Martha Carlin’s passion for solving complex health problems comes from the heart as well as her mind. Her relentless pursuit to understand our growing health challenges has led her on the path to becoming a respected citizen scientist in the microbiome and Parkinson’s fields. Her passion for helping people feel better is genuine. In 2014, Martha Carlin was inspired by groundbreaking research that found the connection between gut bacteria and the two phenotypes of Parkinson’s Disease (PD). This insight is the foundation and core philosophy that led her to develop a special probiotic formula (now called Sugar Shift®) for her husband, John, who has PD. After tracking John’s improved health while taking Sugar Shift, Martha knew it was her responsibility to bring the product to market, motivate people to own their own health and begin creating a knowledge base for people to easily find helpful information to feel their best.
