Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life’s Best Medicine. Martha Carlin left her career in business where she worked as a systems thinker and turnaround expert and devoted herself to solving the puzzle of Parkinson’s disease. She began her journey as a citizen scientist when her husband (John) was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. His diagnosis launched a transformative life-journey and Martha’s passion to find the answers traditional medicine either missed or overlooked. She is the founder of the science blog, “Martha’s Quest,” and is also the founder of BiotiQuest.
In this conversation, Brian and Martha talk about the microbiome triggers for diseases, the multitude of factors that effect the gut microbiome, learning to feed good bacteria and starve bad bacteria with diet and lifestyle changes, mannitol and its effect on the gut, toxoplasmosis, where to go for a good gut microbiome test, why supermarket probiotic foods may not be ideal for building up your gut microbiome, and tips for making your own bone broth and yogurt.
Life’s Best Medicine According to Martha: “Helping people. I used to have a career that was all about making money and moving up the ladder. When I started doing this and seeing how much I can help people—even the little interactions on the phone; that human connection and really being able to make a difference in somebody’s life—that is what motivates me to get up in the morning. I am so much happier doing this and working to help people live healthier, happier lives.”
Thank you for listening. Have a blessed day and stay healthy!
