Mind-Gut Connection: Microbiome Testing for Mental Health

Mental health microbiome testing is a powerful way to understand how gut bacteria influence mood, stress resilience, and cognitive clarity. By looking at the gut-brain axis through science-based testing, you can uncover how inflammation, neurotransmitter production, and gut signaling affect your daily mental well-being. When the gut ecosystem is out of balance, mood fluctuations, sleep trouble, and brain fog can follow. With a clear, data-driven plan, you can start aligning your gut health with your mental health goals and daily performance. InnerBuddies brings this science to life with a white-label Gut Health Operating System that powers microbiome testing products for companies and consumers alike. The system features a Gut Microbiome Health Index (0–100) that indicates overall gut health, built on an exclusive IP collaboration with EAFIT University in Colombia. You’ll also see detailed bacteria abundances, a top 40 bacteria comparison against a healthy cohort, and labeled bacterial metabolic functions (positive or negative) with cohort benchmarks. For deeper insights, Target Group analysis dives into how microbiome function maps to groups like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, and Skin & Hair Health, with practical implications for mood regulation and mental well-being.
