Better together
We don't believe in single tests in isolation, nor DIY guesswork. That's why your NiaHealth clinician is here to help you identify patterns, personalize action plans, and help you feel better now while lowering risk for tomorrow.
Why it matters
Your gut is your body’s command centre for immunity, energy levels, digestion, and even mood. A healthy microbiome means better energy, less bloating, and a stronger defense against chronic disease.
Consider if you...
Track compounding progress
Every specialty add-on test includes a human clinician who reviews your data and writes a hyper-personalized report.
The best part? All your data is in one place on your secure dashboard: your blood biomarker results, integrated wearable & health app data, and specialty test scores, together for compound effect, and guided by human clinician-written insights.
Prioritizing fermented foods and those high in inulin is paying off. Your Bifidobacterium levels have increased, and your Antibiotic Resistance Abundance Index has reduced.

No - we do not prescribe medication. However, we do provide, where applicable, suggestions. For interventions (including medications and supplements), we include a note of suggestions that you can discuss with your current medical team. Prescriptions are left to their discretion.
We offer advice to enhance your current health state, emphasizing prevention through exercise, nutrition, sleep, and emotional well-being but not medical management of existing illness. If we discover any incidental health issues, we provide suggestions for discussion with your primary care provider. While our suggestions impact overall health and various chronic conditions, comprehensive medical management of existing illnesses remains the responsibility of your current medical team.
It isn't an absolution you cannot do NiaHealth for one year after pregnancy. Here is the nuance: NiaHealth isn’t designed for use during pregnancy as pregnancy brings big changes to your hormones, metabolism, and other body systems. These shifts make it hard to interpret biomarker data accurately. During pregnancy, your healthcare team is the best source for lab testing—they’ll focus on the specific markers that reflect the health of both you and your baby.
It is your choice as to when you have your next NiaHealth draw after pregnancy. After birth, your body goes through a recovery phase often called the “fourth trimester.” During this time, your hormones and metabolism gradually start returning toward their usual patterns. Many people notice things begin to stabilize around three months postpartum, though everyone’s timeline is a bit different.
If you’re breastfeeding, your body will continue to experience changes. Because of this, it can take longer for your system to fully settle. Between about three months and up to a year after delivery, your results from any biomarker-based health tools—including NiaHealth—can still fluctuate. By around one year postpartum, many people’s biomarkers are closer to their baseline, which makes results more reliable for understanding long-term health patterns.
