The Peace Offering Podcast: The Microbiome and Metabolism with Martha Carlin
by Kevin Danielson April 02, 2024
Catch Martha on a recent episode of The Peace Offering Podcast! She joined Jonathan Rickert to discuss how she found the presence of specific bacterial strains or lack of strains linked to Parkinson's, metabolic health, the impact of endotoxins and glyphosate, how Sugar Shift converts glucose and fructose into mannitol, and more.
Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, connection, and of course, gathering around the table. But for many, the traditional feast can leave us feeling sluggish, bloated, or “off.” What if this year, instead of compromising comfort for indulgence, you could enjoy your favorite holiday dishes while nurturing your gut microbiome?
Gratitude isn’t just a feeling. It’s a signal. A practice. A form of internal nourishment. It reshapes how we show up—for ourselves, our relationships, and even our microbiome.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Brian Lenzkes welcomes microbiome researcher and entrepreneur Martha Carlin to explore how our inner ecosystem shapes metabolic, neurological, and emotional health.
Martha shares how she discovered the connection between gut bacteria and Parkinson’s symptoms, developed probiotics that significantly improved her husband’s condition, and is now working on therapies for Crohn’s disease and post-antibiotic gut restoration. She also reveals the hidden dangers of glyphosate, explains why the “magic bullet” approach fails for complex diseases, and discusses the future of microbiome medicine.
