Martha Carlin Featured on Children's Health Defense Tea Time

I was honored to be a recent guest on the Children's Health Defense show, Tea Time.
In this great conversation, we discuss my story and my husband John's Parkinson's diagnosis, and my lightbulb moment that led to studying the microbiome. We also discuss glyphosate and mannitol, the connection between gut health and chronic illness, and more.
We’ve all felt it: the mid-afternoon brain fog, the 9:00 PM sugar cravings, or that frustrating toss-and-turn despite being exhausted. Usually, we reach for another cup of coffee, a sugary snack, or a melatonin pill. But according to Martha Carlin, founder of BiotiQuest, we might be looking at the wrong map.
When we think about immunity, it’s natural to picture white blood cells or the body’s ability to “fight off” invaders. But if we pause for a moment and look deeper, we begin to see a more nuanced story unfolding, one rooted not in defense alone, but in balance, communication, and resilience. And at the center of that story is the microbiome.
Have you ever wondered why some people stay sharp and active into their 90s, while others struggle with "brain fog" or neurological decline in their 50s?
