Podcasts about citizen scientist

Is Sasquatch just a legend we use to scare the new guy in camp? Or is it watching us from the ridge tops? Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, the stories trickle out, sometimes loosed with whiskey, sometimes in moments of trust. Today we talk to Tyler Kennedy who grew up hunting and fishing and spending time alone in the woods. We hear about his encounter in the Cascades and how it changed his life. You can find Tyler at the Bigfoot and the Citizen Science Podcast. If you want to support free speech and good hunting content in the Internet Age, look for our coffee and books and wildlife forage blends at https://www.garylewisoutdoors.com/Shop/We have a new sponsor for the podcast!

Writer Tamara Dean knew she wanted to live lightly on the planet. Her search to live a productive life while lowering her carbon footprint led her to the Driftless Area of Wisconsin — also known as Bluff Country and the Paleozoic Plateau — with dreams of become a homesteader. Dean shares her experience in her new memoir “Shelter and Storm: At Home in the Driftless.” She spoke to MPR chief meteorologist Paul Huttner for Climate Cast.The transcript below has been lightly edited for clarity and length.What prompted you to write this book? I had been spending most of my days in an office, like a lot of people in front of computers, and my partner, David, and I decided we wanted to live healthier lifestyles. We also wanted to live out our environmental principles. We didn't know where exactly we wanted to start over, but when we drove around the Driftless Area, which is mostly in the southwestern corner of Wisconsin, we recognized that this was a place where we wanted to live. You talk about being a citizen scientist in your book. What does that mean to you? A citizen scientist is someone who volunteers to study nature. In places like Wisconsin, where the Department of Natural Resources really doesn't have the funding and staffing to cover every species in the state, a citizen scientists can fill that gap and provide information to help professional scientists do their work. It's not only a rewarding opportunity for people, but it's also helpful for the state. We were citizen water monitors for the little river behind our house, and I became interested in surveys for fresh water mussels. They are some of the most endangered creatures in North America, but citizen scientists are studying where they're still thriving and that helps the people at the DNR know where to focus their efforts in helping their habitat. What do you think about the progress we've made on climate solutions so far? I think we have an over-estimation of our potential for solving the climate crisis with technology. It's definitely a necessary component of addressing the climate situation, but we also need to look at reducing our own footprints. There are ways we can do that pretty simply, whether it be reducing our travel, reducing our birth rate, or examining our diets. It doesn't have to be a hardship. It can be something easy and satisfying. You don't have to take it all on either. I think it can be a joy as well. What message do you have for anyone who wants to bring their life more in tune with our planet and our climate? I would recommend indulging your curiosity. Find what has energy for you — whether it's a particular type of landscape or a particular species — and immerse yourself in learning about that. I often think it's a shame that we think we have to go to Mars to learn something new, because all around us there are mysteries to pursue. I hope that's what my book leaves readers with. The idea that you can walk out your door and be curious and open-minded. And find a mystery that will ignite your own curiosity and passion, and pursue that to create your own story out of it.

Episode 2612 - Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dave Feldman about being a "citizen scientist," his documentary "Cholesterol Code," and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/02/citizen-scientist-dave-feldman-episode-2612 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Citizen Scientist People challenge Dave and the information he gives about cholesterol because he is an engineer, not a formally trained scientist. (5:00) He has gained abundant knowledge through the studies and scientists he has worked with. (8:00) Being a citizen scientist has advantages and disadvantages; while it allows for innovative insights, it can also lead to skepticism from trained professionals regarding credibility and expertise. He has also started the Citizen Science Foundation. Dave started learning more about cholesterol after having questionable test results. (14:00) He describes signs of a bad metabolism and that issues like insulin resistance are drivers of cardiovascular disease. (19:00) Metabolic health is a more critical cardiovascular risk indicator than LDL cholesterol levels, challenging traditional medical assumptions. Lean Mass Hyper Responders, a term coined by Feldman, describes individuals on low-carb, high-fat diets who exhibit high LDL cholesterol levels but maintain good metabolic health, sparking significant interest and further research. (22:00) Cholesterol Code Movie Dave recaps his journey and discusses the making of the documentary, “Cholesterol Code.” (44:00) The film features personal narratives from individuals using ketogenic diets for various health issues, highlighting their experiences with cholesterol and metabolic health. “Cholesterol Code” incorporates scientific studies, emphasizing accurate representation of research findings and avoiding misleading claims, presenting a balanced view of ketogenic diets. The team is exploring distribution options on major streaming platforms, aiming to reach a broad audience and continue raising awareness about the importance of metabolic health.

