Microbiome testing has exploded in popularity, with patients often arriving in our offices armed with detailed reports and lots of questions. Yet the science and clinical application of these tests are still evolving, and interpreting results is not as straightforward as their marketing suggests. This presentation will examine the current landscape of gut microbiome testing, exploring both the promise and the pitfalls.
We'll discuss limitations in accuracy, the absence of universally accepted "healthy" microbiome standards, and the gap between research findings and actionable nutrition recommendations. RDs will learn how to approach microbiome test results critically, communicate findings (and their limitations) to patients with clarity and compassion, and guide patients toward evidence-based strategies for supporting gut health using validated methods.
By the end, you'll feel confident navigating these conversations, protecting your patients from unnecessary cost or confusion, and reinforcing your role as the trusted authority on nutrition care.
