Kite Health | Brain-Body Roadmap for Kids and Families

The Science

Actionable recommendations explained in simple language.

Kite's Test Kit — a simple urine test that shows how your child's body is using energy and nutrients.

100+

Biomarkers measured

Body systems, one sample

Personalized action plan

Gut Health & Microbiome

What gut bacteria and yeast are producing, and what of that gets absorbed into the bloodstream.

Mitochondrial Energy

How well the cells are making energy — the body's fuel system.

Neurotransmitter Metabolism

How the body is using and breaking down key brain chemicals like dopamine and serotonin.

Detoxification & Protection

How well the body protects and repairs itself from environmental and other stress.

Environmental Exposures

How environmental exposures including diet, medications and others might be affecting the overall health.

Nutrients & Vitamin Needs

How well the body is getting nutrients and vitamins it needs to function at its best.

How it Works

Three steps. No blood draw. No guesswork.

Order your at-home kit

Collect a sample in 5 minutes

A simple, non-invasive urine collection at home — no needles, no clinic visit, no blood draw.

Get a plan you can act on

Results become a personalized action plan you can follow — and bring to your child's care team.

The App

Track improvement over time

Sleep, gut, mood, and attention, tracked over time — with a plan that updates as your child does.

Every result, explained

Each domain comes with an evidence-level rating and a plain-language explanation of what it means for your child.

Manage it all from your home

A plan that fits your actual life

Steps adapted to picky eating, sensory needs, and the routine you already have — not a generic protocol.

About Us

Kite started with the same question you're asking

We built Kite because too many families get a diagnosis and then hit a wall — with no clear, biological starting point for what to do next. We're building the tool we wished we'd had.

“As a mom, I ran nearly every test available to my child yet I was still overwhelmed, confused, and unsure where to begin—so I founded Kite Health to help other parents connect the dots and move forward with clarity, confidence, and hope.”

FAQ

Let's answer the hard question directly

Everything you need to know.

Is this a diagnostic test for autism, ADHD or any other neurodiverse condition?

No. Autism and ADHD are clinical diagnoses. Kite provides wellness insights to help families and practitioners understand gut-brain-metabolic patterns.

Does this test identify the root causes of my child’s health issues?

No one test can address all root issues. While our urine test focuses on metabolic answers, it also helps identify when additional testing may be useful, such as stool tests to assess microbiome composition, blood tests to evaluate nutrients and inflammation, hormone panels to understand stress patterns, and genetic testing for deeper insights.

How is this different from a microbiome test?

Microbiome tests focus on which microbes are present. Kite looks at what those microbes are actually doing—by measuring metabolites and metabolic activity—so results are easier to act on and track over time.

My child is sensory-sensitive or a picky eater—can we still do this?

Yes. The kit and guidance are designed for neurodiverse families and “real life,” not perfection. By completing the diet and lifestyle questionnaires, Kite can learn about your family’s lifestyle and build those into your action plans.

Is it evidence-based?

Yes. Kite is grounded in peer-reviewed research and established laboratory testing. We look at biomarkers related to nutrition, metabolism, gut health, energy production, and other biological pathways that research has associated with health and neurodevelopment. These results provide additional biological context that families can review with their healthcare team.

How can I cancel my membership?
