What is gut biome testing?

Your gut biome contains trillions of viruses, parasites, fungi, and bacteria that live together in harmony when you’re healthy. The biome helps with digestion and keeps bad bacteria under control.

However, it can be difficult to understand what’s good for your gut health and what isn’t, which can lead to an imbalance in your biome. This imbalance can trigger a range of acute and chronic health conditions.

The DNA Diet Club offers gut biome testing services as part of their diagnostic evaluation for chronic pain and other persistent health issues that can result from gut biome dysfunction.

Using the results of your gut biome testing, the providers create a specialized diet plan you follow to find lasting relief from chronic pain and other disruptive symptoms.

When should I consider gut biome testing?

You should schedule gut biome testing at The DNA Diet Club if you’re unable to manage chronic pain or disease on your own. You may also benefit from gut biome testing if you’d like to reduce or stop taking medications to keep your condition under control.

The providers can customize a diet plan based on your specific gut biome and DNA to address acute symptoms like bloating, poor digestion, and occasional stomach pain. They also use gut biome testing for chronic conditions like:

• Diabetes
• Weight loss
• Chronic fatigue
• Chronic pain
• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

To measure the microorganisms in your gastrointestinal tract, the providers use a sample of your stool. The stool sample provides information about your gut health and which microorganisms could be causing your symptoms.

What happens after gut biome testing?

After your testing is complete, you get customized resources from The DNA Diet Club. The diet plan includes:

• 1 gut biome test kit
• 1 DNA test kit
• 45-minute medical consultation
• Personal health coach guidance

You also get personalized grocery lists to make food shopping easier and can access specific recipes through a smartphone app. You work with your personal health coach for the duration of your program, so you have the support you need to optimize your health.
