The Connection Between Gut Health and Parkinson’s with Martha Carlin
by Kevin Danielson November 13, 2024
Join Martha Carlin on Wellness Talk with George Batista in a discussion about gut health and Parkinson's.
After her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2002, Martha taught herself chemistry, physics, microbiology, and genetics to understand the world of the microbiome and how whole-body wellness is tied to a healthy gut. She founded The BioCollective, a microbiome research company, and BiotiQuest, a probiotic brand designed to restore gut health.
In the video, George Batista discusses gut health's connection to Parkinson's disease with expert Martha Carlin, who shares her personal journey with her husband's diagnosis. The conversation highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy gut for overall wellness and immunity. They also touch on recent updates concerning the FDA's scrutiny of certain medications, raising questions about their effectiveness and safety.
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.
