What is the Holobiome?
The holobiome is the combination of your unique genetics and microbiome.
Genes determine various physical traits and aspects of your health, such as height and disease susceptibility. Although DNA remains mostly stable, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can impact gene function and health, making them a crucial piece of managing your patient’s health. Epigenetics examines how gene expression is influenced by lifestyle and dietary factors. Nutrigenomics uses knowledge of SNPs to tailor nutrition and lifestyle interventions for better health outcomes.
The human microbiome, a diverse collection of microbes, is crucial for connecting and influencing various organ systems through the gut-organ axes. Growing research supports that advanced probiotics with important Keystone species drastically impact health. These probiotics affect multiple gut axes—such as gut-brain and gut-skin—demonstrating their potential to enhance well-being and repair damage.
By understanding a patient’s unique holobiome blueprint, practitioners can tailor health interventions to individual genetic and microbiome profiles, providing a unique and effective approach to individualized health.
