How it works

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.

Personalized recommendations for Probiotics + Prebiotics

Not all probiotics are created equal! By thoroughly understanding your gut's unique needs, we can match you with the most effective probiotic strains and fibers to support your gut health. Additionally, we will make sure your recommendations don't include any probiotics that could potentially contribute to harmful microbial activities

Probiotics, meaning "for life," are living microorganisms that can improve digestive health, boost immunity, balance gut microbiota, and support overall health. However, it's important to note that what may be beneficial for one person may not be the same for another. The best way to determine your optimal probiotic needs is by testing your gut microbiome with Viome

Prebiotics are indigestible carbohydrates found in fruits and vegetables that serve as food for beneficial gut bacteria and enhance the effects of probiotics. They not only support the gut lining, but also promote a balanced gut ecosystem by favoring commensal microbes. We will use your test results to find the best combination of prebiotic fibers to improve butyrate production, enhance immune function, reduce gas production, and more.