In this episode we speak with Bellinda King-Kallimanis, PhD, an expert in oncology research and patient advocacy. Bellinda shares her diverse experience in the field, from academia to the FDA and now her role at LUNGevity Foundation. The conversation covers various aspects of lung cancer, including screening procedures, risk factors, and common misconceptions. Bellinda emphasizes the importance of early detection and addresses the stigma associated with lung cancer. We also delve into the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and a study comparing the impact of using different types of material to communicate screening information to patients. The episode also includes a rapid-fire Q&A section, where Bellinda provides concise explanations of key terms and concepts related to lung cancer. This episode was supported by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and features this PCORI study by Robert J. Volk, PhD. Key Highlights: 1. Lung cancer screening compliance is strikingly low at 5-6%, despite high risk for those with tobacco history, and additional requirements may further complicate the process. 2. Stigma surrounding lung cancer, primarily due to its association with smoking, can deter people from seeking screening or discussing their health history, despite the fact that people with no tobacco history or people who have not smoked can also develop the disease. 3. Patient involvement in research, through initiatives like citizen science programs, and improved communication of complex information are crucial for advancing lung cancer care and understanding. About our guest: Dr. Bellinda King-Kallimanis is Senior Director of Patient-Focused Research at LUNGevity Foundation. In her work at LUNGevity she aims to ensure that patient and caregiver voices are incorporated in decision making across a wide variety of stakeholders and has built a Citizen Scientist program to aid this. Prior to joining LUNGevity, she worked at the US Food and Drug Administration Oncology Center of Excellence on the Patient Focused Drug Development team. There, she worked on the development and launch of Project Patient Voice, a resource for patients and caregivers along with their healthcare providers to look at patient-reported symptom data collected from cancer clinical trials. Bellinda also has experience in industry and academia and has published over 70 peer-reviewed papers. She received her Bachelor of Social Science and Master of Science in applied statistics from Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia, and her PhD in psychometrics from the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Key Moment: At 38:39 “I've taken it on to try to improve my communication as a researcher, because we spend so many years reading complex materials that you just start talking that way. It does not resonate with my family. They'll be like, what are you talking about? Who do you think you are? So if we really want to be able to talk to people and connect the work we do, then we have to be able to talk about it in much simpler terms. I really do think it's so important for us all to work on our abilities to make sure that we are speaking to each other versus, I've been in plenty of conversations where people are not speaking, they're just speaking around each other because there's a gap in the understanding and healthcare is already like very complex and cancer is really scary. So,just being aware of not talking in acronyms all the time.” Visit the ⁠Manta Cares Website⁠ Disclaimer: All content and information provided in connection with Manta Cares is solely intended for informational and educational purposes only.  This content and information is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Jade Gibson's connection to cancer presented itself at the age of 16 when she was diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer. The experience ignited a desire to help individuals and families affected by cancer, leading her to pursue studies at the Harold P. Freeman Patient Navigation Institute. There she received education on the newly developing field and learned how to apply the navigation model to eliminate common barriers for patients moving through the healthcare system. To date, Ms. Gibson has entered her 19th year of survivorship – lending her voice to address disparities that plague historically marginalized AYA patients from rural communities. As a champion for cancer advocacy, she participates in interviews, virtual conferences, webinars, marketing research, and fundraising. Additionally, serving in the following capacities: • Committee member for the Georgia Cancer Control Consortium (GC3) Survivorship Workgroup and Georgia Prostate Cancer Roundtable Steering Committees. • Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) - Adolescent Young Adult (AYA) Advisory Panel project focusing on identifying barriers to recruiting and engaging underrepresented adolescent and young adults in cancer survivorship research. • BVOGUE participant in the “Centering the Marginalized Voices of Black Patients with Gynecological Cancer as a First Step in Healthcare Curriculum Development,” study supported by MOQC (the Michigan Oncology Quality Consortium). • Ovarian Cancer patient expert with Merakoi, creating healthcare solutions to benefit people living with a chronic illness. • Citizen Scientist for the Ovarian Cancer Outreach with the “Connecting Families to Overcome Ovarian Cancer” study led by Emory University.

