The Gut-Brain Connection: Microbes, Minerals, and Your Health – Martha Carlin – #CoSci
by Kevin Danielson January 22, 2025
Martha Carlin, a citizen scientist, delivers a thought-provoking presentation on the microbiome's role in health, particularly in Parkinson’s disease. Drawing from personal experiences and extensive research, she highlights how microbes and minerals are essential for energy production, immune function, and overall well-being. Martha discusses the destructive effects of modern agricultural practices, such as glyphosate use, on microbial and mineral health. She emphasizes the interconnectedness of the microbiome, environment, and human health, advocating for innovative approaches to restore balance.
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.
