We've been told Parkinson's is just a dopamine problem. It’s not.

This week on the podcast, we’re joined by Martha Carlin—systems thinker, microbiome expert, and someone who has spent the last 20+ years trying to understanding the brain and the gut after her husband’s Parkinson's diagnosis in his 40's. ⠀ In Part 1 of this series, we go beyond what doctors are asking—and dig into what really matters for our brains: stress, the microbiome, mineral balance, and a newly discovered protective layer you’ve never heard of (but need to know about). ⠀ Listen now to uncover the real drivers of health decline and Parkinson’s—and why they’re being missed in medical care. From the gut-brain connection to the overlooked stress-microbiome loop, and the underappreciated role of electrolytes and mineral balance, this episode redefines what we think we know about Parkinson’s. And it might just change how you care for the body you have—today.

If you or someone you love is navigating Parkinson’s, this conversation is a must-listen. It’s science, soul, and most importantly, full of hope.

This is Part 1 of a 2-Part Series. Tune in for Part 2 with Martha next week all about how glucose, minerals, and spirituality can dramatically change Parkinson’s outcomes.

MORE ABOUT MARTHA:

Martha Carlin is a citizen scientist, systems thinker, and the founder of BioCollective, a microbiome company at the frontier of our understanding of gut health, the microbiome, and disease, and BiotiQuest, a company delivering quality probiotics.

When her husband John was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2002, Martha dove into the existing research to find a way to help him. When she came across a newly discovered research showing a link between gut bacteria and two phenotypes of Parkinson’s she quit her lucrative job in New York as a business turnaround expert and dove into how to turn around the human body - and particularly our gut health and microbiome - to create healing and health.

Her background in systems thinking has sparked collaborations across the scientific spectrum including neuroscience to engineering to infectious disease - and has created out-of-the-box thinking to help bring new perspectives to disease, our gut microbiome, and health.
