[00:30] Why Martha Is So Obsessed With The Gut Microbiome and The Research She’s Doing In Her Company
- Martha’s 44-year-old otherwise healthy husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
- So, Martha started to teach herself about science and the human body.
- Food and water are the main inputs in the human body. Martha threw out all the food that wasn’t organic.
- After ditching highly refined carbohydrates, Martha’s husband started to do much better than most people with Parkinson’s.
- Martha recommends reading Missing Microbes: How the Overuse of Antibiotics Is Fueling Our Modern Plagues

[12:05] Comparing A Healthy Gut To An Unhealthy Gut
- People who have a relative abundance of streptococcus are in some disease category.
- Streptococcus loves glucose.
- Elevated proteobacteria is another sign of an unhealthy gut.
- There’s a study suggesting that people who drink skim milk have a statistically significant increase in Parkinson's risk.

[18:30] Glyphosate: The Main Problem That Is Disrupting Your Microbiome
- The number one thing disrupting the gut microbiome is glyphosate.
- Most people do not understand how much the use of glyphosate has increased in the last thirty years.
- Glyphosate changes the biochemistry of the plant. Also, it changes the biochemistry of the soil, which changes the nutritional uptake of a plant.
- So, you need to eat as organic as possible. Also, make your legislators aware of the glyphosate problems.

[23:55] Other Things You Should Avoid To Improve Your Gut Health
- Avoid high fructose corn syrup.
- Highly processed sugars will have a significant impact on your microbiome and overall health.
- The highest consumption of high fructose corn syrup is usually in poor populations.
- Also, avoid antibiotics to improve your gut health.

[28:00] All About The BioCollective and How Martha Wants To Help People Improve Their Health
- Martha uses the concept of collect, connect, and correct.
- She collects poop samples, connects the dots, and corrects the problem.
- Martha has worked with researchers all over the globe using their samples.
- Now, they formulate different products to help people.
- Sugar Shift is something that will help you address cravings.
- BiotiQuest’s Sugar Shift helps your gut microbiome transform the unneeded accumulation of sugars (glucose and fructose) into mannitol. Mannitol is a sugar that isn’t stored in the body, so it is naturally eliminated.

[36:05] Help Your Gut By Using Ideal Immunity and Heart Centered
- Ideal Immunity is similar to Sugar Shift. However, this particular formula will kill foodborne pathogens. Plus, it works to restore mucosal surfaces in the gut to support your immune system.
- If you’re traveling, Ideal Immunity is great for your gut.
- Lastly, Heart Centered is focused on cardiovascular health and lowering blood pressure.
