Gut Check What can viome's gut test reveal about your diet? The human microbiome is the complex ecosystem of microorganisms that live in and on the human body. Over the last 15 years, scientists have discovered that this ecosystem plays a huge role in our overall health. And of particular importance is the gut microbiome, which is the community of symbiotic bacteria and other microorganisms that live in your digestive tract. Recent research has revealed that the gut microbiome affects almost every system in the body, including the digestive system, immune system, and cardiovascular system. There have also been studies that specifically link gut health to a number of human diseases and conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, irritable bowel syndrome, and colon cancer. You've probably noticed that TV doctors and natural health bloggers like to recommend all sorts of foods, beverages, and probiotic products that supposedly improve gut health. Unfortunately, while the science behind gut health is legitimate, a lot of these recommendations are not. To put it simply, Viome's Gut Intelligence Test is the most advanced gut microbiome test in the world. It uses sophisticated metatranscriptomic sequencing technology developed at the Los Alamos National Laboratory to map the strains and species of bacteria, fungi, phages, yeast, and viruses that make up your unique gut microbiome. With this information, Viome can recommend the right foods you should be eating more of and the ones you should be avoiding right now. Viome's analysis also includes comprehensive scores based on the health of your gut. In fact, it's pretty amazing what they can see from your poop.
