Your gut is moderately out of balance — and it's addressable.
Your community skews toward lower diversity with a below-target supply of the short-chain fatty acids that calm the gut lining and train your immune system. A few beneficial workhorses are running low while some inflammation-associated groups are elevated. The good news: the biggest levers here — fiber, polyphenols, and a few foods to ease off — are ones you control. Re-test in 8–12 weeks to see the shift.
Beneficial — running low
Inflammation-associated — elevated

Your SCFA profile suggests below-target support for your own GLP-1
GLP-1 is released by your gut in response to short-chain fatty acids — and yours are running low, driven by reduced butyrate producers. Raising fiber and SCFA output is the lever most likely to help. If you're on a GLP-1 medication, this is your baseline: re-test to confirm your diversity and SCFAs are holding as your appetite and intake change. Discuss with your clinician

Favor — likely to calm your gut
- Fiber diversity: oats, barley, legumes, lentils
- Resistant starch: cooked-and-cooled potato, green banana
- Polyphenols: berries, extra-virgin olive oil, green tea, cocoa
- Prebiotics: onion, garlic, leek, asparagus, chicory
- Fermented: yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi
- Omega-3: oily fish, walnuts, flax
Ease off — likely to flare your gut
- Emulsifiers: polysorbate-80, carboxymethylcellulose your data
- Ultra-processed & high-additive packaged foods
- Excess added sugar & refined carbohydrate
- Very high red / processed meat frequency
- Artificial sweeteners (sucralose, saccharin) — trial & recheck
- Alcohol beyond light intake
This is your baseline.
Re-test in 8–12 weeks to see your balance score, diversity, and SCFAs respond to the changes above. Your trend line builds with each report.
