ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Martha Carlin is not your typical founder. Driven by a deep love for people and the planet, she has emerged as a thought leader, innovator, and out-of-the-box problem-solver in the field of microbiome research. Martha's unique perspective connects the dots from soil to food to our guts and our brains, unraveling the complex web of connections that influence our health.
What sets Martha apart is her heartfelt dedication to solving complex health challenges. Her unwavering commitment to understanding our evolving health issues has propelled her into the realm of citizen science, particularly in the microbiome and Parkinson's disease fields.
Martha's journey is driven by applying her systems thinking approach to microbiome science and its potential to impact human health. Her husband John' s Parkinson's diagnosis in 2002 ignited a passion to delve deeper into causal factors like diet and lifestyle as well as holistic/alternative ideas that deserve further study. Years later the connection published research about the gut bacteria and the two phenotypes of Parkinson's disease was a Eureka moment.
Inspired by this groundbreaking research from Dr. Filip Scheperjans in 2014, Martha founded The BioCollective, a research company focused on mapping health. Witnessing John' s improved symptoms while taking her product Sugar Shift solidified Martha's conviction to bring this transformative product to market, empowering individuals to take control of their health and providing a reliable source of knowledge to support their well-being.
