Balancing the gut microbiome can transform the entire terrain of the body by regulating the immune system, controlling inflammation, influencing metabolism, and affecting brain function via the gut-brain axis, all of which are crucial in the prevention and potential reversal of chronic illnesses.
Martha Carlin is a pioneering citizen scientist and systems researcher who has spent the past decade unraveling the hidden connections between the microbiome, chronic disease, and environmental toxins. After her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, Martha left a successful corporate career to investigate the deeper causes of neurodegeneration and metabolic dysfunction—starting in the gut.
Martha Carlin explains how the microbiome, endotoxin, & the glycocalyx influence energy, cognition, and long-term resilience & why gut repair is central to protecting longevity.
Martha brings her unique perspective as both a systems thinker and scientific innovator to help viewers understand how restoring balance in the gut can transform the entire terrain of the body—and potentially reverse the course of chronic illness.
In the new Community Learning Lab, we’ll share research, stories, observations, and questions. We’ll connect emerging microbiome science with real-life application, always with transparency, curiosity, and respect for the body’s innate intelligence. Join us today!
In this episode, we delve into the fascinating world of gut health with microbiome researcher and health innovator, Martha Carlin.
