Could the root cause of Parkinson's disease be hiding in your gut?   In this Longevity Podcast episode, I am joined by Martha Carlin, founder of The BioCollective and BiotiQuest, to explore the role of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) – cellular debris from harmful bacteria – in Parkinson's disease and other chronic conditions.    We dive into the importance of the microbiome in overall health, the connection between constipation and Parkinson's, and the potential impact of probiotics in mitigating LPS-related issues. We also explore the benefits of cold showers, cold plunges, and cryotherapy in signaling microbes and the potential of AI in accelerating learning and understanding the complexities of the microbiome.    Martha Carlin, a former business turnaround expert turned citizen scientist, has emerged as a pioneering force in microbiome research and Parkinson's disease studies since her husband's diagnosis in 2002. After teaching herself chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and microbiology, she founded The BioCollective in 2015, creating one of the world's first fecal banks to accelerate microbiome research, and later developed BiotiQuest, a line of innovative probiotics. Her groundbreaking work has led to collaborations across multiple scientific disciplines and speaking engagements at prestigious venues, including The White House 2016 Microbiome Initiative.    Shop BiotiQuest formulas at https://biotiquest.com/ and use code NAT15 to save.    Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:                                                                                                                                                           Young Goose: First order?

Functional nutrition and genetic testing, when used appropriately, can provide valuable insights for individualized treatment. Building a strong health foundation is essential before exploring advanced treatments or supplements.  Holistic health encompasses more than just physical symptoms. It involves understanding the interconnectedness of the body, considering the broader context of a person's life, and incorporating elements like joy, laughter, and physical expression for overall well-being.

We often hear that certain foods are "good" or "bad" for us. But what if the real key to health isn't about avoiding specific foods, but rather embracing diversity in our diets? In this Longevity podcast episode, I am joined by nutrition expert Joel Greene to discuss how nature's meal plan is built on variety and balance.  We dive into ancestral eating patterns including periods of "foraging" followed by occasional feasts, why even "superfoods" can become problematic if eaten too often, and how to mitigate the effects of less-than-ideal meals. We also discuss the surprising benefits of foods like oats, bananas, and cactus and why short-term results don't always translate to long-term health.  Joel Greene is the creator of the VEEP Nutrition System. He is a featured author, speaker, and guest in top-tier publications and his system has been featured on the Dr. Phil Show (among other shows), where it has delivered astounding life-changing results.
