In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of gut health with microbiome researcher and health innovator, Martha Carlin. As the founder of The BioCollective, Martha’s dedicated her career to understanding how gut health, blood sugar balance, and environmental exposures influence chronic diseases.

After her husband's Parkinson's diagnosis, Martha transitioned from a successful corporate career to exploring the biological roots of chronic illness. Her research highlights the significant role of gut microbiome disruptions in driving inflammation, insulin resistance, and neurological decline. She emphasizes the potential of restoring microbial balance to support long-term health.

Martha also founded BiotiQuest, a science-based probiotic company, and developed Sugar Shift, a patented probiotic clinically proven to reduce endotoxin levels and improve insulin sensitivity. Additionally, as a partner in Ancient Organics Biosciences, she connects soil health and human health through innovative microbial solutions.
