That’s such an exciting part of this service- it’s like having a \u003Cstrong>DNA-based nutrition coach\u003C\u002Fstrong> in my pocket.

Atlas’s healthy average is between 0.12%-0.57% while Thryve says it’s somewhere around 9%-40%. Thryve uses different scales in the Top Bacteria section and in the extra detailed Your Gut Bacteria section as well.

So, they tried to obtain every piece of detail about my lifestyle that cannot be mined from a genetic or a microbiome test. I also checked what kind of reports I could expect, and I was happy to get familiarized with the personal account where I could anticipate a very detailed microbiome report. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Ca class=\"img\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F09\u002FScreen-Shot-08-30-19-at-10.09-AM.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"294\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F09\u002FScreen-Shot-08-30-19-at-10.09-AM-512x294.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24639\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F09\u002FScreen-Shot-08-30-19-at-10.09-AM-512x294.png 512w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F09\u002FScreen-Shot-08-30-19-at-10.09-AM-768x441.png 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F09\u002FScreen-Shot-08-30-19-at-10.09-AM-1536x883.png 1536w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F09\u002FScreen-Shot-08-30-19-at-10.09-AM.png 1865w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> \u003Cbr>Click on the image to see it in high resolution\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>A nutrition wizard for your service\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The report is available via a nicely designed,\ntransparent and very user-friendly online dashboard.

It also\nemerged that there is a reason why coriander is my all-time favorite spice\nbecause I’m sensitive to coriander leaves. I also got to know that I don’t have\nany lactose, gluten, or alcohol intolerance (well, as a Central European I sort\nof sensed the latter), and I cannot take in bitter flavors. The report detailed\nthat I process caffeine in a slower than usual manner – and that’s the\nexplanation of why I should drink coffee before a work session and not during a\nmeeting. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The company also \u003Cstrong>analyses the level of probiotics\nin your gut microbiome – you can even read about each and every one of them in\nyour account. For me, it turned out that I have too few useful bacteria in my\ngut, my microbiome diversity, as well as my fiber intake, are average and I can\nalso tell the same about my butyrate level\u003C\u002Fstrong>. The latter is a short-chain\nfatty acid and a byproduct of fiber digestion. If butyrate levels are too low\ndue to inadequate fiber intake, the body produces an inflammatory reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Another interesting and useful piece of information is that Atlas Biomed categorizes microbiome into three types corresponding with different styles of nutrition: the Western gourmand, the grain lover, and the veggie muncher. The categories seem to be pretty straightforward, and I wasn’t surprised that I ended up in the first category. When I asked the company’s microbiome counselor, he commented on my results that I’m actually a victim of Western culture. On the other hand, he also suggested dietary changes in case I would get pregnant – thus I’m not sure I will take the advice of the counselor at face value. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Ca class=\"img\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F09\u002FScreen-Shot-08-30-19-at-10.12-AM.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"294\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F09\u002FScreen-Shot-08-30-19-at-10.12-AM-512x294.png\" alt=\"microbiome test\" class=\"wp-image-24642\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F09\u002FScreen-Shot-08-30-19-at-10.12-AM-512x294.png 512w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F09\u002FScreen-Shot-08-30-19-at-10.12-AM-768x441.png 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F09\u002FScreen-Shot-08-30-19-at-10.12-AM-1536x883.png 1536w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F09\u002FScreen-Shot-08-30-19-at-10.12-AM.png 1865w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Click on the image to see it in high resolution \u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Genetics and\nmicrobiome intertwined\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Finally, I have to note that \u003Cstrong>while Atlas Biomed’s\ngenetic and microbiome test can be ordered, interpreted, and used for lifestyle\nchange separately as well, the results greatly support and complement each\nother.

For me, that also means that leading an active lifestyle, going out for runs, and having a healthy diet pay off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>All-in-all, \u003Cstrong>I received the most detailed microbiome test from Atlas Biomed that I have ever seen, and I appreciate the practical dietary advice that I receive every week – with a new list of ingredients to consider\u003C\u002Fstrong>. In addition, as I also mentioned in the genetic test review, I appreciate the dashboard and report, and I truly believe they are one of the most user-friendly presentations of data that I’ve ever seen. On the other hand, I wasn’t particularly satisfied with the microbiome counselor who tried to give me advice regarding my potential pregnancy. Putting that aside, I modified my dietary habits according to the pieces of advice I received, and I will definitely retake the test some months later. I’m curious to see whether they will discover any change – and of course, I will keep you posted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Ca class=\"img\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F09\u002FAtlas-Biomed-Microbiome-Test.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F09\u002FAtlas-Biomed-Microbiome-Test-512x512.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24644\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F09\u002FAtlas-Biomed-Microbiome-Test-512x512.png 512w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F09\u002FAtlas-Biomed-Microbiome-Test-768x768.png 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F09\u002FAtlas-Biomed-Microbiome-Test-150x150.png 150w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2019\u002F09\u002FAtlas-Biomed-Microbiome-Test.png 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> \u003Cbr>Click on the image to see it in high resolution!\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; background-color: #eee; border-top: 4px solid #444;\" cellpadding=\"10px\">\n\u003Ctbody>\n\u003Ctr>\n\u003Ctd style=\"width: 100%;\">\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>At The Medical Futurist, we are building a community for making a bold vision about the future of healthcare reality today.\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fembed\u002FFIbMejImnxs\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">\u003C\u002Fiframe>\n\u003Cp>If you’d like to support this mission, we invite you to \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.patreon.com\u002Fthemedicalfuturist\">join The Medical Futurist Patreon Community\u003C\u002Fa>.
