Your gut microbiome plays a crucial role in overall health, influencing everything from digestion and immunity to mental health and disease prevention. WiseMed's advanced gut microbiome testing provides detailed insights into your intestinal bacterial composition, helping guide personalized treatment strategies.

Understanding the Gut Microbiome

The human gut microbiome consists of trillions of microorganisms living in your digestive tract. These bacteria, fungi, and other microbes significantly impact:

• Digestion and nutrient absorption
• Immune system function
• Mental health and mood regulation
• Inflammation levels
• Disease susceptibility
• Weight management
