"Uoverskuelig og ikke konkret test"

Havde valgt den dyreste expert test, men jeg synes desværre slet ikke, at resultaterne var brugbare. Resultaterne virkede meget uoverskuelige og ikke særlig konkrete (kan meget bedre lide testen hos "gettested"). Desuden var referencerammen: "sunde europæere" i mine øjne lidt misvisende - hvad definerer overhovedet en sund europæer. Endelig synes jeg "design-delen" var fjollet om, at mit biom danser eller fester! Det gør det altså ikke - det er ikke en børnehave!

"Insights that triggered real change"

I took Unseen Bio’s test to gain insights into my gut microbiome after having had a tough year recovering from Epstein Barr virus, and feeling generally down and fatigued and under the weather. I was struggling with constipation, hormonal acne breakouts, and had difficulties maintaining my weight. I had no diagnosed illness and my bloodwork and thyroid had been declared healthy. I had been following a protein heavy diet, avoiding complex carbs, and doing intermittent fasting to help my body recover. I thought I was living quite healthily compared to many of my peers.

The Unseen Bio test results showed I had very reduced diversity in my gut (about 50% the diversity of a healthy European). Somewhat alarmed, I scheduled a follow-up with their nutritionist, Cecilia, who took me through the results and convinced me to focus on adding much more fibre to my diet and to add in fermented foods when possible. Her approach was balanced and professional and assuaged my worry.

After having read a couple of books on healing the gut, I started making a lot of changes to my diet and started exercising more. In addition to completely overhauling my diet I started taking probiotics.

After a while I started feeling great—more energized, and in a better mood. I was no longer suffering with frequent constipation and noticed that my quality of sleep had improved because I started waking up before my alarm went off. I also started slowly losing weight (5 kg over 5 months). As a bonus, my skin was clearer and I had less PMS, so the lifestyle change had done something good for my hormone balance.

Five months later I took the test again. I was expecting a big shift since I had made so many changes and felt great! However, my diversity score had not really changed, but I had 2 new beneficial strains, and one was the most dominant one in the gut. I reached out to Cecilia again to discuss these results as I felt a bit disappointed—I guess I wanted my score to reflect my effort and how great I felt. The conclusion is that I may be an “outlier” whose microbiome actually works best when less diverse. It’s possible that by feeding my microbiome more fibre the bacteria were able to function more optimally and have a better output of metabolites that then has a knock-on effect on how you feel and how your body behaves.

I’m so happy I took the tests, and followed Cecilia’s advice. I know I went “all in” on both diet and exercise, which is very difficult for a lot of people to do, but I strongly advice taking the test and scheduling a session with Cecilia so you can learn what your body needs and how you can support it better.

"Bra och intressant information från…"

Bra och intressant information från testet och mycket fin genomgång av resultaten med Cecilia, dietisten.

"God analyse og gennemgang"

Rigtig fin rapport og god gennemgang af data.
Jeg kan anbefale diætisten Cecilia, som er meget kompetent og giver sig god tid til at forklare data og svare på spørgsmål.

"Meget høj kvalitet af test og feed-back"

Jeg havde en personlig og detaljeret samtale med diætist, Cecilia, som gav svar på alle mine spørgsmål. Jeg har længe haft udfordringer med vægt og tarmfunktion og ville finde ud af om jeg skulle / burde tage probiotika. Jeg kan kraftigt anbefale denne testen og med den opfølgende samtale, så har man et meget fint billede af, hvor man gør det godt ift til diæten og hvor man kan optimere.

"Godt forløb!"

Jeg har haft en godt forløb hos UnseenBio, hvor især den afsluttende samtale med Cecilia var rigtig god. Hun gav mig et godt indblik i min rapport, og forklarede på en måde man kunne forstå :-) Kan varmt anbefale UnseenBio!

"Great to get an overview"

It is a very good service to get an overview of your gut health.

I took away one star because even though I logged my diet, due to a technical error it was not logged so the diet recommendation was missing in the final report.

I loved the recommendation on what supplements to take depending on what pro/pre biotics you are missing. And also what food encourages or discourages specific microbe growth.

Highly informative, but maybe missing a bit on the remedy actions section. This could be due to the fact that my gut looked very healthy though, maybe recommendations are more complex for people who have problems.

"Meget tilfreds med feedback fra…Cecilie"

Meget tilfreds med feedback fra Cecilie... fik gode og brugbare oplsyninger om min test, og gode råd mh til min kst... især tilfreds med, at Cecilie ikke på nogen måde er "fanatisk" mh. kost...
Mvh. Eva Sander

"Flot formidling af testresultat"

Godt formidlet feedback på testen, og virkelig god og detaljeret forklaring på scores af Cecilia. Det har styrket mig i mit arbejde med min krop.

"Great service"

Great service. I booked the dietician's follow-up which I thought was very helpful and valuable.
