About us
Jona is on a mission to reveal the relationship between our gut microbiome and health. Microbiome science has been exploding over the last decade with thousands of scientific studies showing the link to human health including GI conditions, autoimmune conditions, oncology, metabolic disease, athletic performance, longevity, depression, anxiety, Parkinson’s Disease and more. Yet, so far the microbiome has been too complex and the science too fast moving to benefit patients in practice. Jona has developed transformative AI technology to analyze an individual's microbiome, interpret the results, and summarize what is known today about that individual's microbiome profile based on the scientific literature. With actionable insights and recommendations, individual's can get to the root source of understanding their health, alleviate symptoms, and prevent chronic disease. We believe that fully realizing the microbiome in medicine will create whole new diagnostics, change patient pathways, develop new therapeutic classes, alter our food supply, and extend human longevity.

This week’s Jona Journal dives into an important topic: air quality and your gut microbiome. How does air pollution affect gut health? What role do wildfires play in disrupting our bodies? And how exactly do pollutants break down and impact us? With California wildfires continuing to affect air quality, particularly in Los Angeles, it’s critical to understand the hidden ways this impacts our health. Poor air quality doesn’t just harm your lungs—it can influence your gut, triggering inflammation and affecting your overall well-being. Learn how your environment and your microbiome are connected in this week’s post. Stay informed, stay safe, and take care of your health.

Brianna Abbott's piece highlights a growing consensus that the alarming rise in cancer among younger people is related to the gut. Specifically, there is a connection between what you eat, which microbes are in your gut, what these microbes produce and colorectal cancer. Furthermore, disruptions to your circadian rhythms and light exposure can alter your microbiome and has also been linked to CRC. As we uncover more clearly the links between the gut microbiome and onset of colorectal cancer, it may be possible to alter the composition of your gut microbiome via diet, lifestyle or with targeted medications to lower cancer risk. Furthermore, the microbiome literature is increasingly showing that it may be possible to early detect a variety of cancers by analyzing the gut microbiome composition. At Jona we're starting this process by using AI to leverage all existing published knowledge to analyze the gut microbiome for links to cancer. As we gather more data, work with our partners and more science emerges, I am excited to be building toward a time where a variety of different cancers and other diseases can be detected early via the gut microbiome and intervened on when those interventions can have maximum impact to preserve a person's health. https://lnkd.in/e4U2pcdk
