See the Invisible: How to Assess Microbial Diversity

See the invisible: master practical methods to assess microbial diversity—from sequencing to real-world applications. This page centers on microbial diversity assessment as the bridge between raw sequencing signals and actionable health and performance insights. By advancing from broad taxonomic inventories to functional profiles, you can translate complex data into targeted actions—from personalized nutrition to tailored lifestyle interventions. Core to turning microbial diversity assessment into real-world impact is InnerBuddies’ Gut Health Operating System. This modular platform empowers brands and researchers to scale their gut microbiome testing with confidence. Explore the product that powers this approach: InnerBuddies microbiome test. It offers a Gut Microbiome Health Index (a 0–100 score) built on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia, plus a top-40 set of bacterial abundances and a function map where each metabolic category is labeled as positive or negative. The system also includes Target Group analysis for populations like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, and Skin & Hair Health, plus personalized nutrition and probiotic/prebiotic recommendations that align with your unique gut microbiome profile. When you pair microbial diversity assessment with practical tools, the path from data to decisions becomes clearer. InnerBuddies’ platform makes it possible to compare an individual’s bacterial abundances and functional pathways against a healthy cohort, and to monitor how shifts in diversity relate to outcomes over time. For ongoing engagement, consider adding a subscription that keeps you in the loop between tests: Gut Health Membership. This service leverages a large database linking daily food diaries to microbiome changes, enabling personalized guidance that evolves as your microbiome does.
