Sleep. Stress. Gut. They’re a trio, each one nudging the other.

🚩 Stress can change digestion, loosen the gut barrier, and amplify immune signaling.
🚩 Poor sleep raises next-day stress hormones and is linked with microbiome shifts and more inflammation.
🚩 When both slide? Resilience drops and it’s easier to get sick.

⚠️ Ready to rebalance the triangle? Talk to a Forum Health provider for testing and a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle.

🧠✨ Your immune system has been in its feels this whole time.

Psychoneuroimmunology (try saying that 3x fast) explains what ancient wisdom has always known: your mind and body can’t stop talking to each other.

The wild part? Chronic stress can disrupt immune defense and slow healing by up to 40%.

Your thoughts are writing the instructions for your cells, but you can help shape the outcome.

Connect with a Forum Health provider to address:

✨ Root causes, not just symptoms.
✨ Your mental AND physical wellness.
✨ Your unique mind-body connection.

“They told me my labs were fine—but I didn’t feel fine.”
Sound familiar?

Forum Health provider, Nicole Jano, PA-C, shares why so many patients with hypothyroid symptoms feel unheard—and how "normal" labs don’t always tell the full story.

⚠️ A wide TSH range
⚠️ Missed markers
⚠️ Lingering symptoms despite “normal” results

If you’re still feeling off, tired, or stuck, it's time to look deeper—not just at numbers, but at you.

Thyroid problems are more common—and more complex—than most people realize.

If you’re feeling off but keep being told your labs look “normal,” it might be time to take a closer look.

Your thyroid is a master regulator of your body. When it’s not working optimally, it can affect everything from gut health and metabolism to mood, hormones, and energy. And often, the signs are subtle... until they’re not.

🌿 Brain fog
🌿 Fatigue
🌿 Cold hands and feet
🌿 Weight gain
🌿 Low libido
🌿 And more...

At Forum Health, we look beyond surface-level labs. Our functional thyroid testing identifies what’s really going on—and helps you return to feeling like you again.

Think your thyroid might be the missing link?
