Cylinder:

Cylinder is a benefit to help you maintain a healthy gut. A healthy gut helps maintain overall health, weight management, sleep quality, joint health, how we manage stress and anxiety, and more.

What can Cylinder do for you?

• Provide relief from common digestive issues. Do you experience gas? Bloating? Heartburn? The Cylinder app, together with a dedicated Cylinder Dietitian, can help you ease common symptoms without giving up all the foods you love.
• At-home gut microbiome kit and analysis ($150 value at no cost to you). Discover which bacteria are living in your gut, and work with a dedicated Dietitian to understand what that means for your health, based on the latest science.
• Relief from stress and anxiety. Your gut is where 95% of serotonin is produced – commonly known as the happiness hormone. Cylinder includes direct access to a care team who will share proven tools for managing stress and anxiety.
• Virtual visits with physicians. No co-pays, no commute, no waiting rooms. Complete care for digestive health symptoms and conditions. Access to physicians including internists and gastroenterologists, all through the app.

Cylinder is available to A&M System employees, spouses, retirees, or dependents (ages 18+) who are enrolled in a A&M care or J Plan. Graduate student employees enrolled in the Grad Plan and retirees enrolled in the 65 Plus Medicare Advantage Plan are not eligible.
