Lifestyle Recommendations - Key Takeaways
Nutrition: Specific foods and nutrients that can increase or decrease microbial abundance.
Lifestyle: How sleep, exercise, smoking, hygiene, and stress impact microbial abundance.
Supplement: Supplements that can increase or decrease specific microbial abundance
High-contact coring system - greater DNA capture
Maximizing contact throughout entire 3D structure
Inside of stool has different distribution of microbes than surface
Greater DNA = more accurate results
10-12 points of contact as opposed to one scoop
Whole Genome Sequencing - Greater Accuracy & Precision
Looking at whole genome/genetic sequence
Identifying Bacteria, Virus, Fungi and Protists
Unbiased results
Microbiome Mapping - More Functional Understanding
Species richness/diversity
Comparison of microbiome to a healthy population
Abundance of pathogens and keystone species
Dysbiosis indicators
Explores over 20+ functions of the microbiome
