“So incredibly helpful…”

“Danielle calmed me down because I was stressed out about my results. I found it so beneficial to share what I've been working on health-wise and she provided her expertise where it made sense.”

“My son’s eczema and gas issues resolved completely”

“Tiny Health has been a wonderful resource for our family. My son was born via c section and had very poor gut health at his initial test. He suffered from mild eczema and bad gas. After a month on the recommended probiotic from the team at Tiny Health both issues resolved completely and at his follow up gut tests 2 month later his gut biome had improved immensely. We are so glad to have this resource to help set up our son for the healthiest life he can have.”

Jessie M.

"We were simply interested in our baby's microbiome but then..."

"Initially we were simply interested in the microbiome of our baby, and he turned out to have low levels of bifidobacteria. We found that a few days of a recommended probiotic already solved that problem! Then things got more serious. At 6 months old he was hospitalized with severe pneumoniae, and needed the most extreme antibiotics to save his life. It took a while but after months of following Tiny Health's advice, no trace of potentially antibiotic-resistant bacteria are left!""

"Tiny Health is my greatest tip for expectant parents"

"As a mom to a child with allergies, I am grateful for these actionable suggestions to strengthen her microbiome. I only wish I had found it when I was pregnant: to identify and address my own low bifidobacterium levels, help me find strategies to navigate the use of cleaning products during COVID, and take restorative steps after her early antibiotic exposure."

"SO glad that I found Tiny Health, I only wish I had found them sooner!"

"I've worked with a functional medicine practitioner for years so I know how insanely important our gut health is, and I feel so great knowing that I'm taking steps now to ensure that my daughter's gut is as strong as it can be as she grows! I want to do everything I can to help her develop a strong immune system and Tiny Health has made that possible. The detailed action plan from her 7-day gut microbiome testing results made it so easy to find the right probiotic for her needs."

"Within days we saw a huge improvement in our baby's fussiness"

"I was at a loss when my 1+ month old son was suffering from colic and gas. It caused a lot of distress and sleepless nights. We decided to give Tiny Health a try because we suspected his microbiome might not be so good. They recommended that we get our baby on probiotics and within days we saw a huge improvement in his fussiness (he was sleeping better and wasn't crying as much!). We can't wait to do another sample when our baby is a bit older so we can see how his gut is performing."

Vijen T.

Walnut Creek, CA

“We were able to identify and take action on his condition early on”

“As a first-time mom, I didn’t realize the impact my diet during pregnancy could have on my baby’s microbiome.  Thanks to Tiny Health I was able to adjust my diet and take the necessary steps to ensure my baby’s health. After he was born, I tested him and followed Tiny Health’s recommendations.  After 4 months, we retook the test and saw a drastic improvement. We were able to take the proper preventative steps to make his immune system stronger.  We are so thankful!”

"Tiny Health provided me with clear data to support gut health"

"Tiny Health has really gone above and beyond in providing helpful and reassuring data from my vaginal and my baby’s gut test. With this pregnancy, I worked really hard on my gut health and I had no idea how much it affected the baby’s gut. If you are looking for the root cause of any issue or how to improve baby’s gut, Tiny Health's gut tests will lead you to those answers."

"My favorite part was the action plan provided. Specific, simple steps to rebalancing my microbiome. "

The best microbiome test for pregnancy

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 a healthy baby. Other microbiome tests use “adult reference ranges,” or outdated technology that leads 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 forwad.

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

I work in gut microbiome research myself and I am always excited to see more options for gut testing. It's amazing how user-friendly TinyHealth is and how much information they give you while remaining one of the most affordable gut tests on the market! I love that they have gut tests tailored to the entire family and to women through all stages of life. I have my whole family taking TinyHealth gut tests and I plan on using them for preconception, prenatal, postpartum and infant microbiome health as well.

I absolutely love Tiny health. The sample is easy to get and you get so much incredible and detailed information back! And the Action Plan is super easy to read!

Provides useful insights every time. Very grateful for this service. It has given us more power and control over our health.

I love all the information that comes with the results with action items! We’ve started a lot of the suggestions!

We did this for my son and are going to be doing for all of us. I love how it gives the full picture not what is wrong. Improvement with nutrition , specifics foods, how to help picky eaters! Lia has been amazing to deal with . I am looking forward to seeing results . We’ve recommended to four families already.

