Microbiome & Foodsensor
Microbiome & Foodsensor Analysis
The microbiome and the diversity of our intestinal flora play a key role when it comes to our health. This is because intestinal problems and food intolerances are widespread, but are often not taken seriously – or not even recognized in the first place. Often with serious consequences: Many chronic diseases – from cancer, Alzheimer’s and diabetes to joint, skin and depression disorders – can originate in the gut. In addition to stress and lack of exercise, our diet in particular affects this important organ.
Against this background, the microbiome & food sensor analysis is an essential part of diagnostics at the Swiss Center for Health & Longevity. We pay the utmost attention to your gut and its microbiome.
Your Microbiome
The human gut serves as an ecosystem for billions of microbes – the so-called microbiome. Each of us has a very individual microbiome. For example, identical twins share 99.5% of their genes, but only around 20% of their intestinal flora. This microbial community functions like an adaptive control system in our body.
The roles of the microbiome and the highly complex interrelationships are far from fully understood. The latest research findings point to metabolic, immunological, infectiological, neurological and epidemiological effects of the microbiome.
Good reasons to pay attention to your gut health.
The Gut – Taking Control of Your Weight, Your Mood, and Your Long-term Health
Gut & Microbiome
70% of all our immune cells are located in the intestine. 80% of all defense reactions take place here. However, in addition to its immense importance for our immune system, the gut also fulfills many other roles: Day after day, it breaks down nutrients from food that we need for an energetic, active life. It not only processes macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats, but also micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals. A healthy gut plays a key role in maintaining our health. If its function is impaired, the supply of nutrients no longer works.
The Source of boundless health
Can an intact, functional gut and a corresponding composition of the microbiome act like a fountain of youth for us? There is increasing evidence that this is the case. Scientists have discovered that the intestinal flora of people over 100 years of age has a characteristic composition of protective bacteria. If we look after our gut and keep it young, it will also keep us young. It has a preventive effect against dementia-related degradation processes in the brain, keeps our skin fresh and elastic, cares for our organs and protects the entire body from inflammatory processes.
The unhealthy gut
A leaky gut syndrome and a dysbalanced microbiome can be the root cause of a wide range of diseases and complaints. Above all, our lifestyle determines the condition of our gut and microbiome – both positively and negatively. Constant stress, medication, environmental toxins, fast food and gluten, too much sugar, stomach acid blockers, lack of exercise and poor eating and sleeping habits all affect the gut.
Gut issues and the microbiome are linked to various diseases!
- Allergies
- Food intolerances
- Chronic sinusitis
- Chronic exhaustion and fatigue
- Depression
- Neurodermatitis, psoriasis
- Skin diseases
- Cardiac arrhythmia
- Arthritis
- Fatty liver
- Bronchitis
- Asthma
- Increased susceptibility to infections
- Migraine
- Overweight
- Unclear joint and muscle pain
- Sleep disorders and much more
Treating Symptoms – Ignoring the Root Cause
Practically every one of the above-mentioned complaints and symptoms could be treated with some form of medication. However, treatment will only be successful if we get to the bottom of the root cause of the symptoms. And this very often lies in the diet and impaired bowel function.

The gut-blood barrier permeability
To ensure that no undesirable foreign substances, such as pathogenic germs from food or the environment, enter the body, the intestine has three interacting protective layers:
- The microbiome
- The intestinal mucosa with its mucosal cells, which in a healthy state are held tightly together by so-called tight junctions.
- The gut-associated immune system: it controls everything that enters our body as food.
The interaction of these three levels of protection forms the basis for healthy digestion, a functioning immune system and our well-being. Once this impenetrable barrier is weakened and permeable, more and more unwanted foreign substances enter the body uncontrollably – and cause far-reaching problems.
Leaky gut & silent inflammation
In leaky gut syndrome, the aforementioned gut-blood barrier is disrupted. Substances that do not belong there enter the bloodstream through the permeable intestinal mucosa. The immune system reacts by releasing inflammatory substances. One consequence is so-called silent inflammation.
These imperceptible, subclinical inflammatory processes in the body pave the way for a whole range of diseases, such as arteriosclerosis, chronic pain, autoimmune diseases (multiple sclerosis) and even tumors. Silent inflammation is also significantly involved in the premature ageing process – which we want to avoid at all costs as part of longevity!
