61: Gut Microbiome Analysis Powered by AI: Testing My Gut Health & Inflammation

The Primal Shift

Your gut is home to an entire ecosystem of microorganisms that silently shape your digestion, immune function and overall health. Most of us barely think about it, but this hidden universe inside us plays a vital role in our well-being.

I recently explored my own gut microbiome using Jona, an AI-powered platform that goes far beyond typical gut tests.

Jona offers personalized insights based on cutting-edge research, showing how your microbiome could be impacting everything from inflammation to metabolic health. I was surprised to discover that my gut contains 246 different microorganisms, including the pathogen Clostridium perfringis. While that sounded alarming at first, Jona helped me understand that, in the context of my lifestyle — which includes raising livestock and spending a lot of time outdoors — it’s not a cause for concern. More importantly, Jona highlighted that my gut’s bacteria have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, which may explain why my CRP levels are consistently low.

One of the most fascinating aspects of my results is how they align with my animal-based diet. Most of the probiotics in my system come from fermented dairy products like kefir, reflecting how my dietary choices have shaped the microorganisms living inside me. Jona’s personalized approach even helped confirm why I sometimes experience discomfort with raw milk, revealing that my gut lacks certain lactose-digesting bacteria.

If you’re interested in gaining deeper insights into your own gut health, Jona could be a game-changer. The platform links your microbiome data with real scientific studies, offering actionable recommendations tailored to your lifestyle and health goals.
