I was so shocked to find out that my Gut Score was 3, poor. So this is my baseline gut test. I'd grown up on a farm with an abundance and diversity of microbes, and I have no gut issues, no dysbiosis at all, just a stressful life. How could this be that my gut test is so poor in species and diversity? I try to eat healthy foods all my life. My husband grew up in the city eating hotdogs and canned foods, and his Gut Score was 6, fair (but better than poor!). He still eats fast food, junk food, and generally suffers dysbiosis and bloating, for decades. So I've made some changes to my diet, sleep, exercise, stress, and habits, and I'll retest in few months to see if my gut score improves. Hope. Test, don't guess.
