Your gut flora shapes immunity, metabolism, mood and inflammation. We map it with DNA sequencing rather than culture, then translate the result into a concrete nutrition strategy.

The gut microbiome test at Blue Longevity Clinic in Sofia is a DNA-sequencing analysis of a stool sample you collect at home. It reports bacterial diversity, the balance between key genera, inflammatory potential and short-chain fatty acid production. Results arrive in 3–4 weeks and are reviewed by a physician in English.
Conventional stool culture only detects species that grow in the lab — under 20% of gut flora. Molecular sequencing reads the genetic material of everything present and returns a full map of the ecosystem.
We report diversity (the single strongest marker of gut resilience), the ratio of protective to potentially problematic genera, butyrate-producing capacity, and markers of low-grade inflammation and intestinal permeability.
Low bacterial diversity appears consistently alongside metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, autoimmune conditions and depressive symptoms. Butyrate, the main fuel of colon cells, maintains gut barrier integrity and suppresses systemic inflammation.
Because chronic low-grade inflammation underlies cardiovascular, metabolic and neurodegenerative disease, we never read the microbiome in isolation — it is interpreted alongside hs-CRP, insulin, lipids and your food diary.
