What is microbiome testing?
The intestinal microbiome of the gut plays a role in common health conditions. Microbiome testing is a useful diagnostic tool using genetic sequencing, which helps to identify the proper balance needed to correct and improve gut health. Using a stool sample, bioinformatic analysis is used to compare a patients microbiome with that of a healthy individual. The gut report will reveal the composition, balance and levels of bacteria and fungi inside of the gut. This useful tool will provide additional information to assist patients and doctors to develop a specific plan to help support digestive health. Not only will diverse and robust microbiome may help support digestive health, but also brain health, mood and overall health.
