Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the impact of returning personalized diet data on dietary habits among participants. Using a biomarker-based assessment method, participants will provide stool samples to assess their diet and receive feedback on their dietary patterns. The study will involve infants, children, and adults, with a focus on how these dietary changes may influence gut microbiome structure and overall health outcomes. Participants will supply stool samples before and after receiving their diet data to measure any changes in eating behavior.
