Discover safe, evidence-based gut-health medications and proven strategies to restore digestive wellness. This approach combines treatments supported by clinical research with practical diet and lifestyle changes that tend to improve everyday symptoms. Knowing which options have solid evidence—and how to discuss them with your doctor—helps you create a personalized plan that fits your goals and medical history. In this landscape, having a data-informed view of your gut can make conversations with your clinician more productive. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that power’s brands’ gut microbiome testing products, providing a modular platform that translates complex results into actionable steps for patients and providers alike. Key components of the InnerBuddies platform include a Gut Microbiome Health Index, a 0–100 score that signals overall gut health based on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia; a top 40 bacteria panel showing how your abundances compare to a healthy cohort; bacteria functional analyses that categorize metabolic pathways as positive or negative and compare your results to a healthy reference; Target Group analysis for specific cohorts such as Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, and Skin & Hair Health; Personalized nutrition advice derived from 3‑day food diaries aligned with stool data; and personalized probiotics and prebiotics recommendations tailored to your unique gut microbiome. The platform is modular and flexible, enabling both direct consumer gut test solutions and robust B2B offerings, with many of the same capabilities accessible to consumers directly. This foundation helps translate microbiome insights into practical steps you can discuss alongside gut health medications and other therapies. If you’re preparing to discuss gut health medication with a clinician, start by outlining evidence-based options and how your microbiome data might inform them. Alongside dietary strategies, fiber optimization, and hydration, clinicians may consider prescription medications or targeted interventions for conditions such as IBS, GERD, or inflammatory bowel disease, all chosen based on your symptoms and test results. Bring along a clear summary of your microbiome insights, log any changes in symptoms, and ask about safety, monitoring, and potential interactions. For those who want to explore testing and personalized guidance as part of their discussion, InnerBuddies makes it easy to start with gut-health data and professional-backed recommendations. To learn more and access these solutions, you can explore the InnerBuddies microbiome test, consider a gut-health membership for ongoing insights, or if you’re a business looking to partner, visit the become a partner page.
