3 things your doctor got wrong about blood sugar 🩸 1️⃣ The same banana spiked one person's blood sugar over 160 mg/dL. It barely moved someone else's. Glycemic index is a property of the body eating it. 2️⃣ Your A1C can look perfect while your insulin is quietly screaming. A1C is an average. By the time it flags anything, the conversation has been happening in your body for years. 3️⃣ Across ~1,100 people and 60,000+ meals, AI can now predict your glucose response before you eat based on what your gut microbiome is doing. Not the food's glycemic index. Yours. It's not about the food. It's about you. Two people, same meal. Different bodies, different responses. Every single time.

Women deserve better. Better advice. Better health plans. Better answers. If she’s tried the diets… the supplements… the “right” things… and still doesn’t feel like herself… this is for her. Because it’s not her willpower. It’s not her discipline. It’s that most health advice was never built for her body. The truth? Her biology is unique. And her health should be, too. That’s where Viome comes in. By analyzing 10,000+ biomarkers from her gut microbiome, cells, and immune system, Viome gives her personalized food recommendations and precision supplements designed specifically for her body. And the results speak for themselves: ✔️ 92% report improved energy† ✔️ 91% report improved digestion† ✔️ 94% report improved mood† ✔️ 63% report weight loss† Real people. Real outcomes. “I lost weight without dieting by just eating the foods on my personalized Viome food list.” “I’ve noticed a tremendous difference in my energy and gut function.” Women’s Health Week ends tomorrow, but the conversation doesn't stop here. Because the answers to her health struggles aren’t out there. They’re already inside her, waiting to be decoded. ✨ Stop guessing. Start knowing. †Based on a population of Viome users who tested with two kits in a six-month period and followed their personalized recommendations. #WomensHealthWeek #guthealth #gutmicrobiome

Day-old rice. Cold potatoes. Yesterday's pasta. Most people think reheated leftovers are a downgrade. The science says the opposite. When starchy foods like rice and potatoes are cooked and then cooled, their molecular structure literally changes. The starch reorganizes into a form called resistant starch, which is a type of fiber your body can't break down on its own. It travels intact to your large intestine, where your gut bacteria ferment it. Translation: the cold version of the same food feeds your microbiome in ways the hot version doesn't. The carbs didn't change. The cooking didn't change. The biology of the food did. This is the kind of thing diet rules miss completely. Carbs are bad. Rice is fattening. Potatoes are empty. The reality is more interesting: how you prepare food can change how your body (and your microbiome) actually responds to it. Save this for the next time you're tempted to throw out cold rice. Send it to the friend who thinks all carbs are the enemy. #guthealth #microbiome #resistantstarch #personalizednutrition #viome

If you’ve been treating your mood like a brain problem, you’ve been working with about 10% of the picture. Up to 90% of your body’s serotonin is made in your gut. Not your brain. 🧠 Which is the most empowering thing nobody told you, because it means how you feel isn’t completely out of your control. It’s something you can actually influence, starting with what your body has been quietly trying to tell you. This #mentalhealthawarenessmonth, join Dr. @grantantoinend and @janelle_connell_nutrition for an honest conversation about the gut-brain connection, and the personal steps that can genuinely change how you feel.

Great supplements deserve a great foundation. Before personalization, begin with preparation. Your gut isn't a blank slate. Across 1M+ microbiome insights, we found that most people start with a weakened lining, low butyrate, and a microbiome that's been through it. That's why we built Advanced TriSynbiotic™: a 30-day gut prep designed to support gut lining strength, butyrate availability, microbiome balance, and digestive comfort.* A better foundation = better results. For a limited time, ATS is included FREE with eligible Viome plans. Prep first. Then personalize. Link in bio. 🔗 While supplies last. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.

A diabetes doctor said something on Episode 5 worth pausing on: "If your belly is not flat, then there is a super high chance that you have insulin resistance." — Damon Tanton, MD, AdventHealth Diabetes Institute @adventhealthcfl It often shows up years before standard bloodwork catches it, and the conventional playbook is to wait until the numbers tip, then intervene. But Dr. Tanton and Viome's CTO Guru Banavar argue the conversation should be happening upstream in the gut. Because the gut microbiome shapes how your body processes food, regulates glucose, and signals to the rest of your metabolism, every single day. Your genes set the stage. Your gut, your environment, and your daily choices help write the script.

