Ixcela: The Internal Fitness Company

Co-founded by Drs. Erika Ebbel Angle and Wayne Matson, Ixcela is the leading internal fitness company. Ixcela helps you measure and improve internal fitness. The company’s primary mission is the promotion and facilitation of gut health through easy measurement of an individual’s biochemical state of several key metabolites, consultation regarding dietary habits and proprietary tailored supplements.

For a variety of lifestyle related reasons, the body’s internal biochemistry can be moved from a healthy balanced state to a state that can lead to chronic disease. These chronic conditions include Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, and diabetes. Additionally, poor internal fitness may cause less severe, but more common health issues such as irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux, and leaky gut.

The Ixcela approach is focused on restoring internal fitness by a sophisticated test which identifies key small molecules associated with the gut microbiome that are out of balance, and an individualized therapy which restores these molecules to their proper levels through a personalized program which includes proprietary supplements specifically targeted at improving gut microbiome health.

Ixcela has developed a pin-prick blood test which looks at the levels of 12 unique small molecule metabolites shown through experimentation, peer reviewed literature and clinical studies to be associated with gut microbiome health. Analysis of the blood spot is performed by proprietary technology including the Electrochemical Array (CoulArray) invented by our co-founder Wayne Matson. Ixcela is also developing unique supplements to help regulate the specific biomarkers that are not at optimal levels. Thus, Ixcela provides a comprehensive approach to a) determining gut microbiome dysbiosis and b) providing actionable solutions to restoring proper gut microbiome health and ultimately improving internal fitness.
