Inside you lives an entire ecosystem — trillions of organisms that shape how you feel every day. Biom Atlas maps that hidden world and hands you the field guide to explore it.
Reasons to get curious about your gut
Symptoms do not prove that your microbiome is “out of balance.” A test can show what was present in one sample and give you a useful baseline — not diagnose why you feel a certain way.
Recurring Bloating or Gas
Bloating, gas, and irregular digestion can have many causes. A microbiome test can provide a composition baseline, but it cannot diagnose the cause of symptoms.
Digestion That Reacts to Foods
Microbes help process parts of food, but intolerance can involve many other factors. Results offer context, not a verdict on any single ingredient.
Recently Took Antibiotics
Antibiotics can shift gut microbial communities. A later baseline can show what is present, without claiming to measure recovery or prescribe treatment.
Gut Discomfort Tied to Stress
The gut and brain communicate in both directions. Researchers study that relationship, but a stool test cannot explain stress-related symptoms on its own.
A New Digestive Baseline
If persistent symptoms follow an illness, speak with a clinician. A wellness test may add educational context, not replace medical evaluation.
Curiosity About a Baseline
You don't need symptoms at all — many people simply want a starting map of their microbiome to track over time.
A thriving gut shapes how you live
Science continues to connect the gut microbiome to digestion, immunity, energy, and even mood. Understanding yours is the foundation for nourishing it.
~70%
of your immune activity is associated with the gut
A diverse microbiome is linked to a more resilient immune response throughout the year.
500+
species can call your gut home
Mapping who lives there is the first step to understanding your own inner ecosystem.
Gut–Brain
a two-way axis researchers study closely
The microbiome is connected to mood, focus, and how you handle daily stress.
From your home to your field guide
Order Your Kit
When launch opens, your Biom Atlas kit will ship with everything you need — no clinic visit required.
Collect at Home
A simple, guided at-home sample takes only a few minutes.
Mail It Back
Use the prepaid return mailer to send your sample to the lab.
Read Your Field Guide
Receive a lab-grounded field guide to the organisms within you — which bacteria are thriving, where your ecosystem could use support, and simple, everyday ways to help it flourish.
How your sample is processed
We believe you should know exactly what happens between your home and your field guide. Here is how a Biom Atlas sample becomes a map of your inner ecosystem.
Collected at home
You collect a tiny sample yourself with a simple, guided kit — no clinic visit and no appointment. The kit is designed to keep your sample stable on its way back to the lab.
Processed at a research-grade core lab
Your sample is processed at a research-grade sequencing core lab — the kind of facility research teams rely on — rather than handled in-house.
Sequenced with 16S rRNA
At launch, the lab will use 16S rRNA sequencing to identify bacterial communities in your sample and report them primarily at the genus level.
A note on honesty: 16S rRNA sequencing is a well-established research method for surveying which bacterial communities are present in a sample. It is not a clinical or diagnostic test, and Biom Atlas remains a wellness and educational tool.
Your report doesn't stop at data
Once your biome is sequenced, your personalized report turns insight into action — with everything you need to start nourishing your inner ecosystem.
Microbiome Insights
Clear, lab-grounded readings of which microbial communities are thriving or quiet in your gut — and what the research says about each.
Food Guidance
Eat-more, eat-less food guidance tailored to your unique microbiome — real meals, no guesswork.
Free Newsletter Access
Ongoing gut-health insights and seasonal guidance delivered to your inbox, on the house.
Member Pricing
