Martha Carlin | Dec 21, 2023 | Podcast

Martha joined Kriben Govender on the Gut Health Gurus Podcast to discuss her journey as a citizen scientist after her husband's diagnosis with Parkinson's disease. She emphasizes the importance of diet and the microbiome in managing his condition, leading to the development of her company and probiotic products. Martha shares her experiences of extensive research and innovative treatments that have significantly improved her husband's health.

Key points include a personal journey of addressing health challenges, emphasizing the importance of researching dietary changes, and developing products based on scientific findings to promote better health outcomes.

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.
