About Service
Your gut microbiome is one of the most powerful systems in your body. It affects your metabolism, energy, weight, mood, immunity, inflammation, and even your risk of chronic disease.
But until recently, it was nearly impossible to understand what was happening inside it.
Previvo’s Microbiome Testing, powered by Jona Health, maps your unique gut ecosystem with cutting-edge precision — giving you clear answers about what’s driving bloating, fatigue, food sensitivities, weight changes, skin issues, and inflammation.
This test transforms guesswork into a personalized, science-backed strategy for healing and optimizing your gut.
What the Microbiome Test Measures
Gut Bacterial Diversity
Your overall microbial balance — a major predictor of longevity and resilience.
Beneficial vs. Harmful Bacteria
Identifies overgrowths, deficiencies, and imbalances linked to:
- IBS
- Bloating
- Constipation or diarhea
- Weight gain
- Mood changes
- Brain fog
- Immune dysfunction
Inflammation Markers
Detects intestinal inflammation and early signs of gut dysfunction
Digestive Function Markers
Insights into enzyme efficiency, nutrient absorption, and gut barrier health.
Short-Chain Fatty Acids
Critical compounds for metabolism, brain health, and immune strength.
Food Sensitivity & Intolerance Patterns
Indicates how your microbiome responds to certain foods. This is one of the most comprehensive gut analyses available in Canada
Why Gut Health Matters
Naturopathic medicine supports the systems that determine your long-term health
Your microbiome affects:
- Immune system strength
- Digestion & nutrient absorption
- Hormone regulation
- Inflammation & chronic disease risk
- Metabolic health & weight
- Energy levels
- Skin clarity
- Mood & cognitive health
A disrupted microbiome can lead to unexplained symptoms that traditional testing often misses. This test gives you answers — and a plan.
Who This Test Is For
Ideal for individuals experiencing:
- Bloating or digestive discomfort

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this test diagnose medical conditions?
No. Microbiome testing is a wellness and functional health tool, not a diagnostic test. It does not detect or confirm medical diseases. Instead, it identifies patterns related to digestion, inflammation, metabolism, immunity, and food reactivity — offering insights that guide targeted, personalized care.
Do I need to be a Previvo patient to order the test?
No. Anyone can order the microbiome kit. However, results are most impactful when interpreted by a Previvo clinician who can explain the findings, connect them to your symptoms, and map out next steps for gut, metabolic, or immune optimization.
How long do microbiome results take?
Results typically arrive within 2–4 weeks, depending on the lab’s processing timeline. Once your report is ready, you can review it independently or book a consult with a Previvo clinician for deeper analysis and an actionable plan.
Is microbiome testing covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans do not cover microbiome testing, as it is considered a wellness and longevity assessment. Payment is typically out-of-pocket. If you need documentation for personal or HSA records, we provide itemized receipts.
Is the microbiome test easy to do?
Yes. It’s a simple at-home kit with clear, step-by-step instructions. Collection is done via a stool sample taken at home, and takes only a few minutes; everything you need — including prepaid return packaging — is included in your kit. No clinic visit required.
What does microbiome testing measure?
Depending on the panel, it may reveal:
- Gut bacteria diversity and balance
- Inflammation markers
- Digestive efficiency
- Metabolite production
- Food sensitivity patterns
- Immune system interactions
- Potential contributors to bloating, fatigue, or weight challenges
These insights help craft a precise nutrition, supplement, and lifestyle plan.
