Why microbiome testing with BiomeFX
Why test your gut microbiome?
Your gut microbiome plays a key role in:
- Immune function: 80% of your immune function is in your gut!
- Digestion
- Metabolism
- Skin health
- Hormone regulation
- Production of neurotransmitters (for brain and mood regulation)
Your microbiome can be damaged by:
- Recent or frequent antibiotics (including herbal antimicrobials)
- Limited diet
- Low fiber diet
- Highly processed food diet
- Artificial sweeteners
- Chronic stress
- Poor sleep
- Smoking
- Environmental toxins
- Intense athletic training
- Excessive alcohol
Why is BiomeFX the Test I Recommend?
The BiomeFX stool test uses a superior whole genome sequencing technology that can give you insights on:
- Microbes present and microbes missing, including important keystone species
- A picture of microbe diversity, including ratios of particular groups. More diversity, and of the right species and proportions, gives your system more resilience.
- How the functions of the microbiome are doing, and whether they are out of range high or low. (Functions include production of short-chain fatty acids, neurotransmitters, vitamins, estrogen recycling, methane production, and more...)
- An indication of resistance to antibiotics (a high score indicates pathogens could be flourishing)-- Pathogenic species are also tested for.
- Indicators of gall bladder function, stomach acid, etc.
BiomeFX provides a detailed roadmap to promote optimal microbiome health, tailored specifically to you.
