6-Month Health Transformation
The Pod Pilot Study
Transform your gut health. Discover your genes. Optimise your healthiest self.
What is The Pod Pilot Study?
The Pod Pilot Study is a 6-month health transformation program designed to evaluate how daily consumption of The Podman’s handmade, polyphenol-rich, gut-supporting food products can influence gut health, genetics, and biological aging.
In collaboration with Mick The Podman (podman.com.au), this innovative pilot study investigates how a targeted, polyphenol-rich, plant-based superfood protocol can positively influence the gut microbiome, support measurable health improvements, and potentially slow biological aging.
By examining the interaction between diet, genetics, and gut microbes, this study offers valuable insights into how nutrition impacts long-term health and longevity, providing participants with evidence-based data to better understand and optimise their wellbeing.
The Study Measures
-
Gut microbiome diversity and composition, providing insight into digestive and immune health
-
Genetic predispositions related to nutrient absorption, disease risk, and individual responses to food and exercise
-
Biological age markers (optional), assessing how targeted lifestyle and dietary changes may impact the aging process
