I long for the day I can take a pill that analyzes your gut and tells you what are the effects of your diet, and what you could do to improve ______ (concentration, tiredness, excrements, muscle buildup).

The term "microbiome" has become tired and 'frothy'. I advocate using the unglamorous but old school term "microbial flora" however futile and unimportant my effort may be.

How about a smart toilet rather than a pill for the daily diet analysis?


I agree. Microbial flora also sounds pretty, because flowers.

About the analysis... it's not about analyzing your poop, it's about analyzing how your digestive system works on what you intake.
