In this episode of Healthy Her, host Amelia Phillips gets to the guts of your digestive issues with leading Australian gut health expert, microbiome doctor and gastroenterologist, Dr Paul Froomes.

From bloating to constipation, gas, reflux and more, Dr Paul explains why gut symptoms often emerge or intensify in midlife women, and how you can identify the root causes of your discomfort.

He answers questions about diet, microbiome mapping, testing and the link between gut health and mood, and outlines the steps to restore balance – when nothing else has worked.

About the guest:

Dr Paul Froomes is a Melbourne-based gastroenterologist with over 30 years of experience helping patients with complex gastrointestinal disorders. Trained at Monash University and the Royal Australian College of Physicians, 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 and clinic work, Dr Froomes has dedicated his career to finding the root causes of gut issues like IBS, reflux, and inflammatory bowel disease – publishing research, training doctors, and now building innovative treatment programs that are changing lives.

Dr Froomes is the co-founder of 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.

In this Ask Me Anything episode, host Amelia Phillips answers listener questions on how to beat a sugar addiction (something she's personally struggled with!), easy ways to reduce inflammation as a tired and busy mum, and exactly how many sets and reps of weights will help you get stronger sooner.

*Clarification on Q3 on Pyramid sets: The recommended Pyramid set Amelia is referring to is 12reps, then increase weight, 10 reps, then increase weight again, 8 reps at your heaviest weight, then finish with 12 reps at your lighter starting weight.
