At the Rotary Club’s Dec. 3 meeting, research scientist Ryan Toma of Viome described the three-year old company’s research and success as it usesa systems biology approach, an individual’s microbiome (‘gut’) and metabolism, to reduce and prevent chronic disease, which now accounts for roughly 90% of today’s healthcare services.  Viome is a spin-off from Los Alamos National Laboratory; its testing leads to personalized recommendations for nutrition and lifestyle.  Viome offers tests in gut
intelligence, food sensitivity, gene expression intelligence, and saliva intelligence, concentrating on gene expression (RNA), not genetics (DNA). Viome is located at 81 Camino Entrada, just behind Los Alamos Landscape. For more information, go to:  www.viome.com, or call (505) 695-7801. Photo by Linda Hull
