Universe Within Podcast Ep150 - Martha Carlin - Gut Microbiome, Chronic Disease, & Holistic Health
by Kevin Danielson February 05, 2025
Martha recently joined Jason Grechanik for a conversation on The Universe Within Podcast. In this conversation they explore disease, the gut microbiome, the consequences of many Western lifestyle practices, holistic approaches to healing, the mind-body connection, and many other topics.
Behind closed eyes, the brain is carrying out a carefully coordinated night shift. And research into the microbiome raises an intriguing question: how might the activity in our gut influence the sleep that gives this work its opportunity?
When discussing gut health, the conversation usually centers on the microbiome. While balancing gut bacteria remains essential, cutting-edge science highlights another critical component of cellular health: the glycocalyx.
When discussing chronic neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease, conventional medicine frequently focuses on a single narrative: dopamine depletion. While managing neurotransmitters remains a core part of traditional care, emerging physical chemistry and microbiome research reveal a far broader picture.
