Parkinsons Recovery with Robert Rogers: Can Probiotics Help Parkinson's GI Symptoms
by Martha Carlin December 22, 2023
Martha Carlin, CEO and Founder of The BioCollective, Citizen Scientist and wife of John Carlin, an 18 year "veteran" of Parkinson's Disease discusses their journey together to find supportive therapies for better quality of life and her company's development of the probiotic BiotiQuest Sugar Shift. Martha will discuss her Company's research in the Parkinson's Microbiome, emerging research in gut health and constipation as an early indicator of Parkinson's, and the foundational science behind the Sugar Shift formula. The BiotiQuest Sugar Shift formula was designed to make mannitol in the gut with eight strains of probiotic bacteria the work together to convert Glucose and Fructose in the body in to mannitol.
When most people think about circadian rhythm, they think about sleep. But your circadian rhythm is much more than a sleep-wake cycle. It is a master biological timing system that influences nearly every aspect of health, including metabolism, immune function, hormone production, digestion, detoxification, and even how your gut microbes behave.
Let’s be completely honest: When was the last time you actually looked inside the bowl before you flushed? If your immediate reaction is to cringey-laugh and say, "Ugh, never," you are throwing away the single most valuable health report your body produces daily.
A chronic diagnosis is almost always delivered as a final sentence, completely devoid of hope. In the conventional medical model, patients are given a label—whether it’s Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or chronic fatigue—and told, “There is no cure. This is progressive. Take this pill.”
The path to vibrant health is rarely a straight line. Often, it takes a deeply personal disruption to force us to look at the human body through a completely different lens. For Martha Carlin, a former corporate auditor and turnaround expert, that disruption came in 2002 when her healthy 44-year-old husband, John, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
