Bristle Oral Health Test

I was a little disappointed that it raised lack of f prausnitzii as a concern since the baby was only a couple of months old at the time of the test. My review of the research suggests that it doesn’t commonly appear until around Month 7, which would have been a useful thing to note.

I'm so grateful I was introduced to Tiny Health through my doctor at the local feeding clinic. My baby boy was exposed to antibiotics through breast milk at 1 month old. We tested at 9 weeks, and re-sampled after 2 months of consistent probiotic use, and his gut health changed from only 4% beneficial gut bacteria to 74% beneficial bacteria. As someone who has struggled my entire life with symptoms of 'leaky gut' and food intolerances, I'm excited that my son has the opportunity to have a strong healthy gut from infancy. Gut health is foundational for immune system function and mental health. It is incredibly empowering as a new Mom to know I'm taking proactive steps to help ensure my son has a strong foundation for lifelong health.

The action plan is great, but it would be more helpful to have a priority action plan. What is the top priority/benefits and rank them. I also wanted to look at the meaning behind the markers for food allergies showing borderline since she has been "diagnosed" with food allergies, but I found it difficult to dive into this information on the report.

I would 100% recommend this to anyone who is pregnant. I was blown away by how actionable the report was, and it was very reassuring to see those positive changes in my baby’s gut early on.

Speaking with the experts at Tiny Health helped me to prioritize the actions I could take to improve gut health and to make decisions around re-testing based on the actions I was planning to take.

When I first discovered tiny health, I learned that most of your immunity is in your gut! As a new first time mom and registered nurse, I obviously wanted to provide the healthiest lifestyle possible for my baby. My baby was born at a birthing center, vaginally, with no interventions, and exclusively breastfed. Because of all of these factors, I was expecting my baby’s gut to be pretty healthy. Well, I found out that he only had 9% beneficial bacteria in his gut! While we don’t know the exact cause, we believe it could be related to the fact that I took 3 rounds of antibiotics for mastitis. The only symptoms my baby was showing of an unhealthy gut was cradle cap that just wasn’t going away and multiple loose, runny stools per day. Tiny health provides a personalized action plan, which included starting my baby on a probiotic and for me to start taking omega 3s. Since starting the probiotic, his cradle cap started flaking off! In addition, his stool has gotten so much better! It is truly amazing. We plan to test again and I can’t wait for his results because I just know that his beneficial bacteria has increased just based on the improvements I see. I love that I have a measurable and easy test to know if my interventions are working. Thanks to tiny health, I know that I am giving my baby the healthiest start to life. Now we have even started testing the whole family! We love tiny health!!

Halstyn's symptoms have improved so much.

I was really pleased with how accessible this test was and how much detail Tiny Health provided with the test results. The action plan provided by Tiny Health greatly improved my son’s skin condition. I also really appreciated the free consultation to go over the results.

Love the detailed breakdown of the microbiome.

So much more detailed and helpful than what my paediatricians, dietitians, speeches, OTs, osteos etc have been able to provide. This has been extremely clear and helpful information as to why my Bub has been so unsettled.

It is better to test, not to guess.

This was a great test for our daughter. We wanted to set her up for success from the start and we were able to use the results to keep her on track!

I am SO glad that I found Tiny Health and only wish I had found them sooner! I've worked with a functional medicine practitioner for years so I know how insanely important our gut health is, and I feel so great knowing that I'm taking steps now to ensure that my daughter's gut is as strong as it can be as she grows! I know that the first few years of life are critical when it comes to gut health and having a clear and digestible action plan based on her individual microbiome is making it so easy to set her up for success. I want to do everything I can to help her develop a strong immune system and Tiny Health has made that possible! I knew I wanted to give her a probiotic but was overwhelmed by all of the infant probiotic options out there. The detailed action plan from her 7-day gut microbiome testing results made it so easy to find the right one for her individual needs! I also love how much I learned from her atopic march biomarker profile. Allergies, eczema and asthma are on the rise in babies and kids so knowing that I can take steps to decrease her risk of developing these diseases! If I had found Tiny Health sooner, I would have tested myself during pregnancy to get a head start but I feel so empowered with the information I got from her testing and can't wait to see her results from the 3 month sample! I'll be submitting my own sample soon too to see what I can be doing to better support her. How amazing is that?!

The process was so easy! And the insights are invaluable. I really liked that the data was organized in different ways depending on what you wanted to look at. I'm a very visual learner, so all of the charts/graphs were helpful
