To understand how these eating habits by continent relate to gut health, InnerBuddies offers a modular, white-label Gut Health Operating System that brands can embed into their products. The Gut Microbiome Health Index is a score from 0 to 100 that signals the overall health of your gut microbiome, built on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. We also show your Bacteria abundances, including a top 40 bacteria list, and how you compare against a healthy cohort for each of these microorganisms. Bacteria functions are categorized and labeled as positive or negative, allowing you to see how your metabolic pathways stack up with the healthy baseline. With Target Group analysis, you can understand gut health in contexts like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, and Skin & Hair Health, among others. And with personalized nutrition advice, based on 3-day food diaries and stool samples, you receive tailored guidance on how your meals — including typical dishes from your continent — impact your gut. You can explore these capabilities through our InnerBuddies microbiome test or learn more about our gut health membership, which makes this science accessible to individuals. For businesses, the same suite powers white-label solutions through our B2B partner program. Whether you’re a consumer curious about how your eating habits by continent influence your gut or a brand seeking to offer gut health insights at scale, InnerBuddies provides the tools to explore and act on data. Start with a test, log your 3-day food diaries, and see how your meals align with regional patterns and your gut microbiome’s profile.
