Tiny Health is the leading at-home microbiome health platform for every stage of life.

We started with infants because the first 1,000 days are a critical window for lifelong health. Today, we serve everyone: from babies to parents, to adults focused on prevention, chronic conditions, and longevity.

“Tiny” doesn’t mean tiny humans — it means the tiny, invisible microbes in your gut and vaginal microbiome that shape your health at every age.

“I took charge of my own and my children’s gut health because I knew the microbiome was foundational for lifelong health. What started as a mission for my family has grown into a platform helping almost a hundred thousand families and adults take control of their health.”

Introducing the first microbiome tests uniquely designed for families

Vaginal test for mom

Keep your vaginal health in check to ensure you pass friendly bacteria to your baby at birth, and lower risk for pregnancy conditions.

Gut test for mom or dad

Discover if you have the microbes essential for your baby’s immune system and if you are able to pass them on.

Gut test for baby

The first colonizer bacteria can tell if baby had the right start. 3m, 6m, 12m are also important biomarkers to track as their gut rapidly evolve.
