Developed by a Leading Australian Gastroenterologist & Microbiome Expert

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.

For those without answers about their health issues.

Our doctors go beyond a standard blood test — Testing your microbiome provides granular insight into the root-cause of your health concerns.

Suffer from bloating, IBS, skin flare-ups, thrush, or fatigue?

The missing link could be your microbiome—the trillions of bacteria living in your gut, mouth, and beyond.

Our doctors diagnose and treat the root cause of these problems using evidence-based microbiome medicine.

The Research

Why should I care about my microbiome?

The human gut microbiome has been linked to a wide range of disorders, including IBS, IBD, obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and heart attack, most skin diseases, bacterial vaginosis, UTIs, thrush, and neurological conditions such as autism, Parkinson’s disease, MS, bipolar disorder, and depression—highlighting its critical role in maintaining health and driving disease pathogenesis.

Areas Linked with the Microbiome

Gut

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

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.

Women's

Vagina

Thrush, UTIs & BV

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.

Oral

Mouth

Bad breath, ulcers, gingivitis & periodontitis

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.

Gut-Brain

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.

Microbiome Dysbiosis

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.

Longevity

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.

Gut

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.

What is the Microbiome
Every human has their own unique population of bacteria living inside & outside their body — When in balance, we feel healthy!
Dysbiotic Microbiome
When our microbiome is out of balance — dysbiosis — our body can inflict all forms of unpleasant illness, conditions, disease, and pain.
Modern Stressors
Modern stressors — like medicine, food, and our sterile environment — have deprived humans of a healthy microbiome.
Regaining Balance
Restoring balance — eubiosis — of your microbiota can relieve symptoms and improve your health.

We use the latest science and expert doctors to deliver an entirely new approach to healthcare.
