Resident Microbiota: Meet the Tiny Inhabitants Shaping Your Health


Meet your resident microbiota—the tiny inhabitants shaping digestion, immunity, and mood. This diverse community lives in your gut and quietly influences how you break down food, respond to infections, and even how you feel day to day. Nurturing your resident microbiota isn’t about a single magic food; it’s about steady habits that support balance, diversity, and resilience. With the right insights, you can tune your daily choices to foster a thriving microbial ecosystem that supports your overall health. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that helps companies power their gut microbiome testing products and, importantly, centers the resident microbiota in personalized health. The platform features a Gut Microbiome Health Index, a 0–100 score that signals microbiome health based on an exclusive collaboration with EAFIT University in Colombia. It also presents Bacteria abundances for a top 40 panel, showing how you compare against a healthy cohort, and Bacteria functions categorized as positive or negative so you can see which metabolic pathways matter for your gut. A Target Group analysis dives into functional pathways relevant for Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and more. InnerBuddies microbiome test is a great place to start exploring these insights. Beyond testing, InnerBuddies empowers with personalized nutrition and lifestyle guidance. By analyzing 3-day food diaries alongside stool data, the platform builds a large database on how specific foods influence your resident microbiota, delivering personalized dietary recommendations tailored to your unique gut profile. The system also offers personalized probiotics and prebiotics advice, matching strains to your objectives and your microbiome’s functional landscape. This end-to-end approach is available to both B2B partners and consumers, with options you can explore on the product and subscription channels: InnerBuddies Gut Health Membership.