It's an absolute delight to welcome Martha Carlin back for her third appearance on the show today! Martha Carlin is a “Citizen Scientist,” systems thinker, wife of Parkinson's warrior John Carlin, and founder of The BioCollective, a microbiome company expanding the reach of science and BiotiQuest, the first of its kind probiotic line. In this episode, we engage in an in-depth conversation about the critical role of the gut microbiome in metabolic health and overall well-being. Martha explains that the gut microbiome is fundamental to metabolic health, with significant shifts in the microbiome influencing metabolism, particularly insulin sensitivity.  Tune in as Martha emphasizes that while indigenous populations show greater microbial diversity, much is still unknown about the effects of various diets, like the ketogenic diet, on the microbiome. Martha acknowledges that meat contains unique fibers like hyaluronic acid that support connective tissue health. While fiber is often considered beneficial, its role can be overrated if the gut microbiome is compromised. Martha explains her reservations about plant-based fibers due to chemical contamination and stresses the importance of a healthy microbiome for overall health.

Alan McGowan delves into Franz Boas's dual identity as both a scientist and a political activist, shedding light on how his work transcended academic boundaries to make a profound impact on society. In The Political Activism of Anthropologist Franz Boas, Citizen Scientist (Cambridge Scholars Press, 2024), McGowan provides a comprehensive overview of Boas's career, from his groundbreaking research on cultural relativism to his advocacy for social justice and racial equality. By drawing on a wealth of primary sources and historical documents, he paints a vivid portrait of Boas as a multifaceted figure whose work was deeply intertwined with his political beliefs. Uncovering the intricate connection between his scientific endeavors and political beliefs, McGowan illuminates how Boas used his platform as an anthropologist to challenge societal norms and advocate for those on the fringes. Furthermore, the book offers valuable insights into the broader implications of Boas's legacy. By emphasizing Boas's commitment to antiracism, cultural relativism, and social justice, the author underscores the enduring relevance of Boas's ideas in contemporary discussions on race, identity, and inequality. McGowan's insightful analysis and engaging narrative style make this book a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the intersection of science, politics, and social change. Alan H. McGowan is Adjunct Professor of Environmental Studies at The New School. Prior to coming to The New School, he founded and was president of the Gene Media Forum, an arm of the Newhouse School of Journalism at Syracuse University. Previously, he was for twenty years the president of the Scientists' Institute for Public Information, a major bridge between the scientific community and the media. His research interests focus on the intersection between science and technology and social issues, including ethics, politics, and the economy. Yadong Li is a PhD student in anthropology at Tulane University. His research interests lie at the intersection of the anthropology of state, the anthropology of time, hope studies, and post-structuralist philosophy.

Physicist and activist, Frank von Hippel discusses his career in arms control and what the future may hold for the world. Two corrections – 1) The Nuclear Weapons Freeze march was from the UN to Central park and 2) The banner in the Freeze march said 177 out of 195 towns voted for the Freeze in Vermont, not 193 out of 197.

Darius Sharpe has an extensive 22-year career in healthcare, including 3 years as an EMT, 13 years as a paramedic, and 6 years as an ER nurse. He is a dedicated fitness and health enthusiast, regularly participating in endurance events such as Spartan Races and marathons. Despite maintaining good health, he was diagnosed as pre-diabetic some years ago and discovered a CAC score of 44 at the age of 39 in the summer of 2023. Since then, he has devoted significant effort to understanding the reasons behind these health issues and determining the appropriate course of action. Darius has become increasingly dissatisfied with the current medical system and has questioned why doctors do not prescribe nutrition and exercise plans to patients instead of solely relying on medication. Drawing on his medical background, Darius has delved deeply into the realms of nutrition, metabolic illness, diabetes, cardiac disease, and autoimmunity. He continues to educate himself daily and has been amazed to discover in the literature how many of these conditions can be prevented, reversed, or improved through simple dietary changes.Find Darius at-IG- @murse_dariusTW- @MurseDariusFB- Darius Sharpehttps://cosci.org/Find Boundless Body at- myboundlessbody.com Book a session with us here!

