Welcome friends of Brittany Beaver – Gut Health Test For Families – Tiny Health

Tiny Health is the first gut health test created for mom and baby

Tiny Health offers at-home gut tests for the whole family. We focus on a baby’s first 1,000 days to address imbalances that may cause chronic conditions such as allergies. With comprehensive shotgun metagenomics sequencing, Tiny Health gives parents key insights and actionable recommendations to improve a baby’s lifelong health.

Developed by researchers from

The first 1,000 days of your baby’s life can be tough

Tough on them. And on you, too. The uncertainty. The second-guessing. The sleepless nights. The constant wondering that you may get it “wrong” even though you do everything “right.” Babies don’t come with an instruction manual. And it’s hard to know why your baby isn’t feeling their best.

The answer is in your baby’s gut

Fussiness, sleep issues, reflux, eczema, food allergies, and even some long-term conditions like asthma, and type 1 diabetes link back to your child’s microbiome development during these crucial first 1,000 days.

Their immune system may need a little help

A C-section birth, antibiotics, formula use, or living in an over-sanitized, urban environment can impact your baby’s immune system. Tiny Health helps you pinpoint any potential issues and jumpstart their health.

• Levels of bacteria that support metabolic health and fight inflammation.
• If you have any red flags for leaky gut, such as high levels of mucus-degrading species or opportunistic pathogens.
• Identify any common parasites or bacteria that can cause infection.

Baby Gut Health Test: Single Kit

With this test you will learn:

• Your child’s immune strength and whether or not they carry bacteria to protect the gut. Signs that these are missing include colic, fussiness, gas, and sleep issues. ‍
• If your baby has microbiome biomarkers for eczema, allergies, and asthma. Research shows that these disorders may be preventable and reversible - if you catch them in time.
• If your baby has conditions associations for sleep, constipation and more .
• What microbes has mom transferred to baby during birth? This process is called seeding and you want to see more than a 60% transfer within the first 6 months.

Child Gut Health Test: Single Kit

Vaginal Health Test: Single Kit

With this test you will learn:

• Your vaginal CST, or community state type.  This lets you know which bacteria dominate your vaginal microbiome.
• Whether or not you harbor Lactobacillus, a group of bacteria that keep your vaginal tract healthy. We like to see low diversity and high levels of Lactobacillus.
• Identify microbes that frequently show up in common vaginal infections, such as bacterial vaginosis and yeast infection.
• Flag unfriendly bacteria that may increase vaginal inflammation and preterm birth.

The first gut test designed for babies

Tiny Health was founded by a mom who wanted to test her baby’s gut trajectory after her C-section and couldn’t find a straight answer in the market. Our test is the first to measure what matters most to babies. Other gut tests use “adult reference ranges,” which are entirely different from babies' ranges and lead to incorrect conclusions.

Jessica W. Was very knowledgeable and helpful! Excited to implement this action plan!

Deborah was knowledgeable and helped me to understand my results and gave me some additional steps forward.

I love Tiny Health! The test was simple with detailed instructions. They have a quick turnaround time and kept me updated with the samples status. Very thorough results with insightful recommendations. Can't recommend enough!!

This was my second test ordered by my doctor. The changes prescribed after the first test made significant improvements in my gut health as evidenced by the second test. I plan to do another test several months from now to continue tracking changes and improvements. These tests are invaluable in diagnosing and improving gut health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this gut test only for babies? Can older kids test too? Can I test other family members?

Our gut health test can be used by any family member. We’re the first-ever gut health test for babies 0-3 years of age, but we also have gut health insights for children 3-17 years old, and regular adults as well as during pregnancy. We also have a vaginal health test.

How does testing work? What do I have to do?

We use a stool test collected with a lab-certified sampling swab from soiled tissue paper. The process is simple and unlike other tests on the market, Tiny Health doesn't require gloves, a spoon-like collection device, or that you handle stool at all, other than on a regular tissue paper.

While microbiome testing does not test for food allergies, we can show associations between your baby’s gut microbiome and their symptoms of eczema or allergies. Or the potential risk of these conditions developing.
