Martha Carlin Featured on the Life's Best Medicine Podcast with Dr. Brian Lenzkes!

I was honored to recently be a guest on the Life's Best
In this conversation, we discuss the microbiome triggers for diseases, the multitude of factors that affect 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.
As I share with Dr. Lenzkes, I believe "life's best medicine" is helping people. I used to have a career that was all about making money and moving up the ladder. When I started doing the work I do with BiotiQuest 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.
Thanks to Dr. Lenzkes for having me on his insightful, informative show! You can listen to the interview below orwatch the video on YouTube:
Candy is everywhere this time of year: bowls at the office, bowls at school, bowls by the front door. And when kids see their peers walking around with bags or buckets full of sweets, it feels almost impossible to say no. But what if we reframed Halloween—not by taking away the fun, but by showing kids (and reminding ourselves) what’s really happening inside their bodies? That’s where gut-healthy Halloween ideas come in.
Many people think gut health is just about digestion—but the truth runs deeper. From leaky gut to gluten fears to stool test confusion, we explore 10 common gut health myths, what science actually says, and how to support your gut with wisdom, not hype.
Discover how modern wheat, gluten, and glyphosate impact gut health, contribute to leaky gut, celiac disease, and food intolerances — and learn natural ways to repair your gut lining, restore minerals, and reclaim resilience.
