The Gut Microbiome Kit and Report translates advanced gut microbiome data taken from a stool sample into an easy-to-read, comprehensive map of your unique microbial community. This insight-driven report breaks down the complex science of your gut microbiome to give you a clearer view of how your microbiome shapes your body.
What’s Included in Your Report:
- Alpha Diversity Measures: Evaluates the internal richness and evenness of your microbial community using both the Shannon Diversity Index and Phylogenetic Diversity (Faith’s PD).
- Overall Gut Health Score: Combines your bacterial diversity, your dysbiosis percentile, and your microbiome’s butyrate production into a single, big-picture metric.
- Metabolic Phenotypes: Evaluates the capacity of your bacteria to produce essential vitamins (such as B vitamins and Vitamin K), short-chain fatty acids, and neuroendocrine metabolites.
- Gut-Body Connections: Examines data patterns related to key physiological pathways, including the gut-brain, gut-heart, gut-immune, and gut-skin axes.
- Microbial Ratios & Keystone Bacteria: Measures the abundance of crucial, stabilizing keystone species alongside essential microbial balances like the Firmicutes / Bacteroidetes ratio.
- Personalized Food Recommendations: Provides a ranked list of specific foods and nutrients designed to support your gut ecosystem and help guide it toward better balance.
