Announcing Viome’s New Food Sensitivity Intelligence Test

Reducing inflammation levels in the body is arguably one of the best things you can do for your overall wellness. Food sensitivities can raise inflammation levels. If you continue to eat the foods your body has a sensitivity to, you could be contributing to inflammatory processes throughout the body. Because symptoms range from subtle to severe, food sensitivities are often overlooked and misdiagnosed. Not to mention, it can be frustrating, inconvenient, and time-consuming to go on an elimination diet on its own. Elimination diets are a powerful tool you can use to pinpoint your ideal diet, and food sensitivity testing can help you have a more precise approach.

Are We On Our Way To Personalized Medicine? Scientists Dive Into the Impact of the Gut Microbiome On Drug Response

Although many factors do drive how we metabolize drugs, scientists are diving deeper into how our gut microbiome may be contributing to our responses. With new research continuously unmasking the complex relationship between our food and our gut microbiome, scientists are beginning to theorize there may be more going on with our drug metabolism, too. The microorganisms that thrive in our GI system may be impacting how drugs are broken down, triggering changes in how these drugs react in our body. This field of research, called “pharmacomicrobiomics,” seeks to understand how individuals respond differently to drugs and determine potential efficacy and side-effect changes based on interactions with our gut microbiota.

Your Microbiome Can Impact Your Glycemic Response

In Viome’s latest breakthrough clinical research study, we found that the glycemic response to foods varies greatly based on each person’s unique gut microbiome. In this scientific paper published by our researchers, we describe the clinical study in which we compare how different foods affect blood glucose on an individual level.
