Episode 112. Unlocking the Microbiome: Martha Carlin’s Journey into Gut Health & Parkinson’s
by Kevin Danielson February 22, 2025
In this episode of The One Thing Podcast, Dr. Adam Rinde dives deep into the fascinating world of the microbiome with Martha Carlin, a citizen scientist, entrepreneur, and microbiome expert. After her husband's Parkinson’s diagnosis, Martha took a radical approach—teaching herself chemistry, microbiology, and systems biology to uncover the connection between gut health and neurological conditions.
The conversation examines how gut health is connected to chronic conditions such as leaky gut, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, and inflammation. We also discuss how everyday lifestyle factors can either support or disrupt the gut, including:
Nitric oxide isn’t something you simply boost. Learn how the gut microbiome shapes the conditions that allow nitric oxide signaling, flow, and vascular resilience to emerge naturally.
Martha Carlin explains how the microbiome, endotoxin, & the glycocalyx influence energy, cognition, and long-term resilience & why gut repair is central to protecting longevity.
Martha brings her unique perspective as both a systems thinker and scientific innovator to help viewers understand how restoring balance in the gut can transform the entire terrain of the body—and potentially reverse the course of chronic illness.
