Who is HelloTummy?

We are committed to providing you with access to accurate and transparent gut health data that is affordable and actionable. Say goodbye to wondering what affects the way you feel and say hello to your gut microbiome.

A Healthy Gut Microbiome Helps:

Digestion

By digesting food and making nutrients your body can't access alone helping avoid issues like bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and IBS.

Immunity

By training and regulating the immune system defending against allergies and autoimmune diseases.

Gut Barrier Integrity

Ensuring there is a proper defense layer between your gut and blood and organs which can lead to downstream issues such as chronic inflammation and other diseases if compromised.

Cognitive Health

Via the gut-brain axis which allows a network of sensory and motor fibers to communicate from the brain to the gut defending against anxiety, depression, and brain fog.

Metabolism, Inflammation, and Energy

By breaking down, storing, and using the energy brought in from food in an optimized beneficial manner, preventing obesity, fatigue, and other unwanted side-effects of poor gut health.

What's in My Report?

Species List

You’ll see every bacterial species we detect in your sample, with 99.9% coverage, along with its relative abundance (how much of your gut each species makes up). Your report also shows diversity scores such as Shannon Index and Simpson Index, established measures of how balanced and varied your microbiome is, which can point toward overall gut health. Additionally, we include classifiers (mutualist - always good, commensal - mostly good, pathobiont - mostly bad, and pathogen - always bad) and range (low, adequate, high).

Species Reports

We show your full list, but we also spotlight the species that matter most. For each of these, you will get a robust report which cites top peer reviewed journals and the evidence tied to each species allowing full transparency and means from which the associations were drawn from.
