A few weeks ago, I shared some exciting news about an upgrade coming to one of my favorite gut health tools. The response was great — and so were the questions! So today, I'm diving deeper into what this upgrade actually means, how it works, and why I think it's a game-changer for anyone serious about their gut health.
If you've worked with me, you already know how much I value testing over guessing. Understanding what's actually happening inside your gut — not just managing symptoms — is the foundation of everything I do. That's why I'm genuinely excited to share some big news about one of my favorite tools: the BiomeFX stool test from Microbiome Labs has just been relaunched with a powerful AI-driven upgrade, and it's going to change the way we look at your microbiome data.
So, What Is BiomeFX?
BiomeFX is a functional microbiome analysis that uses whole-genome shotgun metagenomic sequencing — one of the most advanced forms of gut testing available. Unlike basic stool tests, it doesn't just tell you what microbes are present. It goes deeper, providing strain-level detail and insights into how your microbiome is actually functioning. Think of it as the difference between knowing who's in a room versus understanding what everyone in that room is doing.
What's New: AI-Powered Interpretation with Jona
Here's where it gets really exciting. Microbiome Labs has partnered with Jona, a microbiome intelligence platform, to bring AI-powered analysis to the BiomeFX report.
Jona's AI synthesizes evidence from thousands of high-quality human gut microbiome studies, identifies microbial patterns linked to specific health outcomes, and then evaluates your individual results against that research. What that means for you is a report that's clearer, more personalized, and far more actionable than ever before.
“Microbiome testing only matters if it changes what you do next. With the relaunched BiomeFX, we’re translating complex sequencing into structured insights practitioners can act on with confidence.”

What This Means for You as My Client
When we use BiomeFX together, this upgrade means your results will now come with even more structured, personalized guidance — covering diet, lifestyle, and supplementation — all based on what your specific microbiome is showing us. It will help provide individualized direction that we can use to build your wellness plan.
I've always believed that your gut holds the key to so many health challenges — from digestive discomfort and inflammation to energy, immunity, skin health, and more. With this smarter version of BiomeFX, we can identify imbalances with greater precision and act on that information with more confidence than ever before.
Why This Matters More Than You Might Think
Most people don't realize that gut imbalances often show up long before symptoms become obvious. By catching these patterns early and understanding how your microbiome is functioning — not just what's living in it — we have a real opportunity to get ahead of issues rather than chasing them. That's the kind of proactive, root-cause approach I've always been committed to.
The relaunched BiomeFX, powered by Jona AI, is available starting April 29, 2026 — and I'm already incorporating it into my practice.
