Gut Microbial Communities: How Your Microbiome Shapes Health

Discover how your gut microbial communities shape health—from digestion and immunity to mood. These trillions of microbes in your gut form a dynamic ecosystem that affects how you metabolize nutrients, defend against pathogens, and even communicate with the brain. By following practical, science-backed steps to nourish your gut microbial communities today, you can support a healthier body and more balanced mood. InnerBuddies powers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that lets companies and clinicians bring robust gut testing experiences to market. The platform features a Gut Microbiome Health Index that scores gut health on a 0–100 scale, built on an exclusive IP agreement with EAFIT University in Colombia. You’ll also see how your personal gut microbial communities compare on the top 40 bacteria against a healthy cohort, with clear explanations of positive versus negative players. In addition, all bacterial functions are categorized and labeled as positive or negative, so you can see how your functional pathways stack up against the healthy baseline. To deepen insight, InnerBuddies offers Target Group Analyses for areas like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and more, helping you interpret what matters most for your lifestyle. Personalized nutrition advice pulls from 3-day food diaries and stool sample data, delivering science-backed recommendations tailored to your unique gut microbial communities. The system also provides personalized probiotics and prebiotics advice, matching specific strains and nutrients to your objectives and your individual microbiome profile. InnerBuddies also makes gut health accessible directly to consumers.
