It’s World Microbiome Day!

Today, we’re joining the global celebration of the incredible community of microbes that live inside us—and the science that helps us understand them.

With microbiome testing now more accessible, powerful, and personalised than ever, there’s never been a better time for individuals and clinicians to explore what the gut can tell us.

Through Co-Biome’s MetaXplore range, we can gain valuable insights into:

✅ Microbial Diversity
A diverse gut supports better health and resilience against illness.

✅ Inflammatory Potential
Find out if your microbes are promoting anti-inflammatory or pro-inflammatory pathways.

✅ Science-Backed Interventions
Access targeted diet and lifestyle advice shown to shift the microbiome in meaningful ways.

✅ Full Species Breakdown
Get a detailed map of bacteria, fungi, archaea, and protists living in your gut.

✅ Clinician Support
Your report comes with expert guidance from a certified Co-Biome clinician.

Today’s a celebration of the tiny microbes that make a big impact—so why not take the next step toward personalised, preventative health?

Feed Your Gut with Fudge?! Yes, Please.

In celebration of World Microbiome Day this Friday, 27 June, we’re diving into all things — and today, it’s all about polyphenols and a brownie recipe your gut will love.

What are polyphenols?
They're natural compounds found in plant-based foods like fruits, veggies, tea, coffee, dark chocolate, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and spices. There are four main types:

🔹 Flavonoids
🔹 Lignans
🔹 Stilbenes
🔹 Phenolic acids

While only a small portion gets absorbed in the upper gut, a whopping 90–95% make their way to the lower gut, where they interact with your gut microbes, acting as powerful prebiotics.

In fact, in 2017, the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) officially recognised polyphenols as prebiotics due to their role in boosting microbial diversity.

Recipe Spotlight:
These rich, fudgy brownies are packed with gut-loving polyphenols from sweet potato, cacao, and pecans. A decadent treat that’s good for your microbes? Yes, that exists.

👉 Find this recipe and more in the Co-Biome Education Hub, accessible via the Practitioner's Portal: https://loom.ly/NOQ7qjk

Microbiome 101: What You Need to Know

Your gut is home to trillions of microbes, and a diverse microbiome is associated with improved digestion, enhanced immunity, and overall better health.

One of the best ways to support gut diversity? Eat 30 or more different plant foods each week.

The landmark American Gut Project found that people who consumed more than 30 types of plants per week had more diverse and robust microbial communities compared to those who ate fewer than 10.

Here are some simple ways to hit that 30+ target:
🔹 Spice it up – Add herbs and spices like basil, turmeric, and coriander to everyday meals
🔹 Swap your staples – Try purple sweet potato instead of orange, or yellow capsicum over red
🔹 Legume love – Add lentils to soups, kidney beans to Bolognese, or snack on hummus and falafel
🔹 Go global – Cook from different cuisines each week to naturally boost plant variety
🔹 Supercharge your smoothie – Add a new fruit or veg, or try green banana flour for gut-loving resistant starch
🔹 Bread rotation – Switch between seeded, wholemeal, rye, or sprouted grain breads for extra variety

Your gut microbes thrive on variety—so try and spread the love, every week!

Simplifying Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders with Microbiome Insights. Naturopath Chantel Yates will share learnings from nearly two decades in practice, helping clinicians better understand the role of microbiome testing in functional GI disorders and Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI). She’ll cover the diagnostic framework of DGBI, including the Rome IV criteria, and unpack some of the limitations that can lead to misdiagnosis.
‍
This session is designed for clinicians who want to strengthen their clinical confidence in managing functional GI disorders and DGBI, and deepen their understanding of the microbiome to deliver more effective care to patients navigating long-term gut health challenges.
