Microbiome Self-Experimentation

By measuring microbiome and blood-marker changes, individuals may be able to observe how different interventions affect their own biology. Direct-to-consumer microbiome products make self-experimentation more feasible. Consumers can access microbiome sequencing tests, blood testing, and other measurement devices to compare fasting and fast-breaking strategies. A concrete self-experiment design involves taking a defined set of probiotics, fasting, then testing different fast-breaking approaches across separate measurement periods.
