A new study:
Can Nutrition and/or Supplements Permanently Reduce Weight?
Now accepting new participants
Study Description
Study Description: Metabolic conditions, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes are mostly caused by specific alterations in the composition and activity of the gut microbiome.
At Viome Life Sciences, we have developed a personalized nutrition program whose goal is to reduce weight by providing a diet that works with the individual’s gut microbiome.
The purpose of this study is to find out if nutrition can reduce obesity. Nutrition can consist of foods only, supplements only, or a combination of the two.
