Longevity starts in your gut

A one-hour, one-on-one consultation with Dr. Kumkum Patel to understand your JONA microbiome assessment, connect your results with your health history and goals, and create a personalized plan for your next steps.

** Not available to New York residents.

What your JONA assessment can reveal

A more complete picture of your health — beyond the gut.

Gut Microbiome

Understand patterns related to microbial diversity, beneficial bacteria, and opportunistic or pathogenic markers.

Inflammation

Identify markers that may point to inflammatory activity and gut-immune balance, including relevant gut and inflammatory markers.

Hormone Balance

Explore patterns related to hormone metabolism, including estrogen metabolism and stress-related markers.

Mitochondrial Function

Gain insight into cellular energy production and antioxidant capacity, including markers such as CoQ10 and ATP production.

These results are intended to be interpreted in the context of your individual health history and consultation with Dr. Patel.
