Disrupted Gut Bacteria: The Surprising Effects on Your Health

Discover how the effects of disrupted gut bacteria influence digestion, immunity, mood, and overall health. When the gut ecosystem loses balance, you may experience bloating, irregular digestion, more frequent infections, and even mood fluctuations. This is why understanding these effects matters—and how InnerBuddies can help. Our white-label Gut Health Operating System powers robust microbiome testing products for brands and clinics, with a modular design that makes it easy to scale and customize. Central to the platform is the Gut Microbiome Health Index, a 0-to-100 score derived from an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia, turning complex microbiome data into a single, actionable health signal. Inside the InnerBuddies platform, you’ll find a rich set of insights beyond a single number. Bacteria Abundances tracks a top 40 list of bacteria—covering both positive and potentially problematic species—and shows how a user compares to a healthy cohort. Bacteria Functions categorize microbial metabolic activities into positive or negative groups, with pathway-level comparisons to healthy benchmarks. Target Group Analysis lets you drill into specific contexts like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, and Skin & Hair Health, delivering scores on the functional pathways that matter most for each group. Complementing this, Personalized Nutrition Advice links three-day food diaries with stool data to tailor dietary tweaks to your unique microbiome, while Personalized Probiotics and Prebiotics recommendations align strains with your objectives. To rebalance your microbiome today, start with actionable, personalized steps. Aim for a diverse, fiber-rich diet that emphasizes vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, and incorporate fermented foods to support beneficial bacteria. Use the platform’s nutrition guidance to translate your microbiome reading into real meals and snacks that move your Gut Microbiome Health Index in a positive direction. Pair diet with consistent sleep, stress management, and regular activity to bolster digestion and immunity.
