Gut boosters and gut suppressors
ZOE shows members which “gut booster” foods may nourish their specific beneficial microbes, and the “gut suppressor” foods to eat less often.
Gut bug clusters and health markers
ZOE members don’t just get a gut health score — they get a window into the powerful “gut bug clusters” shaping their health. ZOE has identified 4 key gut bug clusters (see above).
Groups of gut microbes
Our scientists have identified distinct clusters of gut microbes that are linked to key areas of metabolic health, including inflammation, fat distribution and heart health.
“Good” and “bad” gut bugs
Your microbiome score measures the balance of 50 "good" and 50 "bad" gut bacteria identified by ZOE scientists for their connection to key positive and negative health markers. It’s based on advanced DNA sequencing of your gut microbiome.
