OR… Are you an athlete looking to optimize your nutrition for athletic performance?
Many times, the conditions above can be remedied by finding out what foods work best with your microbiome make-up. Ultimately this can be a two step process. By first finding out what bacteria and virus strains are present, specific foods can be avoided, limited or increased to provided an immediate impact. Next, by avoiding, reducing and increasing certain foods, it can help to reduce the number of bacteria and viruses that aren’t so ideal as part of the micro biome make-up. Certain foods actually feed certain bacteria and viruses. Shutting off their food source can help to reduce and/or eliminate them. Ultimately, this process can have a profound impact on your health and overall well-being. While the above conditions can have varying root causes, I’ve personally seen every single one of the above conditions improve or completely be eliminated by strictly adhering to the gut micro biome test result recommendations. It’s not to say that it’s a cure all, but for many, the results and recommended course of action can be life changing.
From an athletic performance standpoint, I can’t tell you how beneficial the information you receive through gut microbiome testing can be. If you want to increase your energy, stamina and overall strength, knowing exactly what foods work best with your unique body is critical. I myself work in the CrossFit space and have seen the incredible performance improvements that have resulted from implementing the recommendations from microbiome testing.

The link above will take you to three different test options. I recommend the Gut Intelligence Test as a starting point. If you want to see additional markers, you can feel free to order the Full Body Intelligence Test. The Full Body Intelligence Test offers insight into your:
– Gut Microbiome: Your gut microbiome is home to trillions of microbes that have a direct influence on everything from your mood to how you digest foods and even how your immune system responds to infections or allergens.
Your nutrition recommendations are designed to optimize your digestion, strengthen gut lining, and boost richness & microbiome diversity.
Includes insights relating to:
• Nutrient absorption
• Beneficial & harmful microbial activities
• Intestinal barrier health
• Signatures of inflammation in the gut
– Cellular and Energy Efficiency: When cells lack the nutrition they need, they can’t keep up with the metabolic demands of the body, which leads to a loss of function and is the earliest measurable indicator of aging and health decline.
Your nutrition recommendations are designed to kickstart your cellular repair and cellular support processes.
Includes insights relating to:
• Aging of your cells
• Cellular stress
• Cellular inflammation
• Mitochondrial health
– Oral Health: Oral health impacts systems beyond the mouth and is intricately connected to your cardiovascular, immune, bone, and brain health.
Your nutrition recommendations are designed to rebalance your oral microbiome and lower the risk of cavities, bad breath, and leaky gums.
Includes insights relating to:
• Activities of microbes in the mouth that contribute to gum inflammation
• Activities of microbial pathways that cause bad breath
• Microbial activities that lead to cavities and tooth decay
– Inflammation Response: Prolonged inflammation due to factors such as poor diet, increased stress, and environmental toxins promote health decline.
Your nutrition recommendations are designed to support your body’s response to stress and immune tolerance.
Includes insights relating to:
• Overall balance of your body’s pro & anti-inflammatory activity
• Immune system’s ability to address inflammation
• Cellular functions under stress
• Microbial stress
– Brain and Cognitive Health: The gut microbiome aids in the development of our brain and nervous system as well as the management of neurological functions.
Your nutrition recommendations are designed to boost brain health and functions that support your cognitive and mood health.
Includes insights relating to:
• Serotonin production-assisting pathways
• Microbial activities which contribute to the production of GABA
• Activities that might negatively impact focus
• Activities that impact your body’s pH balance
–Immune System Health: A healthy immune system is essential for fighting off outside invaders like viruses, bacteria, and fungi, neutralizing environmental toxins, and preventing changes within cells that lead to a decline in biological functions.
Your nutrition recommendations are designed to help support your body’s alarm system and repair mechanism.
Includes insights relating to:
• Overall immunity
• Body’s preparedness to fight off bad viruses & bacteria
• Body’s ability to clear toxins
• Manage oxidative stress
–Heart and Cardiometabolic Health: While many people simply think of managing their cholesterol to improve their cardiovascular health, in reality, many factors are at play, including oxidative stress, endothelial function, kidney function, and vitamin and mineral status.Your nutrition recommendations are designed to optimize functions related to your heart health and include
• Indicators of high oxidative stress
• Activities that promote inflammation
• Vascular health
• Cholesterol metabolism
–Biological Age: Assess the activities of your gut microbiome, your cells, and your oral microbiome to determine how well you are aging at a cellular level compared with other people your age. Your nutrition recommendations are designed to help you optimize specific biological functions responsible for how you’re aging internally.
What’s super cool about this type of testing is you can often save thousands in medical bills and trips to the doctor’s office that still leaves you without a real solution to your specific symptoms. The test is shipped to your home and includes a prepaid package to mail the stool sample back to Viome’s testing facility. You’ll receive your results within just a couple of weeks. Viome offers a great app that you can access 24/7 with your recommendations.
I offer a variety of programs that help you interpret and implement all the Viome testing results and recommendations.
Order your test today and reach out any time to get started on a path to improved health or reach out first and I’ll walk you through the testing process.
