The Ageproof Podcast - Unlocking Chronic Disease Through the Microbiome: Martha Carlin’s Revolutionary Parkinson’s Journey
by Kevin Danielson April 14, 2025
What happens when a business strategist refuses to accept a diagnosis—and instead decides to rewrite the entire paradigm of chronic illness?
In this mind-expanding episode, Piers speaks with Martha Carlin, founder of BiotiQuest®, about her extraordinary transformation from systems analyst to citizen scientist. Motivated by her husband’s Parkinson’s diagnosis, Martha dove into biochemistry, soil biology, and microbiome science—eventually developing Sugar Shift®, a groundbreaking probiotic that reshapes sugar metabolism and supports brain health.
And in 2025, as our understanding of the microbiome continues to expand, I find myself returning again and again to one question: what is your gut trying to tell you?
If you want a clearer understanding of gut health and how to experience the profound benefits of targeted probiotics — clearer skin, fewer cravings, better digestion, deeper sleep, and more — this episode is for you.
Returning to seasonal eating isn’t just nostalgic. It’s a powerful way to support your gut microbiome—the vast ecological community inside you that helps shape digestion, immune resilience, mood balance, and overall vitality.
The human gut hosts trillions of microbes working together in complex harmony. These microbes influence everything from digestion to immune regulation to brain chemistry. And like any living system, they require nourishment. That nourishment? It often comes in the form of prebiotics.
