Your microbiome contains over 40 trillion microorganisms. This means that 98 percent of the cells in your body aren’t yours. That’s right, you’re more bacteria than human cells. And in order to live a healthy life you need to become familiar with the aliens in your gut; this includes feeding them, nurturing them, and creating the ideal living environment. Viome created the Gut Microbiome Testing Kit to help you determine your microbial balance/imbalance, to help you understand what the gut microorganisms are actually doing, and to educate you on what to eat in order to create a healthy gut ecosystem that will benefit total body health.

Gut Biomes: Disease And Your Health

Every few years a new diet comes out claiming to have all the answers to everyone’s weight and health issues. After the media attention dies down, and people start to pushback on the various dangers associated with the latest diet fad, a new one quickly takes its place. What most doctors and media influencers won’t tell the everyday person is that no one diet will support everyone’s health needs. Just as everyone is unique in their thoughts and lifestyle, so are our bodies and how we interact with food on a cellular level. The real answer lies in your gut.

Most microbes in your gut can produce molecules that benefit you, harm you, or have no impact on your health. Your gut microbiome is responsible for your mood, immune system, and overall health.  Traditional medicine gives the brain ownership for how our bodies function, but studies are starting to show that all things begin with the gut — essentially, making the gut the “first brain”. Before vitamins, nutrients, and mineral make it to their destination, they go from mouth to stomach, where nutrients are broken down and transferred to where they are needed. If the living conditions in your gut aren’t ideal, nutrients won’t make it where they need to go and your body won’t function properly.

A poor gut biome may be the underlying culpri in many illnesses, including:

  • Obesity — Obesity, metabolic syndrome and gastrointestinal disease are all influenced by our gut microbiome.
  • Autoimmune Disease — Our microbiome controls our immune system more than we realize.
  • Diet — What we eat alters our microbiome faster than expected.
  • Diabetes — Our microbiome is associated with both type II diabetes and the complications that come with it.
  • Mental Health — Our gut microbiome has been shown to influence depression, cognition, behavior, and neural development.
  • Parkinson’s Disease — Gut microbiota have been linked to Parkinson’s disease and its motor symptoms.
  • Heart Disease — Certain bacteria have been linked to atherosclerosis, an all-too-common heart condition.
  • Alzheimer’s Disease — Microbes are involved in the development of Alzheimer’s pathology.
  • Colorectal Cancer — Shifts in the makeup of our gut microbiome are associated with colorectal cancer.

The Viome: Gut Microbiome Testing Kit is here to be the one solution anyone can use to promote total body health and functionality all from the convenience of a phone app.

The Science of Viome

Viome uses a unique analysis known as metatranscriptome to discover what’s happening inside your gut and provide you a personalized action plan to fix it. Transcriptome refers to the set of all RNA molecules in one cell or a population of cells while metatranscriptome refers to the group of interacting organisms or species. By looking at each individual organism, sequencing all of the RNA in your sample, and most importantly understanding how they interact with each other, Viome creates a personalized nutrition plan, which once adhered to, provides an environment where your gut biome can flourish — resulting in a healthier life for you

Viome uses advanced technology developed for National Security at the Los Alamos National Lab to identify species and strains of all organisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, phages, yeast, parasites, etc.) in your gut. It then shows how active these organisms are and analyzes whether they are producing nutrients or toxins from the food you eat. The information is then fed into a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence engine, which then recommends the exact foods you should be eating and the ones you should be avoiding; the end goal being to keep your gut in balance which will then keep your mind and body in balance.
