Welcome to The Microbiome Clinic
🦠 How the Clinic Works
What We Treat
Gut
IBS/IBD, SIBO, Bloating, Constipation & Diarrhoea
Your gut is home to trillions of microbes that influence digestion, energy, and overall wellbeing. When it’s out of balance, you might notice bloating, irregular bowel habits, or that “something just isn’t right” feeling after meals.
Skin
Acne, Eczema, Dermatitis, Rosacea & Psoriasis
Breakouts, rashes, and flare-ups don’t always start on the surface. An imbalanced gut can drive inflammation that shows up on your skin. By restoring balance internally, we can support clearer, calmer skin.
Vagina
Recurrent UTIs, Thrush and Bacterial Vaginosis
The vaginal microbiome protects against infections and discomfort. When it’s disrupted, issues like recurrent thrush, bacterial vaginosis, or UTIs can appear. Looking after your microbes can mean fewer interruptions to daily life.
Mouth
Bad Breath, Tooth Decay, Gum Disease & Ulcers
Bad breath, bleeding gums, or recurring dental issues aren’t just about brushing and flossing — your mouth has its own microbiome too. When it’s balanced, it protects your teeth, gums, and even your gut.
Mood
Stress, Anxiety & Low Mood
Ever had “butterflies in your stomach”? That’s your gut–brain connection at work. An imbalanced gut can contribute to stress, low mood, and brain fog. Balancing it can help your mind feel clearer and calmer.
Weight-Loss
Cravings & stubborn weight
The microbes in your gut help decide how food is digested, how you store fat, and even your cravings. Balancing them can make weight management feel less like a battle.
Aging & Longevity
Energy, immunity & healthy aging
As we age, the microbiome naturally changes — often leading to slower digestion, lower energy, and weaker immunity. By keeping your gut microbes balanced, you can support vitality, protect against age-related decline, and feel stronger for longer.
Chronic Disease
Diabetes, cancer & heart disease
The microbiome plays a central role in chronic disease by regulating immunity, metabolism, and inflammation; when disrupted, this imbalance contributes to conditions like diabetes, autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Our Chief Medical Officer
Dr. Paul Froomes
BMedSci, MBBS, FRACP, MD
Dr. Froomes is a gastroenterologist with over 30 years of experience helping patients with complex gastrointestinal disorders. Trained at Monash University and the RACP, he has gone on to complete advanced training in endoscopy and oesophageal physiology, as well as a master’s degree in liver disease at the University of Melbourne.
Beyond his hospital work, Dr Froomes has dedicated his career to finding the root-causes of gut issues like IBS, reflux, and inflammatory bowel disease.
He co-founded The Microbiome Clinic™, a new age medical practice built to make his decades of learnings about the microbiome accessible to more patients and practitioners.
After seeing countless people struggle with conditions that didn’t improve under standard care, he recognised the need for a model that treats the root cause—imbalances in the microbiome—rather than just the symptoms.
