Check out this article about key research on gut health, Parkinson's, and our Founder.
We caught the eye of Science News in late 2019. They shared some of Martha Carlin's journey. How and why our Founder connected the dots between Parkinson's disease and gut health.
It's personal. Finding real world solutions for those suffering from Parkinson's is the mission that drove her to create The Biocollective to do microbiome research and then launch BiotiQuest to sell Prebiotic + probiotic blends based upon The BioCollective's research.
More and more research is showing that our microbiome health is being connected to many conditions and aspects of our overall wellbeing. Here's the Science New's look at one breakthrough that people were talking about:
In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Brian Lenzkes welcomes microbiome researcher and entrepreneur Martha Carlin to explore how our inner ecosystem shapes metabolic, neurological, and emotional health.
Martha shares how she discovered the connection between gut bacteria and Parkinson’s symptoms, developed probiotics that significantly improved her husband’s condition, and is now working on therapies for Crohn’s disease and post-antibiotic gut restoration. She also reveals the hidden dangers of glyphosate, explains why the “magic bullet” approach fails for complex diseases, and discusses the future of microbiome medicine.
In this episode, we discuss the surprising link between gut health and Parkinson’s, how glyphosate impacts your body on a cellular level, the microbiome’s role in chronic disease, and so much more.
