Latest Test Findings

  • 01

    ZOE Metabolic Study

    Continuous glucose monitoring paired with stool sequencing provides the most comprehensive postprandial response data.

  • 02

    Viome RNA Sequencing

    Transcriptomic analysis reveals active microbial gene expression rather than just presence.

  • 03

    Thorne Wipe Technology

    The patented wipe collection method significantly reduces sampling errors and user friction.

Clinical Protocols

Evidence-based approaches to common gastrointestinal dysfunctions. Based on peer-reviewed literature, not internet hearsay.

SIBO Diagnosis & Management

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth requires specific breath testing protocols and targeted antimicrobial interventions.

  • Lactulose vs. Glucose breath tests
  • Rifaximin efficacy rates
  • Low FODMAP integration

Intestinal Permeability

Demystifying "leaky gut" through the lens of zonulin markers, tight junction integrity, and verifiable immunological responses.

  • Zonulin pathway mechanics
  • L-Glutamine dosing protocols
  • Identifying dietary triggers

Probiotics & Prebiotics

CFU counts are meaningless without strain specificity. Learn which specific bacterial strains have demonstrated clinical efficacy.

  • Strain-specific research
  • Survivability in gastric acid
  • Prebiotic fiber types

Not all testing methodologies are equal.

16S rRNA sequencing identifies genus-level bacteria. Shotgun metagenomics identifies species and strains. Metatranscriptomics (RNA) shows what those microbes are actively doing. If you pay $300 for a test, you need to know which technology they use.
