Common symptoms:

• Plaque formation on your teeth
• Bad breath
• Bleeding gums
• Mouth sores
• Gum sensitivity
• Tooth sensitivity
• Respiratory issues

Your oral health is an important indicator of your overall health, as your mouth is the gateway to your body. The health of your oral microbiome impacts many other systems in your body, including your cardiovascular, immune, bone, and brain health. 

Our test provides insights into the activities of microbes in the mouth that contribute to gum inflammation, bad breath, and cavities. By analyzing the microbial pathways that cause these issues, we can provide personalized nutrition recommendations that help to rebalance your oral microbiome and reduce your risk of oral health problems.

Common symptoms:

• Fatigue
• Low stamina
• Low endurance

Our test provides valuable insights into your energy and physical performance by analyzing the health of your cellular function. Symptoms like fatigue, weakness, low stamina, and endurance can indicate a lack of cellular nutrition or suboptimal cellular functioning. 

Cells that lack the nutrition they need can't keep up with the body's metabolic demands, leading to a loss of function that is often the earliest measurable indicator of aging and health decline. Our analysis looks at the aging of your cells and factors like cellular stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial health to identify any cellular health issues that may be affecting your energy levels and physical performance.

Common symptoms:

• Trouble losing weight
• Trouble maintaining weight
• Poor blood sugar control

The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in producing and metabolizing various hormones and neurotransmitters that regulate metabolism, including leptin, ghrelin, and serotonin. Additionally, the microbiome can influence the breakdown and absorption of dietary nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, impacting energy metabolism and body weight.

We measure active microbial organisms and functions associated with macronutrient breakdown and other patterns around digestion, along with blood sugar, insulin resistance, and weight control. By analyzing the activity of your gut microbiome, we can identify any imbalances that may be affecting your metabolic health and make personalized recommendations to optimize your nutrition and support healthy weight management.

Common symptoms:

• Poor concentration
• Brain fog
• Memory problems
• Confusion
• Feelings of anxiousness
• Feeling down
• Mood swings
• Irritability

The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in the development of our brain and nervous system, as well as the management of neurological functions like mood and memory. Our test's insights into brain and mood health are designed to give you a comprehensive view of how your microbiome impacts your cognitive and emotional well-being. 

We analyze your microbial activity to identify imbalances affecting your brain health, mood, concentration, and mental clarity. Our analysis looks at specific microbial activities that contribute to the production of serotonin and GABA, neurotransmitters that play a critical role in regulating mood and anxiety. By identifying pathways, like the ones to support serotonin and GABA production, we can make targeted dietary recommendations to boost your mood and cognitive function.

Common symptoms:

• Trouble falling asleep
• Restless sleep
• Walking unrested
• Daytime sleepiness

Your gut microbiome is crucial in regulating the body's circadian rhythm, the internal biological clock that helps regulate our sleep-wake cycle, hormone production, and other physiological processes. The gut microbiome also produces neurotransmitters and hormones that influence your circadian rhythm, such as serotonin for regulating sleep and mood and melatonin for regulating the sleep-wake cycle.

Our analysis focuses on specific microbial activities that impact your body's ability to produce and utilize these important neurotransmitters and hormones. We look for serotonin production-assisting pathways and microbial activities that contribute to the production of GABA, both of which are essential for regulating sleep and mood. We also identify activities that may negatively impact your ability to fall and stay asleep. These activities could include inflammation or imbalances in gut microbiota that produce harmful substances that affect brain function.

Common symptoms:

• Fatigue
• Food sensitivities
• Food allergies
• Skin irritations
• Slow recovery from illness & infections

Our test's insights into immune system health are designed to help you understand how your microbiome impacts your body's immune response, including your body’s preparedness to fight off bad viruses and bacteria, ability to clear toxins, and management of oxidative stress.

In addition, we analyze your body's ability to clear toxins from the gut, manage oxidative stress, and address pro-inflammatory activity, which is critical for maintaining overall health and supporting your immune system. Our nutrition recommendations support your body's alarm system and repair mechanism, helping optimize your immune system health. 

Common symptoms:

• High cholesterol
• Leg discomfort
• Headaches
• Limited physical activity
• Fatigue

Our test provides valuable insights into your cardiovascular and heart health by analyzing the activity of your microbial and human gene expressions. Your gut microbiome plays a vital role in cardiovascular health through its impact on inflammation, cholesterol metabolism, and blood pressure regulation. While managing cholesterol is important, many other factors can contribute to poor cardiovascular health, including oxidative stress, endothelial function, kidney function, and vitamin and mineral status.

Our analysis looks at specific indicators of high oxidative stress and activities that promote inflammation, both of which can have a significant impact on your cardiovascular and heart health. We also analyze your gut microbiome's impact on vascular health and cholesterol metabolism, two critical factors in maintaining a healthy heart.
