Join Martha on episode 83 of The Kick Sugar Coach Podcast with host Florence Christophers. Martha and Florence discuss the intricate connections between gut health and chronic diseases like Parkinson's and Diabetes. Inspired by her husband's Parkinson's diagnosis, Martha embarked on a groundbreaking quest that led to the founding of BiotiQuest and the development of Sugar Shift®..
The video features an interview with Martha Carlin, who discusses her groundbreaking research on the connection between gut health and chronic diseases, specifically relating to Parkinson's disease and diabetes. She highlights a clinical trial conducted in Cuba that examines the effects of a specific formula on blood sugar control and gut microbiome improvements over a 90-day period. Martha emphasizes the importance of gut bacteria in overall health and their potential role in preventing and managing chronic conditions.
When we think about healthy relationships, we often focus on communication, shared values, or emotional intelligence. But what if the foundation for these connections lies not just in our hearts or minds, but deep within our guts? As someone who has spent over two decades exploring the hidden world of microbes, both professionally and personally, I've come to realize that the microbiome—the vast community of microbes living in and on us—plays a surprising and powerful role in shaping our social bonds, emotional well-being, and even our attraction to others.
With Valentine's Day approaching, I thought I'd share a delicious and gut-friendly recipe for probiotic chocolate truffles with non-GMO dextrose to share with others or enjoy for yourself. It's a great healthy option to try instead of the standard chocolate you'll find at the grocery store that's full of sugar or artificial sweeteners and other additives.
Dr. Brandon Crawford and microbiome researcher Martha Carlin explore the intricate connections between gut health, the environment, and overall wellness.
