Stool Test for Mental Health: How Your Gut Health Impacts Mood and Anxiety


Understanding how a stool test links gut health to mood and anxiety starts with the gut-brain axis. A stool test mental health insights reveal how gut microbes influence neurotransmitters, inflammation, and stress responses that shape mood and anxiety. By comparing your microbiome to a healthy reference, you can see how imbalances may be impacting mental well-being and what steps to take. InnerBuddies' white-label Gut Health Operating System powers these insights with a modular platform that brands and clinics can use to build their own gut testing products. The Gut Microbiome Health Index provides a score from 0 to 100 to summarize overall gut health, backed by an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. We also show your Bacteria abundances, including a top 40 list, so you can compare your mix to a healthy cohort. Our Bacteria functions categorize metabolic activities as positive or negative, revealing which pathways may support or hinder mental well-being. Target Group analysis digs deeper into how the microbiome functions for specific audiences, including topics related to stress resilience, aging, endurance, skin health, and more. In tandem with this, personalized nutrition advice uses your 3-day food diaries and stool results to tailor dietary guidance that supports gut health and mood. We also offer personalized probiotics and prebiotics recommendations to align with your goals and your unique gut microbiome.
