Gut Microbial Community: How Your Microbiome Shapes Health

Explore how your gut microbial community shapes digestion, immunity, and mood—because this community's balance influences how you digest meals, resist illness, and ride daily mood swings. By tuning your gut microbial community, you can put practical steps into action today: eat a diverse range of high-fiber plant foods, incorporate fermented foods and naturally probiotic sources, stay hydrated, prioritize consistent sleep, and manage stress through movement or mindfulness. Small, consistent changes can shift the ecosystem in your gut and set the stage for better energy and well-being. InnerBuddies provides a white-label Gut Health Operating System that powers gut microbiome testing products for brands and direct-to-consumer experiences. The platform centers on the Gut Microbiome Health Index—a 0 to 100 score indicating gut health, built on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia—and presents Bacteria abundances for a top 40 panel, showing how you compare to a healthy cohort. It also dissects Bacteria functions into positive and negative categories, with your results benchmarked against the healthy cohort for each functional pathway.

Beyond measurements, InnerBuddies offers Target Group analysis—deep dives into the gut microbiome and functional pathways most relevant for specific groups, such as Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, and Skin & Hair Health, among others. The system also powers personalized nutrition advice by comparing 3-day food diaries with stool data, drawing from a rich database to tailor guidance to your unique microbiome. In addition, personalized probiotics and prebiotics recommendations map strains and regimens to your goals and your current gut microbial community composition. InnerBuddies also delivers gut test solutions directly to consumers, while all the B2B capabilities are available to brands and organizations via the same platform.
