myBIOME
Metagenomic Test for the Study of Intestinal Microbiome Functionality
Why undergoing this examination?
Currently, more and more people experience discomfort related to the digestive system. In most cases, even without severe symptoms, this affects the quality of life. The current lifestyle, with high levels of stress, poor diet, or certain treatments, can alter the intestinal microbiome, causing an imbalance in the various types of microorganisms that inhabit our intestines, which can have negative consequences for our health. Imbalances in the intestinal microbiome can be qualitative or quantitative and affect both their distribution and activity, which has a proven effect on health. Diseases related to the imbalance of the intestinal microbiome include digestive diseases (inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, constipation), metabolic diseases (obesity, type 2 diabetes, etc.), cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, etc.), neurological diseases (depression, anxiety, etc.), and immune diseases, among others.
What is this exam?
The myBIOME is an analysis of the intestinal microbiome through complete genome sequencing of microbial genomes (shotgun metagenomics), allowing for a thorough, objective, and actionable study of all microorganisms that make up the intestinal ecosystem. It provides detailed information about the microorganisms that inhabit the intestines and their functionality, the impact they have on health, which key functions for health are being performed by the detected microorganisms, and how to achieve balance through personalized nutritional recommendations.
For whom is it indicated?
- Patients with digestive alterations, metabolic and/or cardiovascular diseases;
- Inflammatory and/or immune diseases;
- Neurodegenerative diseases and/or mood disorders;
- Chronic fatigue;
- Patients who want to proactively manage their health and prevent the development of pathologies associated with intestinal dysbiosis.
Technology
Shotgun metagenomic sequencing by Next-generation sequencing (NGS).
