Know your gut baseline. Improve it. Track your progress.
InnerBuddies analyzed customers in its database who completed multiple microbiome tests over time. The result: most customers showed measurable improvement in one or more gut-health modules. This is real-life data, not from a clinical trial where the interventions are heavily managed.
The 6 gut-health modules we tracked
- Track your Gut Health Index, diversity, bacteria and microbial pathways
- Receive personalised food, supplement and lifestyle recommendations
- Use follow-up tests to see whether your gut health is moving in the right direction
This is not just a one-time report. It is a starting point for understanding, improving and tracking your gut health over time.
Based on InnerBuddies longitudinal customer data. Results vary per person. This data is observational and not a controlled clinical trial.

Gut Health Membership – Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about the InnerBuddies gut microbiome membership, subscription cycles, testing frequency, and personalized gut health tracking.
InnerBuddies Gut Health Membership
What is the InnerBuddies gut health membership?
The InnerBuddies gut health membership is an ongoing microbiome testing subscription that allows you to track your gut bacteria, microbiome diversity, and personalized nutrition recommendations over time. Instead of a single snapshot, membership provides continuous insight into how your microbiome changes and improves.
How often do I receive a microbiome test with the membership?
Depending on your membership plan, you receive microbiome test kits at regular intervals throughout the year. This allows you to monitor changes in your gut bacteria, track progress, and understand how diet, lifestyle, and supplements influence your microbiome over time.
Why is repeated microbiome testing important?
The gut microbiome changes with diet, lifestyle, medication, and environment. Longitudinal microbiome testing helps identify trends, track improvements in bacterial diversity and metabolic pathways, and provides deeper insight than a single microbiome test.
What happens after each microbiome test cycle?
After each test, you receive an updated microbiome report, including your gut health score, bacterial diversity, functional pathways, and personalized nutrition and supplement recommendations based on your latest microbiome profile.
Can I cancel my gut health membership anytime?
Yes. You can cancel or manage your microbiome membership according to the terms outlined in your account. This ensures flexibility while still allowing you to benefit from continuous gut health monitoring.
The scientific rationale of Longitudinal Gut Microbiome Health Tracking
Is this a gut microbiome subscription for long-term health tracking?
Yes. The membership is designed for long-term microbiome monitoring, allowing you to track how your gut bacteria evolve and how your personalized recommendations improve your gut health over time.
What is the difference between a single microbiome test and membership?
A single microbiome test provides a snapshot of your gut bacteria at one moment. Membership allows continuous testing, progress tracking, and more precise personalized recommendations based on changes in your microbiome.
How does membership improve personalized gut health recommendations?
Repeated microbiome testing allows more accurate personalization because recommendations adapt to your evolving microbiome composition, bacterial diversity, and metabolic pathways over time.
Is microbiome testing comparable between test cycles?
Yes. Using standardized sequencing and analysis methods ensures that results are comparable across test cycles, enabling reliable tracking of microbiome diversity and functional changes.
How long does it take to see microbiome improvements?
Microbiome changes vary per person, but improvements in diversity and microbial balance can often be observed within a few months when following personalized nutrition and lifestyle guidance consistently.
Benefits of Longitudinal Gut Microbiome Health Tracking
What does the membership include besides test kits?
Membership includes microbiome test kits, access to your online dashboard, updated gut health insights, and personalized nutrition and supplement recommendations based on your microbiome results.
Is the gut health membership based on scientific microbiome research?
Yes. The membership uses validated DNA sequencing and microbiome analysis methods widely applied in scientific research, combined with data-driven interpretation to generate actionable gut health insights.
Who should choose a microbiome membership instead of a single test?
Membership is ideal for individuals who want to actively improve their gut health, monitor microbiome changes over time, and receive continuously updated personalized recommendations.
Does the membership help track microbiome diversity over time?
Yes. One of the main benefits of membership is tracking microbiome diversity and functional pathways across multiple test cycles to understand long-term gut health trends.
Is this gut microbiome membership available in Europe?
Yes. InnerBuddies provides microbiome testing and membership services across Europe, using certified laboratories and secure data handling aligned with privacy regulations.
