The science of gut-brain
Neurodiverse kids often experience digestive issues, mood swings, sleep struggles, and sensory challenges. Kite Health test helps uncover imbalances in gut bacteria and their byproducts (metabolites) that may be silently contributing to these symptoms.
Unlike standard microbiome tests, this one shows real time activity— what the microbes are producing and how that impacts brain function, inflammation, and behavior. It’s a dynamic snapshot of the gut-brain connection.

FAQ
At least half of autistic children experience chronic gut issues. Research shows that distinct gut-bacteria imbalances can play a major role. These hidden factors may influence behavior, sleep, and overall comfort. By testing gut and metabolic health, we provide clear answers that help explain symptoms and guide targeted support.
We designed it for ages 4-9 because this is when gut-brain interventions show the biggest impact. Contact us if your child falls just outside that range—we still may be able to help.
Every child is unique, but parents often report improvements in mood or GI comfort within 4-8 weeks of following their personalized plan. In some cases, changes are significant and, in others, it takes longer to see small, incremental improvements. Our team of specialist practitioners are available to help interpret these changes and provide specific recommendations.
