What is microbiome diversity?
Microbiome diversity refers to the number of bacterial species present in the gut. These bacteria can be active or inactive, but greater bacterial diversity is generally associated with better health. A diverse microbiome supports the immune system and helps to protect against pathogens and other harmful invaders.
Why test your microbiome diversity?
According to Stanislav Dusko Ehrlich, a leading expert and pioneer in microbiome research, low bacterial diversity is a health threat:
"Recent scientific studies show a loss of gut microbiome diversity in industrialized countries, which poses a significant health risk. This loss is linked to an increased risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, liver and cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers. It is also associated with conditions like asthma, allergies, chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, autism, and other mental disorders."
Gut microbiome analysis to assess its diversity
The microbiome analysis offered by Nahibu highlights any loss of diversity, which is a crucial first step in addressing this issue, primarily through nutrition tailored to at-risk individuals.
This analysis lays the foundation to counteract this largely unknown health threat. It provides insight into each individual’s microbiome strengths and weaknesses, enabling them to take action with personalized dietary advice.
By tailoring your diet to your unique microbiome profile, you can significantly improve digestive issues, manage weight, prevent certain diseases, and strengthen your immune system.
