1. Age *

Your microbiome shifts as you age. Age-associated shifts in the gut microbiome can contribute to diseases.

2. Do you have pets or contact with animals? *

Pet ownership is associated with differences in the human gut microbiota and is shown to reduce some disease risks.

3. Do you exercise? *

Exercise [independent of diet] can increase the number of beneficial microbial species, enrich microbial diversity, as well as enhance metabolism via microbiota.

4. Do you smoke? *

Smoking contributes to modifications of the oral, lung and gut microbiome, leading to various diseases.

5. Do you work at night? *

The circadian disruption by extended night work alters gut microbiota and partially elevate the risk for future metabolic and gastrointestinal diseases.

6. Hours of sleep *

Reduced, restricted and fragmented sleep can have negative impact on your gut microbiome, which induces potential metabolic and cognitive changes.

7. Do you feel stressed? *

Stress altered microbiome increase the level of inflammation in your gut, alter gut microbiota profiles, including lower numbers of potentially beneficial probiotics like Lactobacillus.

8. How much vegetables do you consume? *

Vegetables, especially the high-fiber ones, are what your gut microbes crave for and are key components of microbiome diet.

9. How often do you eat fruits? *

High fruit intake is positively associated with beneficial human gut microbiome, decreased risk of chronic diseases.

10. How often do you consume fermented foods? *

Fermented food consumers have subtle but high impact differences in their gut microbiota structure, linked to health benefits.

11. How many times do you consume non-vegetarian food in a week? *

Frequent eating of processed meat disturbs the bacterial community in the gut, significantly increase disease risks via microbiome.

12. If you are a non-vegetarian, do you primarily eat *

Studies have linked diets that are high in red meat to gut microbiome to in turn to colon cancer, heart disease, stroke, and other diseases.
While, some white/lean meat to positive benefits, when consumed moderately.

13. How often do you dine out or take out? *

Consuming too much fast food and other dine out foods can develop greater levels of destructive bacteria.

14. Do you suffer from any disease(s) or following conditions? *

Preexisting conditions, from moderate inflammation to chronic illnesses, can have a cyclical negative impact on gut microbiota.

15. Any of the medications? *

Many commonly used drugs are found to impact gut microbial features. While, proton-pump inhibitors, antibiotics and laxatives strongest negative associations.
