Since the discovery of bacterial communities living in symbiosis with the human bodies, over 20,000 research studies have been conducted to understand this relationship. The Atlas Microbiome Test (Ohmygut®) was developed based on the results of this research. Clear links have been established for many aspects of our health, like microbiome protection from specific diseases, immunity, vitamin production, diet and nutrition.
Take a look inside the Atlas Microbiome Test with our head nutritionist, Liza Hilman. Discover who might benefit from testing, what you will learn and how this can help you optimise your gut and overall health.
Disease protection
The ratios of different bacteria in your gut can influence your level of protection from obesity, diabetes type II, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and coronary heart disease.
Microbiome diversity
The diversity of your microbiome assesses the number of species present and their ability to synthesise vitamins and butyrate, an important short-chain fatty acid that helps maintain the integrity of your gut lining.
Food recommendations
The test establishes a personalised list of recommended foods that can balance your microbiome.
Vitamin synthesis
Gut bacteria produce vitamins and may influence nutrient levels in the body.
Dietary fibre
This test evaluates your gut bacteria’s ability to break down dietary fibre, which is essential for microbiome and overall health.
Butyrate
The microbiome breaks down dietary fibre in butyrate, an essential short-chain fatty acid that maintains the gut lining and prevents inflammation.
MICROBIOME TYPE
Most people’s microbiomes fall into one of 3 categories.
BACTERIAL DIVERSITY
Determines how resistant your microbiome is to negative factors.
‘NATIONALITY’
People in different places have different microbiomes. This test shows what nationality your diet is most similar to.
The microbiome is strongly influenced by external factors like eating habits, antibiotics, illness and more.
This also means that you can strengthen it by modifying your diet. For the best results, we recommend doing this test at regular intervals and after any important changes in your lifestyle, which will allow you to follow up and make positive changes for your overall well-being.
