by Kevin Danielson November 05, 2024
Tune in to The Longevity Podcast with Nathalie Niddam to hear Martha discuss the connection between gut health and Parkinson's disease, highlighting the role of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) as a potential contributor to the condition. She shares her insights on how the microbiome impacts overall health and its relationship with various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders. The episode emphasizes the importance of understanding the microbiome to address various health issues and discusses the benefits of probiotics in this context.
The content focuses on the relationship between the microbiome and neurodegenerative diseases. It addresses the significance of investigating the potential health impacts of specific cellular components from harmful bacteria. Additionally, it explores innovative approaches to understanding and improving microbiome health for overall well-being.
Gratitude isn’t just a feeling. It’s a signal. A practice. A form of internal nourishment. It reshapes how we show up—for ourselves, our relationships, and even our microbiome.
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.
