How we source & review our content

Neurobiome publishes education about the gut-brain axis. Here is who writes it, where the science comes from, the limits of what we claim, and how we keep it current.

Who publishes Neurobiome

Neurobiome (neurobiome.org) is an independent science resource on the gut-brain axis. Our content is grounded in a CLIA/CAP-certified laboratory and a decade of whole-genome microbiome sequencing — reading a person's gut microbiome and building a custom formulation from it. That work spans ~18,392 people, ~23,000 microbiome tests, and ~40,000 custom formulations, rated 4.4★ across ~318 reviews. That operating experience — real people, real sequencing, real formulations — is what we bring to explaining the gut-brain axis.

Who reviews it

Every article is reviewed for scientific accuracy and structure-function compliance by the Neurobiome Science Team, and signed off by a named reviewer: Craig J. Rouskey, MSc — a Master of Science in Molecular Microbiology & Immunology and Founder of Flore (formerly Sun Genomics), the personalized-probiotics company built on whole-genome microbiome sequencing. He reviews gut-brain content for scientific accuracy and wellness (DSHEA) scope. He is not a physician, and nothing on Neurobiome is medical advice or intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Where our science comes from

We source from primary, publicly verifiable evidence:

• Peer-reviewed literature — indexed on PubMed/NCBI. Every claim of fact links to the specific study by PMID in the article's References section.
• Government and public-health bodies — e.g. the NIH, the NIH Human Microbiome Project, and comparable national health agencies.
• Our own operating data — described transparently and only in aggregate; we never present internal figures as a substitute for published science, and we do not disclose proprietary methods or any individual's data.

We do not cite the study unless we have read it, and we do not invent statistics, studies, or citations. Where evidence is early or mixed, we say so.

The limits of what we claim (structure-function only)

Neurobiome content is educational information about how the body normally works — the structure and function of the gut, the microbiome, and the gut-brain axis. Under the U.S. Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), that is the scope we stay within.

We do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and nothing here is medical advice or a substitute for a licensed clinician. Probiotics and foods are described as interventions people can try, not as therapies for a condition. If you have a medical concern, talk to your doctor.

How we keep content current

Pages carry a “Last updated” date. We revisit content when new peer-reviewed evidence changes the picture, when a linked source is retracted or superseded, or on a periodic review pass. Corrections are made in place; if a correction is material, we note it.
