by Kevin Danielson November 29, 2024
Catch Martha Carlin, Founder of The BioCollective and BiotiQuest Probiotics, shares her journey from business consultant to citizen scientist in a quest to understand and repair the human microbiome. Driven by her husband’s Parkinson’s diagnosis at age 44, Martha delves into how balancing the gut can change our health story. Learn how everyday toxins, environmental factors, and even soil health impact our microbiome and overall well-being.
In the video, Martha Carlin discusses her journey in understanding gut health and the microbiome, particularly inspired by her husband's struggles with Parkinson's and long COVID. She emphasizes the importance of whole foods and the negative impact of processed foods on gut health while sharing personal insights into how the microbiome influences overall well-being. The conversation highlights the interconnectedness of gut health, chronic illness, and lifestyle choices, encouraging viewers to find balance and purpose in their own health journeys.
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.
