Address the root cause of your digestive issues

The program includes:

• 2 Tiny Health Gut Microbiome Tests
• 4 Consult calls with a microbiome specialist
• Access to discounted additional microbiome tests at ($169/kit) during the duration of your program

A Tiny Health gut microbiome test, can provide valuable insights into how the gut microbiome may be contributing to symptoms such as those associated with IBD/IBS, constipation, chronic diarrhea, and more. Here's how:

• ‍Identifying Imbalances: The test can identify imbalances in the gut microbiome, such as an overgrowth of harmful bacteria or a lack of beneficial bacteria, which may be contributing to symptoms.
• ‍Understanding Triggers: By understanding the composition of your gut microbiome, you can determine if specific bacteria or imbalances are triggering your symptoms.
• ‍Personalized Action Plan: The test results come with an Action Plan, and your microbiome specialist will work with you to prioritize actions to restore balance in the gut. This may include dietary changes, probiotics, prebiotics, or other lifestyle and environmental changes.
• ‍Monitoring Progress: After implementing changes, you can retest to see how your gut microbiome has responded, allowing for adjustments to your Action Plan as needed.There is not a one-size-fits-all approach to gut health. Understanding your own gut community through a microbiome test can help you take targeted actions to address imbalances and alleviate symptoms, leading to improved gut health and overall well-being.

The six-month duration of the program is based on the time it typically takes to work through a chronic condition effectively. Here's a breakdown of what to expect during the six months:

• ‍Month 1: You’ll have an introductory consultation with your microbiome specialist and take the first gut test. It takes about 3-4 weeks to receive the results of your microbiome test.
• ‍Month 2-3: You’ll receive the results of your first test and meet with your microbiome specialist to establish your personalized Action Plan. You’ll work on implementing the recommended personalized Action Plan for the next 4-6 weeks.
• ‍Month 4: You’ll check in with your microbiome specialist to see how the actions implemented are progressing and take the second gut microbiome test.
• ‍Month 5-6: You’ll receive the results of the second gut test and meet with your specialist to see how the changes you’ve implemented have shifted the gut microbiome. Your specialist will fine tune your personalized Action Plan.

After the initial six months, your microbiome specialist will help you determine the best next steps. The Program auto-renews for an additional six months. Your specialist may recommend additional support with a continuation of the program. Alternatively, they may recommend that you graduate and join the Tiny+ Membership after the initial six month period. The Membership offers ongoing support and resources to help maintain long term gut health.

Many microbiome tests, including GI Map or GI Effects, use qPCR technology, which targets a limited number of specific microbes in the gut (typically 30-300 specific microbes). These tests employ an amplification step to detect microbes like Bifidobacterium or other Opportunistic Pathogens even at very low levels. While qPCR technology can be useful for detecting microbes at low levels due to the amplification step, it does not provide a comprehensive view of the full gut community because it only examines a limited number of microbes in the gut.

Tiny Health, on the other hand, uses shotgun metagenomic sequencing technology, which is considered the new gold standard in microbiome research. This technology allows us to detect over 120,000 microbes in your gut community, including ALL bacteria, viruses, fungi and single cell parasites. This approach provides a more accurate and comprehensive view of your gut microbiome.

Many of our members use their FSA/HSA to pay for clinical fees, and tests. However, we recommend checking with your FSA/HSA company/carrier for more information on what details are required. In case there is any additional documentation you need, feel free to reach out to us at customer support. we’re more than happy to help you with the necessary paperwork.
