GUTXY

København, Denmark

GUTXY is an ongoing personalized health service that uses microbiome analyses and scientific research to support individuals in making educated dietary and lifestyle choices. Current health and wellness services lack scientific credibility and fail to address personal differences. The overload of conflicting lifestyle recommendations overwhelm consumers who are looking for tailored solutions that can show them what they need to do to optimize their health and dietary choices. The microbiome offers the possibility to truly personalize the diet, with health insights that give ongoing results and proof of efficacy. Scientists have shown that the state of health or disease can be visualized by looking at an individual’s gut microbiome. The collection of microbes, known as your microbiome, includes bacteria, and its composition affects everything from our physical to our mental health. Our gut microbiome can be changed in a day, just by changing our dietary lifestyle. As such, we believe that by analyzing our gut microbiomes, we can discover what foods are specifically beneficial for us. GUTXY aims to use DNA sequencing technology to identify key microorganisms in one’s gut, measuring bacterial diversity and other notable metrics that affect health. Our service will offer tailored nutrition, health and lifestyle recommendations and thus enhance one’s general health. The process is simple: users order a kit online, take their own sample at home, which we then process in the lab and run through our customized pipeline to give personalized insights.
