There is increasing interest in personalized microbiome modulation, an approach that tailors interventions to an individual's microbiome composition. A mix of highly publicized scientific initiatives and companies offering testing services has piqued the public’s curiosity. Moreover, the microbiome has become a popular topic across media channels, particularly social media.
This interest does not always translate into follow through. Although 10% of the U.S. population reports participating in a personalized nutrition plan that includes some type of microbiome testing, research firm Nlumn shows that only 2% of the population has conducted a microbiome test. These tests lag behind more common tests like blood and genetics.
What is the growth opportunity for microbiome companies? What microbiome companies and tests are out there, how do they compare, and what are the challenges with them? The microbiome impacts all facets of the body, but what areas of health are being more transformed by microbiome discoveries and why? What does a ‘healthy’ microbiome look like, and can we even truly define it?
The webinar will answer these questions and many more, while also considering how rapid advances in technology like AI may change the direction of microbiome-based supplementation.
The upcoming Personalized Microbiome Modulation for Optimal Health webinar will bring together key stakeholders from across the personalized nutrition and longevity fields to share their insights and what consumers may expect from this quickly evolving microbiome field.
This FREE webinar (registration required) will take place on Dec. 5 at 11 a.m. CST, 9 a.m. PT and will feature insights from:
Dr. Nathan Price, chief scientific officer, Thorne HealthTech
Noah Voreades, founder and managing director, GenBiome Consulting
