The abridged guide to picking Throne or microbiome tests — and why you might want both.
Your microbiome test gave you a portrait. You needed a documentary.
Millions of people have mailed off a stool sample, gotten a bacteria breakdown, and felt like they finally understood their gut.
They didn't. They got a snapshot. One frozen moment in a system that changes every minute.
Here's what the test couldn't capture:
Your gut responds to everything — every meal, every bad night of sleep, every stressful Tuesday. The bacteria percentages on your test results? They've already shifted.
What your gut is doing right now looks nothing like what it was doing the day you took that test.
Wearables like WHOOP solved this problem for fitness a decade ago.
No one canceled their annual doctor’s visit when they got a Whoop. They kept both, because blood tests and wearables answer completely different questions.
Your gut has needed its own “wearable” ever since. Throne tracks every bathroom visit automatically, seeing those shifts as they happen. It automatically tracks stool and urine patterns, showing changes that one-time tests just can’t catch.
You don't need to choose between understanding what's in your gut and understanding what your gut is doing.
Now you can have both.
