Unlock Your Best Digestion: 7 Gut Health Indicators to Know


Discover the 7 essential gut health indicators that unlock your best digestion. At the heart of this framework is InnerBuddies, a white-label Gut Health Operating System that empowers brands and clinics to deliver powerful, actionable gut insights. Its modular design lets you mix and match capabilities to power gut microbiome testing products, backed by an exclusive IP collaboration with EAFIT University in Colombia to compute the Gut Microbiome Health Index. Whether you’re a consumer seeking clarity or a business building a health lineup, InnerBuddies provides a scalable, transparent platform to translate complex microbiome data into real-world results. Learn more about how this system works on the InnerBuddies microbiome test page. The seven gut health indicators we focus on are designed to be both comprehensive and actionable. First is the Gut Microbiome Health Index (0–100), a single score that summarizes overall gut health and guides targeted improvements. Next are Bacteria abundances, where you see how your top 40 bacteria compare to a healthy cohort, highlighting patterns linked to digestion and comfort. Third, Bacteria functions categorize microbial metabolic activities as positive or negative, with clear comparisons to a healthy baseline. Fourth, Target Group analysis dives into how your microbiome supports specific goals—Healthy Aging, Endurance or Power Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and more—by scoring relevant functional pathways. Fifth, we examine how diet interacts with your microbiome using 3-day food diaries to reveal what’s helping or hindering digestion. Sixth, Personalized nutrition advice translates these data into tailored meal suggestions, while seventh, Personalized probiotics and prebiotics advice matches strains to your unique gut profile. All indicators are benchmarked against a healthy cohort to spotlight actionable opportunities. This approach benefits both consumers and partners. InnerBuddies provides direct gut test solutions to individuals while also enabling its B2B customers to deploy the same robust indicators under their own brands. If you’re evaluating consumer options, you can explore the full suite of insights via the product page, or upgrade to ongoing guidance with the gut health membership for continuous monitoring and tailored recommendations.
