Is your gut microbiome balanced?

Two key factors — diversity and imbalance (dysbiosis) — help determine the health of your gut. Understanding these can give you valuable insights into your overall well-being.

Microbiome diversity 

Diversity refers to the variety of bacteria living in your gut and how evenly they’re spread out. A rich, diverse microbiome is a sign of good gut health. Low diversity has been linked to conditions like obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, metabolic problems, and autoimmune disorders. By measuring your gut diversity, you can better understand your health risks and take steps to improve them.

What is dysbiosis?

Dysbiosis occurs when the balance of gut bacteria shifts, allowing harmful microbes to outnumber the helpful ones. This imbalance can lead to digestive discomfort, inflammation, and other health concerns. Identifying dysbiosis is the first step toward making positive changes through diet, lifestyle, or treatment.

Check your gut health from home 

With the MicroHealth gut test, you can easily find out whether your microbiome is balanced or if signs of imbalance are present — all from the comfort of your home.

What happens when your gut microbiome is out of balance?

When the gut microbiome is disrupted, it can cause a range of health issues. Common problems include bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. Over time, an imbalanced gut can also raise the risk of chronic illnesses, weaken the immune system, and trigger ongoing inflammation — all of which can affect your overall health.

The gut doesn’t just influence the body; it also impacts the mind. An unhealthy microbiome has been linked to mood changes, anxiety, and stress. Keeping your gut in balance is key to both physical and mental well-being.

In fact, around half of people in the Netherlands experience digestive issues, highlighting how widespread these problems are.

The MicroHealth microbiome test uses advanced shotgun metagenomic DNA sequencing to deliver an in-depth analysis of your gut health. In just three steps, we extract, sequence, and compare the DNA of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa from your stool sample against one of the largest microbiome databases in Europe.

This cutting-edge process allows us to identify over 5,000 species and measure their levels in your gut. The result? Reliable, science-based insights that give you a complete picture of your gut

ecosystem. With this data, we help define your personalized healthy lifestyle plan — whether to maintain your current gut health or improve areas of imbalance.