Very easy and simple to use.

Me and my wife ordered the Adult Gut Health tests as part of a promotion with our health company called Crowdhealth. We were amazed at how detailed the reports were and what action plans they gave us. My wifes microbiome is better than mine but we are both in good shape but have a few things we can work on. We have already implemented some of the recommendations and will be retesting in a few months to see what progress we made. It is so great to get so much detail on our gut and how to improve it.

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.

I've been wanting to get my microbiome tested for a few years now and because there were so many options didn't know much about these test and they were very expensive, I hesitated. But I'm so glad I found Tinyhealth! I got to meet my little partners in life and now understand how I can help them thrive and in return help me thrive as I age.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

The sample is then stored in the included container and zippered back and mailed back to us on the prepaid envelope included with your kit.

Should I take a gut and vaginal health test during pregnancy?

While many expectant mothers are encouraged to take a prenatal vitamin and DHA during pregnancy, less is often said about gut and vaginal health.

But as it turns out, the microbes you live with - on your skin and in your body - have a substantial impact on your baby’s development during pregnancy and later during a baby’s first two years.

This window of time is commonly referred to as a baby’s first 1,000 days.

In addition to important vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids, we now know that optimal immune and brain development takes place with the help of beneficial microbes that a baby inherits from their mother.

The timing of your Tiny Health test does matter. We recommend that you test in the first trimester and again in the third trimester of your pregnancy.

Does my microbiome affect my fertility or preterm birth?

Yes, the vaginal microbiome is important for both fertility and to avoid the preterm rupture of membranes and birth.

Studies comparing women who delivered preterm against women who delivered at term show some changes in the microbiome that can be related to preterm birth or to the early rupture of fetal membranes.

Women who deliver preterm usually have lower levels of protective Lactobacillus and higher levels of potentially pathogenic bacteria frequently associated with bacterial vaginosis.

High levels of Lactobacillus crispatus at 16 weeks of pregnancy have been found to protect against preterm birth. On the other hand, a significantly high percentage of women who deliver preterm have high levels of Lactobacillus iners.

My OBGYN said they’d never heard of the microbiome before. Why should I take a test?

Traditional medical practitioners don’t get training for microbiome health and as such, are not always familiar with the latest research and recommendations on this field of medicine.

However, our tests are developed by a team of leading pediatric scientists and physicians who are on the cutting edge of this impactful field.

Often, it’s up to your doctor to keep up on the latest research and most don’t have the time. In addition to this, it can take 10 - 15 years for academic research to be put into medical practice. So it’s possible that your doctor hasn’t heard about the gut microbiome.

‍ But that doesn’t mean that it’s something to wait on.

‍ Especially during pregnancy and the first few years of life. Recent studies show just how important the microbiome is to your baby’s immune development.

You can use microbiome testing to make sure your baby has bacteria that protect health.

Is this just something else to be anxious about during pregnancy?

Not at all. Unlike DNA testing, conditions associated with the microbiome are reversible and risks can be reduced by taking preventative measures. Instead of just being worried about it, you can take the recommended actions and get some well-deserved peace of mind.

Should I take a vaginal health test during pregnancy?

While many expectant mothers are encouraged to take a prenatal vitamin and DHA during pregnancy, less is often said about vaginal health, even though it plays a key role in a healthy pregnancy and birth.

The microbes you live with have a substantial impact on your own health and on the microbes your baby inherits at birth, a window commonly referred to as a baby’s first 1,000 days.

A healthy vaginal microbiome, rich in protective Lactobacillus, is associated with a lower risk of pregnancy complications and helps seed your baby with beneficial bacteria during a vaginal birth.

Timing matters. We recommend testing in the first trimester and again in the third trimester so you have time to take action if needed.

Does my microbiome affect my fertility or preterm birth?

Yes. The vaginal microbiome plays an important role in both fertility and in supporting a full-term pregnancy.

Studies comparing people who delivered preterm with those who delivered at term show microbiome differences that may be associated with preterm birth or early rupture of membranes.

Preterm deliveries are more often linked to lower levels of protective Lactobacillus and higher levels of bacteria frequently associated with bacterial vaginosis.

For example, high levels of Lactobacillus crispatus at 16 weeks of pregnancy have been associated with protection against preterm birth, while Lactobacillus iners shows up more often in those who deliver preterm.