Stop searching for the best diet. Keto works. Vegan works. Mediterranean works. Paleo, carnivore, intermittent fasting. Every one of them has studies, testimonials, and experts swearing it cracked the code. Here's what nobody tells you: they all work. For someone. None of them work for everyone. The variable was never the diet. The variable is you. Two people can eat the identical meal and have completely different responses. Different blood sugar, different inflammation, different energy, different microbiome reactions. The food didn't change. The biology did. And biology is what most diet advice quietly ignores, because it's a lot easier to sell a generalized plan than to admit there isn't one that works for everyone. The best diet isn't trending. It's not in a bestseller. It's not what your favorite influencer eats. It's the one your body recognizes as fuel. Personalized nutrition isn't a wellness aesthetic. It's the only honest answer to "what should I eat?" Save this for the next time you fall down a diet research rabbit hole. Send it to the friend who's tried every plan and still doesn't feel right. #personalizednutrition #bestdiet #guthealth #microbiome #viome

Women's Health Week starts today 🌼 And we wanted to do more than post about it. Because you've been the one showing up. Through the fatigue that doesn't quite go away. Through the diets and food plans you tried with real effort. Through the appointments where you were told everything was fine when it didn't feel fine. You haven't been doing it wrong. You've been working without the right information. So this week, we're giving two women the answers their biology has been waiting for. The Full Body Intelligence Test™ reads 10,000+ biomarkers across her gut, cells, and immune system, and tells her what her body actually needs. No more guessing. No more averages. To enter: tap the link in our bio and tell us your top health goal. That's it. Send it to the woman in your life who's been carrying her symptoms quietly for too long. She deserves a real shot at real answers. Ends May 18. T&Cs apply. #WomensHealthWeek #WomensHealth #GutHealth #Viome

"It's just stress." "It's hormonal." "It's normal." "It's all in your head." No. Cravings aren't a willpower problem. They can point to blood sugar instability. Fatigue isn't laziness. It can trace back to how your cells produce energy. Bloating isn't random. It often signals a microbial imbalance in the gut. Brain fog isn't just a busy week. It can come from a microbiome that's out of balance. The wellness industry has spent decades telling people to manage their symptoms. Breathe through them. Push past them. Drink more water. Try yoga. Your symptoms aren't problems to silence. They're data your body is trying to hand you. And most people have never been taught how to read it. Stop asking what's wrong with you. Start asking what your body is trying to say. Save this as a reminder that it's not all in your head. #guthealth #microbiome #personalizednutrition #viome

3 things you didn't know about your DNA that will change how you think about health. 1️⃣ Identical twins. Same DNA. Different diseases. 2️⃣ A Crohn's patient. Healthy one month. Sick the next. Same DNA. 3️⃣ The same E. coli can produce a cancer toxin OR vitamin K2 depending on which genes are switched on. Same code. Different outcomes. Every time. So what's actually deciding your health? Not your DNA. Your RNA. DNA is the cookbook. RNA is the chef. And the chef is always listening to what you eat, how you sleep, what you breathe, what you're exposed to. You're not stuck with what you inherited. You're shaped by what you express. ✉️ Save this and send it to someone who needs to hear this. 🎙️ Two PhDs on a Pod, Ep 4 — link in bio. #TwoPhDsOnAPod #RNA #GutHealth #Microbiome #Viome

Your gut isn't just digesting your food. It's making vitamins for you. ✨ Yes you read that right! Certain bacteria in your gut are tiny, round-the-clock vitamin factories. They produce B vitamins like B12, folate, riboflavin, and biotin, plus vitamin K2. These are nutrients your body needs but can't make on its own. And these aren't minor players. B vitamins help turn food into energy, support brain function, and keep your nervous system steady. Vitamin K helps with blood clotting and bone health. Without your gut microbes pulling their weight, you'd be relying entirely on your diet to cover it all. Which is why feeding the microbes that feed you matters. Fiber-rich, plant-diverse foods (leafy greens, legumes, whole grains, fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut) give your vitamin-making microbes the fuel they need to keep the factory running. Moral of the story: you're not eating alone. You've got trillions of roommates with very strong opinions about what shows up on your plate. Share with someone who still thinks vitamins only come in pill form. #GutHealth #Microbiome #GutHealthTips #FiberRich #Nutrition

Gut health doesn't need to be complicated. It needs to be consistent. Most people fail at "eating clean" because the standard is impossible: perfect meals, all the time, forever. So they swing between rigid and reckless and never get the compounding benefit of small choices. But your microbiome doesn't grade you on perfect days. It responds to patterns. The white bread you reach for. The processed snack you grab at 3pm. The seed oils at the bottom of every meal. Four swaps that quietly change everything: White bread for whole grain. Chips for nuts. Seed oils for extra virgin olive oil. Sugary snacks for fruit and fiber. You don't need perfection. You need better defaults. What's the one swap that's been hardest for you to make stick? And if you know someone who's tired of being told willpower is the problem, send this their way.
