Our Story
BloomYourGut was born from a personal struggle with gut health and a frustration with the lack of reliable, evidence-based information available online.
Like many of you, I spent years struggling with unexplained digestive issues: the bloating after every meal, the fatigue, the brain fog, the constant anxiety about what I could and couldn't eat.
I saw multiple GI specialists, tried countless elimination diets, and spent hundreds of dollars on supplements that promised miracle results. What I found most frustrating was the disconnect between what influencers promoted online and what the actual research showed.
With a background in nutrition research from the University of Washington and over 10 years of studying the gut microbiome, I decided to build what I wished existed: a platform that translates complex research into practical, actionable guidance.
BloomYourGut is the result of that vision. Every article is sourced from PubMed, every recommendation is evidence-based, and every tool is designed to help you understand your unique gut health patterns.
Because you deserve better than guesswork when it comes to your health.
Our Mission
To make evidence-based gut health information accessible, actionable, and personalized for everyone — regardless of their background, location, or budget.
Our Values
Evidence Over Anecdote
We prioritize peer-reviewed research over personal testimonials. When evidence is mixed, we say so.
Empathy First
Living with gut issues is tough. We build tools with compassion, understanding that every person's journey is unique.
Transparency
We're honest about what we know and don't know. We clearly label affiliate content and never compromise editorial integrity.
Community
Gut health can be isolating. We're building a supportive community where people can share experiences and learn together.
How the Platform Works
BloomYourGut combines three pillars to support your gut health journey:
- Research-backed articles: Our content pipeline starts with scanning PubMed for relevant studies, then translating the findings into accessible, actionable articles. Every claim is cited with its source.
- Smart tracking tools: Our symptom tracker, food diary, and supplement logger help you identify patterns in your data. Our GutScore algorithm synthesizes your tracking data into a single, actionable metric.
- AI-powered insights: Our AI gut assistant can answer your questions, identify correlations in your data, and provide personalized recommendations — all grounded in published research.
