About HelloTummy

Gut science should help people, not overwhelm them.

We built HelloTummy to turn complex microbiome research into personal insights and practical food actions, without the premium price or a supplement sales pitch.

Why we started

The science moved forward. Access did not.

Microbiome research had advanced rapidly, but consumer testing was still expensive, technical and difficult to act on.

Dr. Jacques Mathieu and Quinton Cone saw an opportunity to build something more useful: a test that identifies bacteria at the species level when supported, explains what those findings may mean, and helps people decide what to try next.

How we work

The standard we hold ourselves to.

Every choice should make the science more useful to the person receiving it.
