About Microbiome Center
Microbiome Center is a network of physicians, pharmacists, and researchers focused on restoring health through personalized microbiome therapy.
In this video, founder Pieter Pekelharing explains how Microbiome Center came to be, what insights formed the basis of the concept and how the treatment network has developed in recent years.
Why we choose a personalized approach
Many people with chronic complaints get stuck for years in standard solutions that do not sufficiently match their personal situation.
We believe that recovery requires treatment that is not based on averages, but on the individual, with attention to the microbiome, medical context and personal differences.
That is why we bring doctors, laboratories and pharmacists together in one treatment network around the client.
One network, around the treatment of the client
Our role within the treatment process
Microbiome Center does not treat clients itself. We support practitioners with analyses, knowledge, software, laboratory services and personalised recipes. The practitioner remains responsible for diagnosis, treatment and guidance.
Scientifically substantiated
Microbiome Center works from the conviction that effective treatment requires a combination of scientific knowledge, clinical experience and individual patient data.
Microbiome analyses are an important starting point in this. The results are not assessed separately, but always interpreted within the client's medical context. Practitioners combine these insights with their own expertise, anamnesis and current scientific literature to arrive at an appropriate treatment strategy.
By bringing together practical experience, research results and treatment outcomes within the network, a continuous learning process is created in which new insights can be translated into daily practice.
