BiotiQuest® Gut Health & Probiotics Blog with Martha Carlin

Sleep, Clarity, Immunity: Start With Your Microbiome - Martha Carlin

Martha Carlin | Aug 19, 2025 | podcast

In this episode of Vitality Made Simple, Martha Carlin, founder of BiotiQuest, joins us to discuss the critical role the gut microbiome plays in our health and how her probiotic formulations are designed to work in harmony—much like a thriving ecosystem. She explains the science behind consortia probiotics, where multiple strains support each other’s growth, producing benefits that extend far beyond digestion. From the BiotiQuest Sugar Shift blend for metabolic health to the BiotiQuest Antibiotic Antidote Probiotics for post-antibiotic recovery, she shares how her products address the interconnected systems of the body.

With gratitude,

Martha Carlin photo Martha Carlin, is a “Citizen Scientist”, systems thinker, wife of Parkinson’s warrior, John Carlin, and founder of The BioCollective , a microbiome company expanding the reach of science and BiotiQuest, the first of it’s kind probiotic line. Since John’s diagnosis in 2002, Martha began learning the science of agriculture, nutrition, environment, infectious disease, Parkinson’s pathology and much more. In 2014, when the first research was published showing a connection between the gut bacteria and the two phenotypes of Parkinson’s, Martha quit her former career as a business turnaround expert and founded The BioCollective to accelerate the discovery of the impact of gut health on all human disease. Martha was a speaker at the White House 2016 Microbiome Initiative launch, challenging the scientific community to “think in a broader context”. Her systems thinking background and experience has led to collaborations across the scientific spectrum from neuroscience to engineering to infectious disease. She is a respected out of the box problem solver in the microbiome field and brings a unique perspective to helping others understand the connections from the soil to the food to our guts and our brains.
