Your Gut Health Matters

Increasingly, scientists are finding that the gut plays a critical role in performance and overall health. Gut health impacts digestive health, the immune system, brain health, emotional balance, and energetic efficiency.

When your gut health is out of balance, the effect is more than just a stomach ache—it changes how you feel, how you sleep, how you recover, how you manage stress, how much energy you have, and even the types of foods you crave.

Testing your gut provides critical insight into how your lifestyle choices and habits are affecting your internal health.

How does your gut microbiome get damaged?

Slide32

Processed Foods

Unfortunately, processed foods, high-sugar products, and a lack of diversity in our diet damages the gut microbiome. 

Slide33

Antibiotics

Modern medicine and antibiotics are important tools. Unfortunately, they can also damage the gut microbiome. 

Slide34

Stress

The physical and mental stresses we endure each day produce chemicals that take a toll on the gut microbiome. 

What exactly is the gut microbiome?

what_is_health_microbiome2

The gut and the gut microbiome is everything from your mouth to your colon—entry to exit—and all the critters that live in there: bacteria, viruses, fungi, and cells that live in your digestive tract. Diversity is key.

Testing your gut provides critical insight into how your lifestyle choices and habits are affecting your internal health.

But the type of data about your gut matters.

The Ixcela test uses a pinprick of blood (about the size of a quarter) to measure how well the bacteria in your gut are performing their jobs and creating the various chemicals your body needs. Ixcela is looking at small compounds in the blood called metabolites. 

Unfortunately, stool tests only assess what comes out. DNA tests only show what your body is predisposed to based on your genes. The Ixcela gut microbiome test takes a snapshot of your gut's current performance and then provides specific nutrition, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations for how to improve it.
