The trillions of microorganisms in your gut influence your metabolism, inflammation, insulin sensitivity, and even your biological age. 24byMe integrates gut microbiome assessment into Precision Health Insights assessments to identify dysbiosis and restore microbial balance through targeted nutrition, prebiotics, probiotics, and lifestyle interventions.
Microbiome medicine focuses on the trillions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses living in your gut — collectively known as the gut microbiome. These microorganisms play a critical role in digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, hormone regulation, and inflammation control.
Advanced diagnostics like 16S rRNA gene sequencing allow us to identify exactly which bacterial species are present in your gut and whether their balance supports health or drives health problems. Dysbiosis — an imbalance in gut bacteria — is strongly linked to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, NAFLD, obesity, and chronic inflammation.
Gut bacteria influence energy harvest, fat storage, and inflammation
Dysbiosis is linked to insulin resistance, NAFLD, and obesity
16S rRNA sequencing identifies specific bacterial species
A four-step process from assessment to personalised protocol.
1. Assessment
Precision Health: Longevity tier
16S rRNA gut microbiome sequencing included in comprehensive panel
2. Analysis
Doctor debrief
Dysbiosis patterns identified and linked to metabolic markers (insulin, liver enzymes, inflammation)
3. Personalised Protocol
CST / Lifestyle Prescription / Lifer program
Targeted prebiotic, probiotic, and dietary recommendations based on your specific bacterial profile
4. Monitoring
CTM or program end
Repeat assessment to track microbiome improvement alongside metabolic markers
| Condition | Relevance | Program Link |
|---|---|---|
| NAFLD / Fatty Liver | Liver-gut axis — dysbiosis drives hepatic fat accumulation | View program → |
| Type 2 Diabetes | Gut bacteria influence glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity | View program → |
| Obesity | Microbiome composition affects energy harvest and fat storage | View program → |
| Hormonal Imbalance | Gut health affects estrogen metabolism and thyroid function | View program → |
| Systemic Inflammation | Dysbiosis increases intestinal permeability and inflammatory load | View program → |
Your microbiome data is interpreted alongside your metabolic, hormonal, and inflammatory markers — not in a separate report you need to figure out yourself.
Probiotic and prebiotic recommendations are adapted to Indian diets — fermented foods, fiber sources, and meal patterns you can actually sustain.
We track microbiome improvement alongside HbA1c, liver enzymes, inflammatory markers, and other clinical endpoints.
