Biohacking Beauty - Martha Carlin - The Impact of Microbiome on Skin Health and Overall Health
by Kevin Danielson January 22, 2024
Research has shown that the gut microbiome plays a critical role in our overall health, including the health and appearance of our skin.
In this episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast, Amitay, founder of Young Goose is joined by Martha Carlin, a visionary thinker and trailblazer in the world of holistic health and gut health. Martha's pioneering research into the complex interplay between diet, gut health, and overall wellness has revolutionized our understanding of personal health and skin health.
Let’s be completely honest: When was the last time you actually looked inside the bowl before you flushed? If your immediate reaction is to cringey-laugh and say, "Ugh, never," you are throwing away the single most valuable health report your body produces daily.
A chronic diagnosis is almost always delivered as a final sentence, completely devoid of hope. In the conventional medical model, patients are given a label—whether it’s Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or chronic fatigue—and told, “There is no cure. This is progressive. Take this pill.”
The path to vibrant health is rarely a straight line. Often, it takes a deeply personal disruption to force us to look at the human body through a completely different lens. For Martha Carlin, a former corporate auditor and turnaround expert, that disruption came in 2002 when her healthy 44-year-old husband, John, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
A chronic health diagnosis is almost always delivered as a rigid, downward equation. In the conventional medical model, when a condition like Parkinson’s disease presents itself, it is frequently treated as an absolute finality—a steady downward slope accompanied by a prescription and a lack of baseline options.
