Summary

Martha Carlin joins the podcast to explore the crucial connection between soil health and our gut ecosystem. As the founder of The BioCollective, a microbiome-focused company advancing cutting-edge science, and BiotiQuest, the first-of-its-kind probiotic line, Martha combines expertise in terrain theory, microbial ecology, and genetic analysis with personal experience and intuition. Her unique approach empowers people to optimize their health by bridging science, nature, and practical wellness strategies…

In this conversation, we unpack:

  • The commonalities between various diseases and microbiome health.

  • How to holistically care for your body.

  • The best way to test your gut health.

Martha is a systems thinker and self-described 'Citizen Scientist' whose pioneering work in the microbiome was born from a deeply personal journey. When her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at just 44, Martha shifted from a thriving career in business strategy and complex problem-solving to explore the uncharted frontier of microbiome science. Without formal training in medicine or microbiology, she harnessed her analytical skills and relentless curiosity to uncover patterns often overlooked by conventional research.
