L'asse intestino-cervello: come la salute digestiva influenza l'umore, la concentrazione e le capacità cerebrali


Discover how the digestive-brain interaction shapes mood, focus, and brain power, and learn practical steps to optimize digestive health for sharper thinking and lasting well-being. The gut and brain engage in a two-way conversation through the gut-brain axis, with signals traveling via nerves, immune system messengers, and microbial metabolites. When the gut microbiome is well cared for, this digestive-brain interaction can support steadier mood, clearer focus, and more reliable cognitive energy. Simple lifestyle tweaks—like increasing fiber variety, enjoying fermented foods, staying hydrated, and prioritizing sleep—can boost this connection and sharpen everyday thinking. InnerBuddies brings the power of this science to life with a white-label Gut Health Operating System that companies can use to power their gut microbiome testing products. The platform centers on a comparable, easy-to-interpret journey for users and partners alike. A Gut Microbiome Health Index, scored from 0 to 100, provides a clear snapshot of overall gut health, anchored by an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. The system also surfaces the top 40 bacteria, showing how it compares against a healthy cohort in both abundances and the functional impact of those microbes. For deeper insight, bacterial metabolic functions are categorized and labeled as positive or negative, with practical benchmarks against the healthy cohort to guide dietary and lifestyle choices. If it’s targeting specific groups, the Target Group analysis digs into the pathways most relevant for Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and many other use cases, helping tailor recommendations to real-world goals. It can explore these capabilities in action through InnerBuddies’ microbiome test offering (InnerBuddies microbiome test). The system’s personalization engine translates data into actionable steps for the digestive-brain interaction it cares about. Personalized nutrition advice leverages three days of food diaries alongside stool-based insights, drawing from a large database that maps how individual foods influence the gut microbiome. The result is a tailored plan that supports mood regulation and cognitive performance, with targeted guidance on which probiotics strains and prebiotic foods are most likely to complement its unique microbiome. For teams looking to scale or customize further, InnerBuddies offers both consumer-facing gut test solutions and B2B capabilities so its brand can deliver the same precision and insight directly to customers (become a partner). If it’s ready to explore a guided path to sharper thinking and better well-being, it can start with a direct consumer experience or opt for ongoing support through a gut-health membership. The InnerBuddies Gut Health Membership provides ongoing insights, updates, and personalized recommendations built around its evolving digestive-brain interaction profile (Gut Health Membership). And for organizations that want to integrate this capability into their products or services, the B2B route offers a scalable, modular platform that can be white-labeled and tailored to its target audiences (partner opportunities).
