The test
The full picture, read plainly.
We sequence your sample and map your gut’s composition — which bacteria are there, in what proportion, and how diverse the community is. Then we turn it into food-first moves you can actually make. Atlas AI answers the questions you’d rather not Google.
- 16S rRNA sequencing — genus-level, run by a research-grade lab
- A food plan built on your results — more of this, less of that, and why
- Discreet by default — plain packaging, private results
A digestive wellness test for educational purposes — not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.
Test. Then eat for it.
Every test includes food guidance built on your results — what to eat more of, what to ease off, and why.
