What Your Gut Microbiome Test Results Really Mean for Your Health


Wondering what your gut microbiome test results really mean for your health? Your gut microbiome test results provide a dynamic snapshot of the microbial community in your gut and its potential impact on digestion, immunity, metabolism, and even mood. With InnerBuddies' Gut Health Operating System powering modern gut testing products, you get clear, actionable interpretation rather than a pile of raw data. The core metric is the Gut Microbiome Health Index, a score from 0 to 100 that summarizes overall gut health and is backed by an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. As you read your report, look for where your score sits on the scale and what it suggests for daily energy, resilience, and wellbeing. Beyond the index, your gut microbiome test results include detailed views of Bacteria abundances and Bacteria functions. InnerBuddies reports a top 40 bacteria list showing how you compare against a healthy cohort, with notes for both beneficial and potentially disruptive species. Functions are categorized into positive or negative metabolic activities, helping you understand how your gut ecosystem processes nutrients, signals the immune system, and generates metabolites. Your gut microbiome test results go beyond a single number, revealing how the specific bacteria and pathways relate to goals like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, and Skin & Hair Health through our Target Group analysis, so you can see where you stand and where to focus your efforts. Turn insights into action by tracking changes over time and using practical recommendations. InnerBuddies combines data from your 3-day food diaries with stool samples to tailor a personalized nutrition plan and probiotic/prebiotic guidance. This makes it easier to translate your gut microbiome test results into concrete daily steps, such as choosing fiber sources, fermentation-friendly foods, and timing of meals to support beneficial microbes. In addition to diet, you’ll receive personalized probiotic and prebiotic advice adapted to your unique microbiome profile. And because InnerBuddies serves both consumers and brands, you can access this guidance through consumer products or opt for a white-label solution for your business.
