Microbiome
I work on projects that make it easy for normal people to understand their microbiome test results. If you’ve tested yourself with Viome, DayTwo, Zoe, Thryve, Psomagen, uBiome or others, please contact me and I’ll be happy to help you.
Browse or download Personal Science Guide to the Microbiome, my free 300+ page eBook of pretty much everything I know about the microbiome.
