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

 

And 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.
