What We Test
Our tests and program all include comprehensive multi-omic testing. These biometric data layers include your microbiome, metabolism (or both), and general (sleep, exercise and stress), nutritional and clinical factors that influence Lifestyle.
Unlike cheaper tests, vivaLAB processes all samples in NATA and ISO-accredited facilities. Metagenomic sequencing is performed by the Australian Genome Research and NutriPATH Laboratory facilities.
vivaBIOME assesses 100+ markers via metagenomic stool sequencing. vivaMETABOLITE, a urine-based cellular biochemistry assessment, covers 50+ markers. vivaLIFESTYLE covers diet, sleep, activity, stress and health history.
vivaOS, our AI health intelligence platform, combines your layers and generates personalised recommendations. Every recommendation is reviewed by accredited dietitians before release.
vivaINSIGHT report
The vivaINSIGHT report is available when you purchase a vivaINSIGHT test kit or vivaBALANCE 180 or 360 Membership and is supplied after each round of testing.
Your 20 page report is a highly detailed deep dive into your body's biometric performance and your lifestyle influences.
The first sets your baseline across your overall, nutrition, lifestyle, gut and metabolite scores, your enterotype, estimated energy requirement and micronutrient and mineral markers. Each report after that shows what has changed since your last test.
What biological drift can look like
Your body is in a constant state of flux. It can be exhausting trying to keep up, especially when you feel like you're doing all the right things but still struggling. A vivaBALANCE 180 or 360 Membership can support you through every stage of life, from menstrual health to menopause. Navigate your body's changes with confidence and clarity.
It's easy to ignore subtle changes in your health and put them down to stress or age. But these signs are often your body telling you something deeper is going on. Understanding where your biology is at now and tracking your drift over time with a vivaBALANCE Membership, can target the root causes of male health concerns, from low energy and weight gain to cardiovascular risks. Take control of your health, at any age.
In today's world, stress feels unavoidable. But when "being stressed" becomes your default state, it can take a serious toll on your health, happiness, and performance. Track your drift with a vivaBALANCE 180 or 360 membership to understand what you need to do to build resilience to stress over time. Go beyond surface-level solutions and start targeting the biological roots of anxiety and fatigue.
As the years go by, do you find yourself accepting certain issues as just a "normal" part of aging? It doesn't have to be this way. Using your biometric data from sequential testing, we create you a science-backed, personalised plan for healthy aging. A vivaBALANCE Membership moves beyond guesswork and helps target the root causes of age-related decline.
Frequently Asked Questions
Biological drift is usually invisible at first. A baseline taken while you feel well gives you a personal reference point, so later changes can be seen early and compared with your own normal rather than a population average.
vivaINSIGHT is the at-home test kit and 20-page report that sets your baseline. vivaBALANCE is the programme built on your results, with scheduled retesting, a Precision Nutrition Plan and updated recommendations.
vivaBALANCE 180 includes a baseline and a retest at four months. vivaBALANCE 360 includes a baseline and retests at four and ten months. On renewal of either membership, testing continues every six months.
No. Blood tests measure what is circulating at one moment and are ordered by your GP. vivaINSIGHT reads how your gut microbiome and cellular metabolism are functioning and how they change over time. The two are complementary. You can upload any recent blood test results when you undertake your lifestyle assessment which increases the accuracy of your biological snapshot.
Samples are processed in NATA and ISO-accredited facilities, including the Australian Genome Research Facility and nutriPATH Laboratory.
Decode Your Biology. Realise Your Potential.
Your first vivaINSIGHT test sets your baseline: one at-home kit, two lab-tested layers (vivaBIOME and vivaMETABOLITE) plus a lifestyle assessment, and a 20-page report. When you are ready to see your direction, vivaBALANCE retests you on a schedule.
