Viome is a gut microbiome testing service that is using artificial intelligence and machine learning to suggest personalized nutritional recommendations. The goal is to balance the gut microbiome inside the human body to improve one’s digestion.Stephen Barrie of Viome sits down to talk with us about the microbiome, its origin and its importance to everything in life.
