Advanced Testing & Diagnostics We Offer
With Functional Medicine we get to the root cause of a symptom. We also aim for optimal health, we don’t just wait for you to get a disease.
Adrenal Saliva Testing
An adrenal saliva test, also known as salivary cortisol test, measures the balance of certain hormones, primarily cortisol, in your saliva. It provides a more detailed picture of your body’s stress response system compared to a blood test, which may not capture the daily variations and changes in hormone levels.
Allergy Testing
Do you often find yourself battling unexplained symptoms, from mysterious skin rashes to persistent digestive issues? Have you ever considered that your body might be trying to tell you something about allergies? At Forum Health, we believe in the transformative power of knowledge when it comes to your health.
Body Composition Analysis – InBody
Body composition analysis refers to measuring your body composition. Instead of focusing on a single number on your scale, body composition analysis allows you to focus on losing body fat and gaining muscle while retaining the proper amount of body water in specific areas of your body.
Cardiometabolic Blood Testing
Relying solely on cholesterol testing is outdated and doesn’t provide a complete picture for assessing cardiovascular health. Our thorough Cardiometabolic panel delivers a wealth of essential information about your well-being.
Cardiometabolic Genetics Testing
Knowing your risk for a heart attack or stroke is key to designing a lifestyle that lessens your risk of experiencing a cardiometabolic event. In addition to lifestyle, genetics plays an important role in your predisposition and risk for cardiometabolic disease.
Chronic Fatigue Testing
Are you tired of feeling tired all the time? Chronic fatigue can be debilitating, affecting your daily life, work, and relationships. Our advanced Chronic Fatigue Testing is designed to provide you with personalized insights to uncover the root causes of your fatigue.
Chronic Infection Testing
Persistent infections, including those from yeast and parasites, can not only cause a range of unpleasant symptoms, they can also deplete the immune system.
DUTCH Hormone Test
The DUTCH test gives answers to complex clinical questions through an extensive profile of sex and adrenal hormones, melatonin, and cortisol (along with their metabolites), as well as measurements of your Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR), and cycle mapping.
Gastrointestinal Effects Testing
A variety of health issues begin as imbalances in the gut. Gastrointestinal effects testing evaluates gut microbes and assesses a select set of biomarkers, providing insight into the root causes of symptoms such as gas, bloating, indigestion, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation.
Heavy Metals Toxicity Testing
Your journey to optimal health starts with knowledge. At Forum Health, we believe in the power of awareness, and one crucial aspect of your well-being that often goes unnoticed is heavy metal toxicity. These invisible culprits can wreak havoc on your body, leading to a range of health issues.
Hormone Blood Testing
Using our advanced testing methods, we uncover hidden imbalances in your hormone levels. Whether you’re experiencing unexplained fatigue, mood swings, or struggling with weight management, our hormone blood test can pinpoint the root cause, guiding our experts in tailoring a personalized treatment plan just for you.
Hormone Saliva Testing
At Forum Health, we understand that optimal health is not one-size-fits-all. That’s why we offer cutting-edge hormone saliva testing, a powerful tool in functional medicine. Unlike traditional blood tests, saliva testing provides a comprehensive view of your hormonal balance without invasive procedures.
Immune System Testing
Immune System Testing reveals the intricate dynamics of your immune system’s function and how it responds to various factors. This insight is instrumental in understanding the foundation of your health and can provide early indicators of potential health conditions.
Mycotoxin Testing
Mycotox Testing is an advanced diagnostic tool offered by Forum Health, designed to detect the presence of mycotoxins – toxic substances produced by certain molds and fungi – in your environment.
