doctor didn’t want to listen to me when I said I felt off. After struggling for several years, I discovered Forum Health. After doing full labs and realizing I needed hormone replacement therapy, I’m like me again! I wish every woman could discover what it’s like to have a medical team listen to you! Thank you for giving me my life back!

Begin your journey with advanced lab testing, expert provider review, and personalized guidance—all designed to help you take control of your health.

Frequently asked questions

Your annual physical typically checks 10–15 markers. Forum Foundation tests 75+ biomarkers across your heart, thyroid, hormones, metabolism, inflammation, and nutrient levels. More importantly, your results are reviewed by a functional medicine provider who looks at optimal ranges — not just whether you’re “in range” by population standards. 

No. Many patients are proactive — they feel fine but want to optimize or catch issues early. Forum Foundation is designed for both: people who know something’s off AND people who want to stay ahead of their health. 

Yes — that’s our Lab Decoder service. If you already have lab work and want a clinician-guided review with personalized next steps, Lab Decoder may be the better starting point. Call 833-591-0545 and our team can help you decide.
