Decoding Your “Second Genome”: Predict Whole-Body Health from the Gut
At Sens Fontaine, we understand that true health goes deeper than what you can see; it lies in the microscopic world within you. The gut is the body’s largest immune and digestive organ, responsible for 99% of nutrient absorption and 70% of immune function. Modern science confirms that your gut microbiome—your “Second Genome”—directly influences brain development, emotional stability, immunity, and metabolic health.
We partner with the top-tier research institution NEXBRIO to provide medical-grade Gut Microbiome (GMT) testing. This is not just a report; it is the key to unlocking the health mysteries of you or your child.
What is the Gut Microbiome Analysis?
Uses next-generation 16S DNA variable region sequencing on the Illumina MiSea platform, with bioinformatics for profiling community structure, abundance, diversity, and functional potential. This goes far beyond standard probiotic checks on the market. We provide a comprehensive analysis of:
- Microbial Community Level: Overview of dominant taxa, key commensal bacteria, and potential opportunistic pathogens; including Alpha/Beta diversity and community structure.
- Health Markers: Inferences on functional potential such as short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, bile acid metabolism, and vitamin synthesis.
- Risk Assessment: Literature and database-backed risk correlations regarding the gastrointestinal tract, metabolism, immune/allergy systems, hepatobiliary system, and neuropsychology/neurodevelopmental traits.
- Disease-Related Bacteria: Predicting risks associated with inflammation, obesity, allergies, and nervous system issues.
What are the Benefits?
This test translates vague symptoms into precise data, allowing us to formulate a personalized intervention plan.
Suitable For Whom?
e offer specific analyses for different life stages:
1. Children
(0-3 years [newborn/toddler], preschool, school-age, and under 16)
The gut microbiome is the cornerstone of a child’s immunity and brain development. This test is particularly suitable for children with the following conditions:
Digestive Distress:
- Suitable for: Recurrent diarrhea, constipation, bloating, or abdominal pain.
- Risks Covered: Functional constipation, persistent/chronic diarrhea, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), bloating, feeding intolerance, and Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC).
Immune & Allergic Constitutions::
- Suitable for: Eczema, skin problems, respiratory allergy tendencies, or general allergies.
- Risks Covered: Eczema, Atopic Dermatitis, Asthma, Allergic Rhinitis, and Food Allergies.
Brain Development & Behavior (Gut-Brain Axis):
- Risks Covered: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, Developmental Delay (DD), and mood-related issues.
Nutrition & Growth:
- Suitable for: Picky eating, monotonous diet, suboptimal weight gain, or height development issues.
- Risks Covered: Malnutrition, childhood obesity/metabolic issues, Vitamin K deficiency, Vitamin B deficiency.
Early History & Medication:
- Suitable for: Preterm birth, C-section delivery, formula feeding, or history of frequent/recent antibiotic use (to assess microbiome damage).
2. Adults
Gut health in adults directly impacts metabolism, weight, and chronic disease management.
Metabolism & Weight Management:
- Suitable for: Obesity, lipid/glucose abnormalities.
- Risks Covered: Obesity or metabolic issues, Postpartum Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes.
Digestive Health:
- Risks Covered: Constipation, Postpartum Constipation, IBS, IBD, and Colorectal Cancer-related risks.
Liver Health:
- Risks Covered: Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD).
Immune & Allergy Concerns:
- Suitable for: Allergic predispositions, eczema, or respiratory allergies.
Special Medical & Emotional Support:
- Risks Covered: Chemotherapy/Radiation-related diarrhea (Cancer recovery), and mood-related issues (anxiety/depression links to gut health).
