Testing your gut microbiome is important for mental and neurological health because of the gut-brain axis. The microbes in your gut influence brain function, inflammation levels, and neurotransmitter production. Imbalances in the microbiome have been linked to anxiety, depression, and other neurological conditions.
This Gut Health Test delivers detailed insights into both the beneficial (commensal) and harmful (pathogenic) species within your microbiome, along with their accurate relative abundances. Powered by shotgun metagenomics, it provides strain-level resolution and rich data on the microbiome’s functional capacity — from digestion to gut inflammation.
The report delivers a comprehensive, high-resolution picture of the microbiome — significantly more detailed than traditional PCR tests, which are restricted to a small subset of microbes, or 16S methods, which offer limited resolution. All testing is conducted in a CLIA-certified laboratory using our customized, proprietary technology. With strain-level precision, our test can detect over 120,000 microorganisms (including bacteria, viruses, fungi, archaea, and many parasites) commonly found in both gut and vaginal microbiomes.
