Why does one person lose weight more easily than another?
Your gut microbiome can be a piece of the puzzle.
A microbiome test shows which bacterial groups are present, the balance between them, and how active important groups are.

The results provide starting points for tailoring diet, fiber, and lifestyle more personally to a healthy and more manageable weight.
Not just eating less, but better understanding how your gut ecosystem interacts with your food.
So that your gut ecosystem works for you, instead of against you.

Work with your gut microbiome for a healthy weight
Losing weight is not just about eating less or exercising more. The way your body processes food also plays an important role. By gaining insight into your gut microbiome, you discover how to better tailor your diet to your personal metabolism.

What is the gut microbiome?
Billions of microorganisms live in your gut, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Together, they form your gut microbiome.
This community helps with the digestion of food, the production of certain nutrients, and the support of your immune system.
Your gut microbiome is personal:
The composition varies from person to person and is influenced by, among other things, diet, lifestyle, medication use, and your environment.
Why would you want insight into your gut microbiome?
Research shows that differences in the gut microbiome are associated with overweight and metabolic disturbances. This does not mean that your gut microbiome alone determines your weight: diet, exercise, sleep, hormones, and genetic predisposition also play a role.
A gut microbiome analysis maps the composition of your gut microbiome. This provides additional insights to take a more targeted look at your diet and lifestyle, in conjunction with your personal situation and goals.
The gut axes
The connection between your gut, weight, and metabolism
Your intestines are constantly in contact with the rest of your body.
The gut microbiome plays a role in your metabolism: the processes by which your body processes nutrients and uses energy.
Gut bacteria, for example, help break down dietary fiber.
This produces substances involved in the communication between your intestines and other organs.
For example, your gut microbiome is connected to more than just your digestion.
