Gut microbiome and its connection to Parkinson's disease with Maximal Being Being and Martha Carlin | Part 1, Podcast 77
by Kevin Danielson March 20, 2024
Joining us today at Maximal Being Fitness, Nutrition, and Gut Health is Martha Carlin aka the "Poop Queen," shares her journey from being an auditor to founding a microbiome research company after her husband's Parkinson's disease diagnosis. She quit her job, founded the BioCollective, and collected fecal samples to build a giant poop bank and computational models to understand the problem and find solutions.
And in 2025, as our understanding of the microbiome continues to expand, I find myself returning again and again to one question: what is your gut trying to tell you?
If you want a clearer understanding of gut health and how to experience the profound benefits of targeted probiotics — clearer skin, fewer cravings, better digestion, deeper sleep, and more — this episode is for you.
Returning to seasonal eating isn’t just nostalgic. It’s a powerful way to support your gut microbiome—the vast ecological community inside you that helps shape digestion, immune resilience, mood balance, and overall vitality.
The human gut hosts trillions of microbes working together in complex harmony. These microbes influence everything from digestion to immune regulation to brain chemistry. And like any living system, they require nourishment. That nourishment? It often comes in the form of prebiotics.
