Example of our SPARKbiom Microbiom Test Medical Recommendation Raport:
55-year-old woman. GERD on long-term PPIs, prediabetes on metformin, unexplained fatigue, bloating, numbness, poor sleep, and weight loss.
Her gut microbiome test revealed why.
→ Bacterial diversity critically low
→ Bacillota overgrowth at 90% — Bacteroidota nearly gone
→ Bifidobacterium at just 0.3%
→ Methane production in the upper range — slowing her gut transit and trapping gas
→ Folate and GABA production collapsed — directly linked to her fatigue, mood, and sleep
→ Oral bacteria colonising her intestine — a known side effect of long-term acid suppression
These were not random symptoms. They were one connected pattern driven by polypharmacy and dysbiosis.
Her medical recommendation included a personalised 12-week protocol:
Weeks 1–2 — stabilise: priority lab work, B12, folate and K2 supplementation, core Bifidobacterium probiotic, psyllium, low-fermentation diet
Weeks 3–4 — build: review labs, consider tapering PPI under medical supervision, add prebiotic fibre, slowly expand plant foods
Weeks 5–8 — diversify: introduce GOS, then inulin, target 12–15 different plants per week
Weeks 9–12 — optimise: increase resistant starch, introduce legumes, repeat key labs, reassess symptoms
This is what a real gut health report looks like. Not a generic supplement list — a staged, evidence-based plan built around her biology.
If you recognise yourself in this case, your gut is telling you something worth listening to.
