Mental health, early-onset cancer, autoimmunity\u2014much of that risk is already visible in the gut years before a diagnosis code ever hits the chart. Most care models, benefits designs, and longevity strategies simply don\u2019t account for it. In this episode of Boombostic Health, I sit down with Paul Denslow, CEO & co-founder of Intus Bio, to dig into how GutID turns the microbiome into hard infrastructure: high-resolution gut data, a score you can track, and a way to see whether your interventions are actually moving risk\u2014not just spend. In this episode, we cover: Why microbiome disruption often precedes mental health issues and cancer How GutID converts millions of bacterial data points into a single, trackable gut score Why behavioral health and functional practitioners have been early adopters The problem with \u201cjust take a probiotic\u201d in the absence of baseline gut data How AI + high-resolution microbiome testing open a real prevention window What a serious prevention and longevity strategy looks like when gut data is included If you\u2019re responsible for care delivery, benefits strategy, or long-term risk, ignoring this data layer is no longer a neutral decision. Watch the full conversation to see why mental health, cancer, and your \u201cbacterial you\u201d belong at the center of modern prevention.   About our guest: Paul Denslow is the CEO and co-founder of Intus Bio, the company behind GutID. With a background in finance and big data, Paul partnered with co-founder Mark Driscoll, a pioneer in next-generation sequencing, to build a platform that treats the microbiome as a hard data problem\u2014not a mystery. Intus Bio\u2019s GutID test and Titan 1 platform are used by clinicians and practitioners to generate high-resolution microbiome data that can be translated into actionable prevention and disease insights.
