In a healthcare world focused largely on managing symptoms rather than addressing root causes, Viome Life Sciences took a different path. Founded in 2016 by serial entrepreneur Naveen Jain—known for Moon Express and InfoSpace—the company started with a simple yet powerful belief:

What if chronic illnesses could be prevented or even reversed, instead of just managed?

Based in Washington, USA, Viome harnesses AI, systems biology, and RNA sequencing to turn biological data into personalized insights for nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle changes.

Smart Bundles: Consumer- and Company-Friendly

In 2023, Viome introduced bundled “Health Solutions” to streamline its offerings and reduce cost barriers:

• Gut Health Solution: gut test plus monthly supplements
• Oral Health Solution: oral test plus toothpaste and lozenges
• Full Body Health Solution: full-body test plus supplements and oral products

This approach not only enhanced customer loyalty and consistency but also created a win–win scenario.

Science Behind Viome: RNA and Preventive Molecular Science

At the core of Viome’s approach is Preventive Molecular Science (PMS). Unlike DNA tests that reveal potential, Viome’s RNA metatranscriptomics reveals what genes and microbes are actively doing in real time. Combined with AI, this enables precise recommendations for nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle.

The Viome App: Your Personal Health Dashboard

The Viome app is not just a report viewer—it is a tool for action. Through it, you can:

• Track health scores (energy, gut, inflammation, cognitive, immune, etc.)
• View personalized food and supplement suggestions
• Set and monitor health goals
• Review historical trends
• Receive notifications to stay on track or retest
  
  

Microbiome and PMS: Why Viome Is Focused on Women’s Cycles

Viome is paying special attention to the gut microenvironment during PMS. Research shows women with dysbiosis—an imbalance in gut bacteria—often experience more intense PMS symptoms. This imbalance can reduce mood-regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA.

To combat this, Viome recommends increasing probiotics, prebiotics, polyphenol-rich foods, leafy greens, and fermented foods during the luteal phase (1–2 weeks before menstruation) to help reduce bloating, mood swings, and emotional sensitivity.

How Testing Works – From Kit to Insight

When you order, Viome sends a clean, neatly packaged kit to your doorstep. Inside, you will find everything you need: sample collection tools, a simple registration barcode, clear instructions, and a prepaid return envelope. No guesswork—just follow the steps, ship it back, and within 2–4 weeks, your Health Scores and personalized guidance appear in the app.

Privacy and Data Security

Viome pledges never to sell or share your health data without your consent. All information is encrypted, HIPAA- and GDPR-compliant, and users have the right to delete any data or dispose of physical samples at any time.

Conclusion

Viome stands at the crossroads of technology, personalization, and prevention. Despite some price and support challenges, its pioneering RNA-based methodology—especially around gut-brain-health and women’s PMS—sets it apart as a unique and powerful health-tech tool for those who want actionable, personalized wellness.
