Editor's note 03/06/2024: When I first published this article I referenced a lack of peer-reviewed materials supporting Zoe, as I was unaware of the recent publication of Zoe's first peer-reviewed METHOD study. While this goes some of the ways to develop my confidence in the science, it's also worth highlighting commentary on the study from specialists like Dr. Nicola Guess of Oxford University and media such as The Guardian in the UK. The rest of this article remains as originally published.
When I first heard about Zoe and its suite of at-home gut and blood-glucose tests, I was hugely skeptical. Its combination of gut and blood testing paired with a membership-based app promise to help you “make smarter food choices for your body” by scoring different foods against your results, and offering tailored nutrition insights and recommendations.
