welche stoffwechseltypen gibt es — can a microbiome test help?

The concept of 'metabolic types' (e.g., carbohydrate type, protein type) is popular in lifestyle media and marketing but lacks robust scientific validation. No standardized, clinically validated test can assign a definitive metabolic type. A microbiome test can reveal the composition of your gut bacteria and may offer clues about digestion or inflammation, but it does not define a 'metabolic type' in a way that supports strong, evidence-based dietary advice. Current research is mostly associative; clinical guidelines are absent. For a meaningful assessment of your metabolism, consider established biomarkers such as fasting glucose, HbA1c, triglycerides, or hs-CRP, and discuss them with a healthcare provider. A standalone microbiome test is insufficient for metabolic typing.
