Where we focus for this test
The gut microbiome
As the largest micro-ecosystem in the human body, your gut microbiome is in a symbiotic relationship with you as its "host". A great deal of research has produced evidence that metabolites produced in your gut microbiome play a key role in maintaining balance and overall health for your entire body.
When it comes to microbes, it's not just about which microbes are there, but how they're behaving and the impact it has on your health! Your diet and lifestyle can often be the cause behind poor microbiome health. Our Gut Intelligence Test is unique in that it not only identifies and quantifies all microorganisms, including human, plant, and phage RNA viruses in your gut, but also examines their activity within your gut. Our analysis takes into account 400 pathways to provide deeper insights into ways to optimize gut health through targeted foods, supplements, and biotics.
Harmful microorganisms can cause infection or disrupt normal patterns in health. However, many commensal microbes within our body can act in beneficial or harmful ways depending on their environment (health, stress level, and access to different nutrients). This is why we rather classify microbial activities as either harmful or beneficial rather than specific microbes themselves. Like humans, whether you are bad depends on your actions, which can be influenced by the environment you live in.
The oral microbiome
The oral microbiome, the second largest micro-ecosystem in your body, performs vital functions to help keep our mouths healthy, including the transportation of ionic minerals from saliva to the surface of teeth to aid in remineralization, carrying molecular oxygen to the gums and soft tissue, and eliminating free radicals.
Typical signs associated with an unhealthy oral microbiome may include ‘biofilm’ formation on the teeth. Also known as plaque, biofilm acts as a cityscape for colonizing bacteria. Excessive plaque formation can contribute to an accumulation of pathogens and toxic byproducts that can cause inflammation in and around the gums. This may appear as bleeding or easily damaged gums from brushing or flossing. Discomfort, excessive bleeding, and even sores inside the mouth may all be pointing toward issues of an imbalance in the oral microbiome.
Yes, bacteria in the mouth are normal, and most bacteria benefit our health. But just like the gut, an imbalance of the oral microbiome can negatively affect our health and not just our teeth but our whole body.
Cellular function
When your cells are functioning optimally, they produce enough energy to sustain your needs and are efficiently "cleaning up" cellular waste, like free radicals. When cells lack the nutrition they need, they can't keep up with the metabolic demands of the body.
Our cells are very high-functioning machines, capable of healing and repairing old parts. This occurs naturally throughout the lifespan of a cell as performing its function sometimes results in damage. For example, organelles like the mitochondria create energy in the form of ATP from our food. As a byproduct, harmful free radicals occur, causing oxidative damage. However, our cells naturally produce glutathione, the master antioxidant, that is particularly effective at neutralizing these free radicals. Cellular aging occurs when too much oxidative stress is created and our cells aren’t capable of neutralizing their effects. Consequently, our mitochondria become damaged, making generating energy more difficult. Over time, this can affect the overall health of a cell, and make it more difficult to repair. In addition, chronic oxidative stress can begin to harm other parts of the cell, such as our DNA. When our genetic code is broken down, a cell can no longer repair itself or replicate. As this occurs to many different cells, our body slowly loses the capacity to create new, youthful cells to replace the old ones, resulting in cellular and bodily aging.

Biological Age
Eating the wrong foods for our body, including foods we believe to be healthy, along with lifestyle factors such as stress, our environment, and illness, can make it difficult for our body's health to remain resilient as we age. Biological aging is characterized by underlying factors resulting from your body's inability to maintain healthy functions. Your Biological Age number you receive with your Full Body Intelligence Test will reveal whether your body is aging faster or slower than your chronological age based on an analysis of your gut microbiome, oral microbiome, and cellular health.

Heart & Metabolic Health | Kidney-Heart Health
The kidneys impact heart health through their central role in the regulation of blood pressure as well as their ability to filter blood to remove metabolites that can injure your blood vessels and other tissues. For example, metabolites like homocysteine are produced by our cells as a part of normal metabolism but can cause oxidative stress if not recycled into beneficial glutathione (the master antioxidant) or filtered from the blood by the kidneys. If your test results determine you need support, your supplement recommendations may include vitamins and minerals that aid in homocysteine breakdown and blood pressure management.

Why test with Viome's gene expression testing
True personalization based on RNA sequencing technology
Navigating the world of diet and nutrition can be overwhelming, but with our proprietary RNA-sequencing technology, you no longer have to rely on guesswork to determine what works best for your body. Our cutting-edge gene expression analysis provides insight into your microbiome and cellular health functions, allowing us to understand your unique needs and distinguish which foods, supplements, biotics, and other ingredients will have the most impact on you as an individual.
How our tests compare with other at-home tests
While DNA can provide information about family ancestry, it cannot explain current health symptoms. DNA remains constant throughout a person's life, and as a result, food recommendations based solely on DNA do not change, even if an individual experiences weight changes or health issues. The root cause of health imbalances is often gene expression, or RNA, which can change over time. Viome analyzes both microbial and human cell gene expressions to offer personalized food and supplement recommendations to help bring the body back into balance and improve overall health and well-being.
Most microbiome testing companies, unlike Viome, are focused on microbial DNA and can tell you what organisms are in your gut, but they cannot tell you what these organisms are actually doing inside of your body, or if they are even dead or alive. For example, the same organism can be beneficial in one person and harmful in another, depending on that individual’s unique gut ecosystem.Viome, on the other hand, uses metatranscriptomics to sequence the RNA of each person's entire microbial community, providing a complete view of the presence of live microorganisms and their activities, such as producing harmful toxins or beneficial nutrients. Unlike other gut tests that only examine microbial DNA using metagenomics, Viome's technology evaluates functional expressed genes to determine the impact of various microbial communities on a person's unique gut ecosystem.
Quiz-based recommendations are limited by basing conclusions on general information such as age, sex, weight, lifestyle, and health goals. However, there is no one-size-fits-all solution for optimal health and wellness. When it comes to your body’s unique biochemistry, it takes fine-tuning and precise variation. At Viome, we believe the best way to determine the right food and supplements is to listen to your body's specific needs. Inconsistent results in your health goals or harmful effects can occur when consuming the wrong 'healthy' foods or supplements. Precise, personalized recommendations are necessary to avoid ineffective and potentially harmful choices.
- Food sensitivity tests simply measure antibodies to foods. Foods that show up on your food sensitivity test results may actually be good for you in reality. An antibody to a specific food often appears when you are eating a lot of that food and suffering from a leaky gut. Leaky gut happens when there is damage to the lining of the gut, making it more permeable to substances that should not go into your blood. This can trigger your immune system to make antibodies in response to those substances. Food sensitivity reactions are Immunoglobulin A (IgA), M (IgM), and G (IgG)-mediated immune responses, causing inflammation of the gastrointestinal lining with symptoms occurring up to 48-72 hours after exposure to the trigger.
- Allergic reactions are immediate immune system responses mediated by Immunoglobulin E (IgE), which can be life-threatening. Viome does not test for IgE, which is often associated with anaphylactic reactions. Food allergies should be overseen and managed by an experienced physician.
