Microbiome, Parkinson’s, Systemic Healing and the Power of Citizen Science with Martha Carlin
August 28, 2025Welcome to Superhumanize, where we explore the edges of human potential, and the systems, seen and unseen, that shape our lives.
Today’s conversation is a deeply personal and profoundly scientific journey. I am honored to welcome Martha Carlin, citizen scientist, entrepreneur, systems thinker, and founder of BiotiQuest. When her husband John was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2002, Martha didn’t just become a caregiver. She became a force of research, uncovering unexpected connections between the gut microbiome, neurodegeneration, and the modern toxic landscape.
In this conversation, we speak of grief and love, and also bacteria and frequency. We speak of supplements, and also of synchronicity. We map systems, from spreadsheets to stool samples, and explore how shifting the internal terrain may be one of the most powerful levers for healing our minds and bodies.
This episode is an invitation to listen not only with the mind, but with the gut.
