We are committed to providing you with accessible, research-based microbiome insights personal to you. Say Hello to your gut microbiome.

How Your Gut Microbiome Supports Wellness:

Digestion

Your gut microbiome helps break down complex foods and supports nutrient availability your body cannot access on its own. A well-supported microbial ecosystem contributes to smoother, more comfortable digestive processes.

Immunity

Your gut houses a large portion of your immune system. Microbes help educate and regulate immune responses, contributing to balanced, resilient overall wellness.

Gut Barrier Integrity

Your gut lining acts as a selective barrier between your digestive tract and the rest of your body. A balanced microbiome helps support this natural protective layer, which plays a role in overall wellness and stability.

Cognitive Health

Your gut and brain communicate through a network of nerves, hormones, and microbial metabolites. A balanced microbiome is associated with clearer thinking, steadier mood, and overall cognitive well-being.

Metabolism, Inflammation, and Energy

Microbes help break down food and produce metabolites that influence energy production and metabolic balance. A well-functioning microbiome supports steady energy and overall metabolic wellness.

What will I get in my Report?

Genus Composition Overview

Genus is a broader categorization than species. We provide a tree map that shows your genus composition.

Species Diversity

Species diversity metrics are designed to provide insight into microbial richness. Too few species or too much of a select few can indicate low diversity. We provide 4 different species diversity metrics with gauge visuals.

Track Species

Snapshots are useful, but real progress requires tracking and action. The Track Species view allows you to select which species you want to change and monitor how their abundance shifts over time. Dietary actions will be included in this view.

Species Insights Analyzer

The Species Insights Analyzer displays your comprehensive species composition, classification of each organism, relative abundance, and prevalence. You can sort, label, action, or dive into reports directly from the table.

Species Summary Overviews

Species Summary Overviews provide science backed evidence showing the associations and actions for each species.

Species Advanced Reports

Species Advanced Reports dive deeper than Species Summary Overviews, providing more context and evidence than Summary Overviews and include citations to peer reviewed literature studies.

Research Mode

Research Mode is designed to educate users on universal, result-independent evidence tied to each species. Users can filter for specific associations in Research Mode to see which species are linked.

Rarefaction Curve & Raw Results

Rarefaction Curves represent the depth of sequencing and can be used alongside Raw Results to ensure quality of testing.

How often should I test?

We have listed several common test frequencies depending on your goals and gut health budgets:

Quarterly (Recommended): the sweet spot for most people
Biannually: easy, simple, and steady
Monthly: for data-loving, deep-diving enthusiasts

Extra tests: consider additional testing after antibiotics, international travel, major illness, or major diet changes

We sell tests on a per kit basis ($100/kit).
