The Washington Post highlighted one of our customer’s success story using Tiny Health to heal her daughter’s gut condition yesterday. It was a piece on how consumers are turning to at-home testing platforms to take control of their own health because our healthcare system isn't always able to give us answers. It was a fair piece on the balance needed - not all platforms/companies are equal, and consumers should definitely do their own research to discern the credible from the snake oil. I like that someone in the comments section wrote: "be open (to new innovations), but also be smart." You can read the write-up here: https://lnkd.in/gv2kmveS --- After we found out about Angelika’s story ourselves through her interview with Lizza, WaPo’s amazing investigative journalist, we interviewed her to get the full case study. "Within six weeks, Annika's diapers were normal," Angelika recounted—the first time since she was born almost two years ago. Working with Tiny Health was so incredibly helpful. It changed everything. In Annika’s follow-up test, her good bacteria level was way up. The action plan worked—the overabundant [bacteria] had decreased,” Angelika said. Beyond digestive issues, Annika's speech had been delayed. But the next time Angelika and her daughter visited the speech therapist, they couldn't explain how she was suddenly talking in complete sentences. “I also saw her other symptoms resolving—her inflammation, gas, and irritability were gone. And it all coincided with her improved gut health," Angelika said. You can read more about her story here: https://bit.ly/tinyfpies --- While we can't promise to help everyone, Angelika's story of how we turned her child's health around is not uncommon. We've heard thousands of similar stories which fuels the Tiny team even more passionately to serve. Based on scientific literature, our children’s immune system is trained by their gut microbes in the first 1,000 days. Given that 80% of our immune system is in our gut, it is so crucial to make sure they have the right balance of bifidobacteria, acetate, HMO digestion and also a tiny bit of unfriendly bacteria. I knew I couldn’t wait the avg 10-15 years that it would take for the medical system to adopt the latest groundbreaking research in gut microbiome. Not for my family. I started Tiny Health to empower parents to detect potential gut imbalances and course correct early on to avert chronic conditions that are affecting 1 in 2 kids today. Even beyond the early days, as an adult, you can still modify your gut with proper nutrition, specific supplements and lifestyle changes. This can influence your resilience to illness, mental health, metabolic health, sleep, skin, digestion, health span and also longevity. You can’t change your genetics, but you can certainly change your microbiome, and your epigenetics.
It's heartwarming to hear how Tiny Health made such a positive impact on Annika's health. It's amazing to see how empowering individuals to take control of their health can lead to remarkable transformations.
Such inspiring success stories showcase the power of healthcare. Tiny Health's mission to empower and heal is truly commendable. 👏 🖤
