Your gut microbiome plays a critical role in optimal digestion, nutrient metabolism, your energy, how your body detoxes harmful chemicals and toxins, maintenance of structural integrity of the gut mucosal barrier, healthy skin and protecting you from infection.
The Gut microbiome participates in GI processes as well as immune, metabolic, and neurological functions. Owing to its key effects on various bodily processes, a change in the gut microbiome can modify the host’s disease risks. There appears to be a reciprocal relationship with age, wherein the gut microbiome changes as one ages, and modulation in itself can also lead to aging. A shift or dysbiosis in the gut microbiome can lead to local and systemic inflammation, which results in accelerated aging.
Our Gut Zoomer Test assesses a wide range of gut micro-organisms, gut metabolites, and relevant digestive and inflammatory markers which will give insights into your gut health.
