You carry roughly as many microbial cells as human cells. They produce neurotransmitters, train your immune system, regulate inflammation, and synthesise vitamins. They also drive or block recovery from almost every chronic condition.
Most clinics test the microbiome with 16S rRNA sequencing, which identifies bacteria only at the genus level. Our shotgun metagenomic test reads every species, every functional pathway, every inflammatory marker, the resolution actually needed to intervene.
