Unlock Peak Fitness: How Your Microbiome Drives Performance


Unlock peak fitness isn't just about hard workouts—it's about understanding the microbiome and fitness. Your gut microbiome fuels energy, endurance, and faster recovery by shaping how you extract energy from nutrients, modulating systemic inflammation, and producing metabolites that support muscle function during training. Science-backed tips for optimizing performance often start in the gut: diversify your fibers, time your nutrients around workouts, and monitor recovery markers. With InnerBuddies' white-label Gut Health Operating System, brands can power their own gut microbiome testing products and deliver evidence-based insights to athletes and active people. Discover how the InnerBuddies microbiome test informs performance dashboards and personalized plans. Inside the platform, the Gut Microbiome Health Index provides a single 0–100 score of gut health, derived from an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. Bacteria Abundances reveal the top 40 bacteria, with clear comparisons against a healthy cohort so you can see where your gut stands on key players linked to energy metabolism and recovery. Bacteria Functions classify metabolic pathways as positive or negative, letting you track how function-level shifts may support endurance and training adaptation. With Target Group analysis, you can zoom in on Endurance Sport, Power Sport, Healthy Aging, and other clusters to score functional pathways relevant to your goals and tailor interventions for peak microbiome and fitness alignment. Personalized nutrition advice is another pillar. By integrating 3-day food diaries with stool-derived data, InnerBuddies builds a robust database on how specific foods influence your gut microbiome and, in turn, athletic performance. This enables nutrition plans that optimize energy, recovery, and inflammation control. The platform also delivers personalized probiotics and prebiotics recommendations—selecting strains and fibers that align with your objectives and your unique gut profile. Consumers can access these insights directly through InnerBuddies' solutions, and brands can harness the same capabilities with our white-label offering. Whether you're an athlete chasing faster workouts or a brand aiming to empower customers with microbiome and fitness insights, InnerBuddies has you covered.
