Your Gut Health Insights
This test helps you understand more about your gut microbiome and the
impact it has on your overall health. We hone in on the unique activity
inside of you, translating millions of data points from your gut into
over 20 gut health scores that form the foundation of your
recommendations. Our unique sequencing technology allows us to see
things in your gut such as inflammatory activity, if you're having
trouble breaking down certain foods, if opportunistic microbes are
causing problems, if your microbes are impacting your blood sugar
response, and much more. Your recommendations target the areas of your
gut health that need specific nutrients to support and that may be the
root cause of symptoms such as GI issues, occasional gas and bloating,
irregular bowel movements, skin irritation, hormone imbalances, trouble
sleeping, trouble losing weight, and other symptoms associated with poor
gut health. By taking this test, you'll gain a deeper understanding of
your gut health and the steps you can take to improve it.
Your Food Recommendations
Your customized food list of over 400 foods is sorted into four categories for Avoid, Minimize, Enjoy, and Superfood status.
- Enhance nutrient uptake for maximum nutrient absorption
- Stimulate beneficial gut microbes to increase vitamin and butyrate production
- Inhibit the activity of harmful gut bacteria and reduce the risk of toxic byproducts like LPS, TMA, gas, and biofilm
- Reinforce the gut lining to minimize the risk of "leaky gut" and improve digestive health
- Address the underlying factors contributing to inflammation
- Personalize your dietary approach to optimize blood sugar levels and minimize food-related inflammation
- Support
oral health by inhibiting the growth of bacteria that causes bad
breath, balancing oral pH, and addressing inflammatory activity in your
mouth - Slow biological aging by addressing activities contributing to inflammation throughout your body
Your Supplement Recommendations
Your carefully curated selection of ingredients is chosen to
help support health functions you personally need to focus on*. Every
user's recommended supplements are unique and based on your results.
When considering how much you need of a particular ingredient, we
consider the dosages used in clinical trials, the severity of your
suboptimal scores, and your stage of life. You will receive
recommendations and supporting insights for:
- Vitamins
- Digestive enzymes
- Polyphenols
- Amino acids
- Minerals
- Herbs
- Food Extracts
Your Gut Probiotic + Prebiotic Recommendations
We bridge the gap between your gut's needs and the most
effective probiotic strains and fibers to achieve optimal results. Your
personalized recommendations only feature safe strains that promote gut
health and avoid those that could have negative effects.
Taking the right probiotics for your needs can have a tremendous impact on
- Gastrointestinal issues & bloating*
- Boosting richness & diversity*
- Motility & regularity*
- Gut-brain health*
- Gut-skin health*
- Gut-immune health*

A few things you can learn with Gut Intelligence
-
If your gut shows signs of inflammation
Certain gut microbes can produce a proinflammatory molecule, Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for example. If enough activity takes place leading to LPS production, this can inflame your GI system and promote the development of leaky gut and permit proinflammatory molecules including LPS to enter the bloodstream and activate your immune response.
-
If your gut is a microbial war zone
There are microbes that are referred to as “opportunists.” That is
because when the opportunity is right they may strike and try to take
over. It can make other microbes have to fend for themselves and create a
war zone in your gut. When our microbes are at war, they can secrete
certain toxins to defend themselves or take over. Some of these toxic
“bullets” might disrupt your gut lining, trigger an immune response, or
cause an inflammatory environment in your gut.
Viome can pinpoint and monitor these types of aggressive behaviors by assessing the activity levels of specific pathways. -
If foods high in oxalate are problematic for your gut
Even foods like spinach aren’t healthy for everyone. We have discovered that many of our users have low microbial oxalate metabolism activity. For these people, avoiding foods high in oxalate like spinach and almonds might be beneficial and keep your risk of kidney stones at bay.
-
How your gut microbiome impacting your blood sugar response
In a clinical research study from Viome, individuals consuming similar foods showed big differences in their glycemic response. It turns out, certain microbial activities (what the microbes are actually doing inside of you) can contribute to shifting how your body responds to foods that contain carbs by buffering the level of sugar being released into the bloodstream or even by spiking it.
-
Why cruciferous vegetables might make you gassy
30% of our users have high pathway activity for microbial sulfide gas production. Although cruciferous vegetables have antioxidants can be potent warriors against illness, many people feel uncomfortable and bloated after consuming vegetables rich with glucosinolates. If your Viome test shows highly active pathways that result in sulfide gas, glucosinolates may not be good for you.
-
If your gut isn’t converting those berries into benefits
Some microbes in your gut can take dietary fiber that we can’t digest and convert it into butyrate, a beneficial short chain fatty acid that can beef up our gut lining defense and help guard against leaky gut. Viome not only monitors how active your microbes are at producing butyrate in your gut, but also suggests ways to improve your microbial production of butyrate.
-
If your gut is producing beneficial butyrate
Some microbes in your gut can take dietary fiber that we can’t digest and convert it into butyrate, a beneficial short chain fatty acid that can beef up our gut lining defense and help guard against leaky gut. Viome not only monitors how active your microbes are at producing butyrate in your gut, but also suggests ways to improve your microbial production of butyrate.
