Viome discount code. Know your gut microbiome.

There's a lot of buzz about the Viome gut sequencing test lately. It gives a thorough view of the active microbes in the gut, including bacteria, archaea, fungi/yeast, viruses and parasites. The test reads the metabolome - the metabolites (ie: short-chain fatty acids, etc.) all of these sassy bugs are producing and how they may be affecting your health. The test then makes food and supplement recommendations based on these findings. This is where I still remain skeptical. I'm

In brief, i had little to none of the most common protective bacteria (see below). The standard gut test from uBiome: Interestingly, in the chart below, you'll also see that despite having low numbers of the best-known beneficial bacteria, my diversity was pretty high (which is good). I later learned that low bifi

Yeah, you know, those really important protective bacteria that live (or are supposed to) in our guts and keep our immune systems functioning properly, keep the potential uglies like candida in check, and produce metabolic byproducts or "postbiotics" (like butyrate) that benefit our
