Data driven. Evidence based. The future of health is here.
At-home RNA testing for gut, oral, full-body, and oral/throat cancer screening, with personalized food and supplement guidance
About
Viome is a Bothell, Washington testing company built around RNA metatranscriptomics, a method that reads active gene expression from microbes and human cells in at-home stool, saliva, and blood samples. Its consumer lineup includes Gut Intelligence, Oral Health Intelligence, Full Body Intelligence, and CancerDetect - Oral & Throat, all processed through a CLIA-certified lab. The company pairs those reports with personalized food recommendations, optional supplement and oral-biotic subscriptions, clinician affiliate channels, and a Viome Life Sciences research arm.
What to Know
Signature approach
Viome's signature is RNA metatranscriptomics: sequencing active gene expression from stool, saliva, and blood samples, then translating that activity into health scores and food recommendations. The same platform supports wellness-focused Intelligence kits, personalized supplement and oral-biotic subscriptions, and the provider-reviewed CancerDetect screen.
What sets them apart
- RNA activity focus. Viome reads gene expression, so the report is built around what microbes and human cells are doing.
- One platform, several use cases. Gut, oral, full-body, and oral/throat cancer screening products all run through the same CLIA lab workflow.
- Research and clinician channels. Viome Life Sciences publishes studies, and the FrontrowMD network gives clinicians an affiliate route into the platform.
Before You Book
- Plan your review. Intelligence kits return app-based results and recommendations; bring a clinician into the conversation if you want medical context.
- Know the subscription shape. Solutions plans auto-ship personalized supplements or oral biotics and carry a 4-month minimum before pause or cancel.
- Treat CancerDetect differently. It is provider-reviewed, takes up to 5 weeks, and a detected result still needs confirmatory clinical evaluation.
- Check payment fit. Insurance is not accepted. Truemed HSA/FSA is advertised on Intelligence kits, but not on CancerDetect.

Frequently asked questions
What is RNA metatranscriptomics, and how is it different from DNA microbiome tests?
Many microbiome kits sequence DNA, which shows which organisms are present. Viome sequences RNA, which reflects active gene expression from microbes and human cells. That gives the report pathway activity and can change as diet, lifestyle, and biology change.
What sample types does Viome use?
Stool for Gut Intelligence; saliva for Oral Health Intelligence and CancerDetect; and a stool + saliva + blood combination for Full Body Intelligence. All samples are collected at home and shipped to Viome's CLIA-certified lab in Bothell, Washington.
How long do results take?
The three Intelligence kits return results in 2-3 weeks via the Viome App. CancerDetect can take up to 5 weeks because it includes a healthcare-provider eligibility review before the kit ships and a post-analysis provider review by PWNHealth.
Are these tests HSA/FSA eligible?
The three Intelligence kits are advertised as HSA/FSA eligible via Truemed. CancerDetect does not show the same HSA/FSA messaging in source.
Does Viome accept insurance?
All products are self-pay. Shop Pay for Intelligence kits and Affirm for CancerDetect offer 4-installment financing.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
The Intelligence kits are ordered directly and interpreted through the Viome App. CancerDetect includes a PWNHealth provider review for clinical appropriateness before the kit ships, then a second provider review after analysis.
Where does the Solutions subscription fit in?
Solutions wraps an Intelligence kit with auto-shipped, results-personalized supplements or oral biotics plus quarterly retesting. Plans are $99/mo for Gut, $109/mo for Oral Health, or $199/mo for Full Body, with a 4-month minimum before pause or cancel.
Is Viome a substitute for medical care?
The Intelligence kits are wellness products interpreted through the Viome App. CancerDetect has an FDA Breakthrough Device designation and a provider-review workflow, but a detected result still needs confirmatory diagnostic evaluation before clinical decisions are made.

Details
Accreditations
2CLIA
Viome operates a CLIA-certified clinical laboratory in Bothell, Washington, which is the US regulatory standard for clinical lab testing.
FDA Breakthrough Device designation (CancerDetect)
Viome CancerDetect - Oral & Throat received FDA Breakthrough Device designation, which can speed review for devices addressing serious unmet clinical needs. The test is marketed and operated as a CLIA lab-developed test, so confirmatory medical evaluation still matters after a detected result.
