Microbiome Memo #13: Stop apologizing to us on Monday for what you did on Sunday. – Your microbiome

@fryktligefrank Thank you for the fantastic feedback! 🌟 We’re here to shift the paradigm.

@MyViome I've always found this " we are all 100% equal" very unlikely and you guys prove it. We are not clones. We are different individuals. Thanx for answering. Love your work.

Microbiome Memo #10: One-size-fits-all diets? We did not approve this message. – Your microbiome

Microbiome Memo #12: We are not a garbage disposal. We are an ecosystem. – Your microbiome

Diet isn’t “healthy” or “unhealthy.” It’s either aligned with your biology or it’s not. The same food can heal one person and harm another. Stop guessing. Start personalizing. #Microbiome #PrecisionHealth

Microbiome Memo #11: If you feed me chaos, I will return the favor. – Your microbiome

It’s a fair question, and the answer sits in an important gray area. There are very few true “universals” in nutrition. While certain behaviors like getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, and supporting a balanced diet are broadly beneficial, the way specific foods impact the body can vary significantly from person to person. For example, fiber is widely recommended, yet some individuals may experience digestive discomfort depending on their gut microbiome composition. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t eat fiber! It just means your intake needs to be personalized. Similarly, foods often labeled as “healthy,” such as leafy greens or fermented foods, may not produce the same benefits for everyone. On the flip side, there are ingredients generally associated with negative health outcomes such as high levels of added sugars, trans fats, and ultra-processed foods. However, even here, individual responses and tolerances can differ. This is why personalized nutrition matters. Instead of asking “What’s healthy for everyone?” the more useful question becomes: “What’s healthy for ME?”

@MyViome Is there anything... That is good for everyone? And I guess there is some things that are bad for everyone.

Microbiome Memo #09: If you want me to stop making you feel like trash, stop feeding me like I’m a trash can. – Your microbiome

Microbiome Memo #08: “Calories in, calories out.” We’re doing more than math down here. – Your microbiome

Microbiome Memo #07: “Fat makes you fat.” Biology is more complicated than that. – Your microbiome

Science doesn’t advance by protecting assumptions. It advances by questioning them. “Always question. Science advances because we challenge assumptions: including our own.” — Lan Hu #WomenInSTEM #PrecisionHealth

Microbiome Memo #06: Stop crowdsourcing our diet. – Your microbiome

Microbiome Memo #05: The comments section is not a nutrition plan. – Your microbiome

🍀 St. Patrick’s Day reminder: Not all green foods are lucky for everyone. Your microbiome determines which foods actually help you thrive. *Based on the latest 55K results from Viome users.

Your diet doesn’t just feed you. It feeds the microbes shaping your biology.

Microbiome Memo #04: We saw that “What I Eat in a Day” video. We are not that person. – Your microbiome

Einstein said: “The mind that opens to a new idea never returns to its original size.” The same is true in health science. Once you understand that biology is individual, generic health advice starts to look outdated. Precision health is the next paradigm.

Microbiome Memo #03: We thrive on diversity. In your diet. – Your microbiome

Microbiome Memo #02: One-size-fits-all diets do not fit us. – Signed, your microbiome

“Good” and “bad” bacteria is a children’s story. Real microbiology is about balance. And balance can’t be fixed with generic advice.
