Gut microbiome connection with overall health
Your gut microbiome functions have an impact on total body health. Interaction between trillions of microbes & food substrates you eat impacts your satiety, blood sugar level, immune response, brain health, digestive issues, fatigue, acid reflux, mood swings, weight gain & more. Our human microbiome therapeutics platform analyses biochemical reactions to identify what is making you develop various health conditions & overlays mathematical models on the top of it to determine which specific food, supplements & biotics can promote optimal gut microbiome functions & suppress inflammation. By bridging the gap between scientific discoveries & human health, we are giving you biggest resource at your disposal to reclaim control of your health & fix your biological powerhouse.
How our microbiome therapeutics as a service fares up with other microbiome & DNA tests
Although DNA can tell about ancestry & rare genetic disorders, it cannot decode current health symptoms. DNA does not change during life & hence food interventions based solely on DNA does not change even if an individual experiences health issues. The underlying cause of multiple health issues is generally altered genes expression which is driven by human microbial functions.Genefitletics decodes & analyze microbial functions at molecular level & transform them into biological pathways to offer nutrition, supplement biotics interventions to help you bring back body in state of balance.
Most Microbiome testing companies, unlike Genefitletics, are just focussed on microbial DNA & can only tell you which microorganisms are there in the gut. They cannot decode functions of these microbes inside the gut, what they are doing, what they are producing, their activities & behavior. For instance, two people suffering from type 2 diabetes may have completely different organisms but these organisms produce the same metabolite that causes type 2 diabetes. These tests cannot even tell if those microbes are active or dormant.
Genefitletics ‘s microbiome therapeutics as a service decode functional activity of microbiome & gives a complete picture of metabolites being produced by microbiota such as production of beneficial byproducts- butyrate, antioxidants, vitamin & minerals & release of harmful toxins such as LPS, TMA, Methane, Ammonia, Putrescine & more.
Food sensitivity tests measure antibodies to foods. Foods that are listed on your food sensitivity tests may be actually good for you. You may be eating a lot of that food while suffering from intestinal permeability aka leaky gut. Leaky gut is the outcome of prolonged chronic inflammation that damages gut lining, allowing a lot of food particles & even bacteria to cross the barrier & enter the bloodstream & making the immune system release antibodies in response to those foods, bacteria or any other substances. The food sensitivity reactions are Ig mediated immune system responses causing inflammation & triggering symptoms such as bloating,constipation, headache, migraine & more.
What UP THE GUT Offers?
UP THE GUT empowers you to go beyond standard of care diagnostics & DNA testing to predict & decode underlying cause of systemic inflammation & range of chronic diseases with precision & adopt category defining therapeutic interventions to prevent/cure them.
Your gut microbiome is as unique as your fingerprint & you share not more than 5% of microbes with others. Analysing functions of your gut microbes & decoding the metabolites they produce is key to understanding reasons for poor health & optimising total body health using data driven precision nutrition as fulcrum.
Genefitletics unique human microbiome therapeutics platform adopts a system biology approach & applies machine learning on the top of it to identify underlying molecular signature of chronic diseases & provide you personalised disease modifying interventions which other standard tests miss.

Our science + mathematics way of regulating biological functions tied to overall health
Your gut microbiome is impacted by stress, sleep, your dietary choices, smoking, alcohol & external environment. These factors can imbalance your gut microbiome & overtime trigger various symptoms classified as disease. Microbes in your gut rely on nutrients you feed them with the food you eat to keep your gut microbial ecosystem in balance.
Going beyond mere existence of bacteria, we focus on functions of gut microbiome to inform you precision nutrition & supplement recommendations to promote beneficial gut microbial activities & suppress pro-inflammatory functions.
Biological Pathway Scores
We provide biological pathways scores based on unique functional activity of your gut microbiome. Unlike other tests that focuses on your DNA, we use functional activity analysis which provides deeper molecular insights of gut microbiome & decode early signatures of range of chronic diseases & cancer.
With these insights & associated nutrition interventions, you can track improvement in molecular signatures indicative of systemic diseases.UP THE GUT is the only test in Asia that converts your gut microbiome functions into molecular insights that can be monitored over time for transformative outcomes.

Nutrition interventions
The nutrition interventions carved out based on biological pathway scores are designed to reduce the risk of systemic diseases & provide nutrients & fuel to gut microbes to
- Learn what specific food substrates are triggering systemic inflammation
- Address the root cause of multiple chronic conditions
- Improve nutrient absorption
- Promote beneficial microbial activities that strengthens gut lining, reduces risk of leaky gut & regulates immune response.
- Suppress microbial activities to reduce production of endotoxins, neurotoxins, immunotoxins & pro-inflammatory byproducts such as TMA, putrescine, LPS & more.
- Promote healthy gut brain communication to reduce instances of stress, anxiety & depression
- Optimize your glycemic response to food to improve your insulin sensitivity & reduce risk of type 2 diabetes.
- Overcome food & sugar cravings through improved secretion of GLP-1 & PYY
- Optimize your cholesterol metabolism & stimulate production of beneficial secondary metabolites to promote cardiovascular health
Introducing precision supplement interventions to regulate your biology
Your precision supplement interventions are carved out to support the biological pathways which are suboptimal right now & your nutrition interventions are sufficient to regulate them due to ongoing chronic & systemic inflammation.
This covers recommendations on how much of each of the following your body & microbiome needs daily,
-Amino acids, vitamins & minerals
-Antioxidants & adaptogens
-Food extracts & postbiotics
-Prebiotics & probiotics
Democratize your holistic health
All UP THE GUT unique health insights & health interventions are blended into a research ecosystem which empower healthcare practitioners to align their diagnosis & treatment with an individual’s unique biology.
