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.
The microbiome—the complex ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes that live primarily in our digestive tract—doesn’t just influence digestion. It plays a foundational role in immune resilience, mental clarity, emotional balance, and even sleep. And as we shift our environments and routines this fall, it’s worth pausing to ask: How do these changes affect the gut?
As the summer sun ripens fields and gardens, nature offers us a vibrant pharmacy of herbs—each one a small but mighty ally for digestive wellness. Let’s explore these powerful summer herbs for digestion, blending timeless tradition with the emerging science behind their bioactive chemistry.
Summer adventures draw us to wild places—to the rhythm of water, the hush of pines, and the grounding stillness only the backcountry can offer. But as we sip from cool streams and share simple campfire meals, it’s easy to forget that the microbiome of the wild isn’t always aligned with our own.
In Part 1 of this series, we go beyond what doctors are asking—and dig into what really matters for our brains: stress, the microbiome, mineral balance, and a newly discovered protective layer you’ve never heard of (but need to know about).