Dave Feldman is a returning guest on our show! Check out his first appearance on Boundless Body Radio on episode 109, where he was interviewed by our mutual friend, guest host Dr. Nick Norwitz! Dave Feldman is a senior software engineer, entrepreneur and a citizen scientist. After starting a low-carb diet in 2015, Dave found that his cholesterol numbers had increased considerably. He then began reverse-engineering the lipid system through self-experimentation and testing, finding the system to be very dynamic and fluid. He has now demonstrated this phenomenon multiple times by moving his cholesterol up and down substantially in a matter of days. He's discovered similar and reproducible patterns in others and has since researched a particular phenotype that he coined “lean mass hyper responder”, or LMHR for short.Dave is the creator of the popular blog Cholesterol Code, where he shares all of his knowledge and research. Dave is also the founder of the Citizen Science Foundation, a non-profit that has funded several incredible studies. Dave has recently hosted the incredible Collaborative Science Conference in his hometown of Las Vegas in March of 2024, which I was fortunate to attend.

Trekking 11,000 kilometers over the entire length of South America was cool, but for Gregg Treinish— adventurer and National Geographic Explorer of the Year—something was missing. He wondered if somehow he could bring together his passion for being outdoors, his love of big-time adventuring, and his deep interest in science. And there was one more thing; he wanted to somehow make the world a better place. By later starting his own organization, Adventure Scientists, he devised a clever way to accomplish all of the above and to help thousands of other extraordinary adventurers from around the globe become a part of the action.------Learn More  about Gregg Treinish & Adventure Scientists ... and get involved!Adventure Scientists:Website: https://www.adventurescientists.org/Instagram: @adventurescientistsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AdventureScientists/Vimeo Channel: https://vimeo.com/adventurescientistsGregg Treinish:World Economic Forum: Profile Articles and Interviews:*National Geographic: Adventurer and Conservationist Gregg Treinish *Digital-Life-Design Conference: Building a Better FutureThis episode was produced by Chrissie Bodznick with music by Trace Ketterling.Learn more about The Answers Are Out There Podcast at www.theanswersareouttherepodcast.net or on instagram.

The United States Library of Congress selected Dr. Strangelove as one of the first 25 films in the National Film Registry. As we approach the 60th anniversary of Dr. Strangelove (in Jan 2024), our live podcast panel takes a critical look at the dark comedy and reveals how the satire is uncomfortably realistic, even to this day. Using dialogue from the film as prompts, our panel explains to listeners its historical references and draws parallels to today's international diplomatic landscape.

Some questions fall far outside the scope of what governments are designed to answer. How will we explain ourselves to extraterrestrials? What can we say to warn humans 10,000 years in the future about the nuclear waste we're leaving behind? Assuming we develop the proper technology, would it be beneficial to breed glowing cats?Two decades after NASA shot a message to aliens into deep space, one of its authors joined an eclectic group of experts and went down a similar rabbit hole regarding nuclear waste. The result was one of the most outlandish, mind-bending, and heartfelt reports ever commissioned by the US government. This episode features artist Jon Lomberg, former NRDC lawyer Dan Reicher, and futurist Ted Gordon.

Fishermen dying mysteriously off the coast of Japan. Entire populations of sea animals disappearing. Despite decades of work by the international community, the high seas remain law enforcement's biggest blind spot, and the site of environmental crimes whose effects reach around the world. But some people are attempting to stop these crimes: We follow the investigations of two private-citizen sleuths, one using satellites to expose massive but previously untraceable illegal fleets, another using spycraft to infiltrate a criminal network of poachers and smugglers operating on both sides of the Pacific Ocean.This episode features Sara Mitchell, professor of political science at the University of Iowa; as well as Jaeyoon Park of Global Fishing Watch and Andrea Crosta, founder and Executive Director of Earth League International.

In February 2020, an elite group of biosecurity experts, worried about the threat of pandemics, plays a bizarrely prescient role-playing game. They run into an age-old pattern of secrecy and mistrust, one that thwarts their efforts to ‘beat' the game. We travel back to a (real-life) period when dozens of mysterious deaths occurred in a closed Soviet city. As it turns out, hidden pieces of lung tissue help shed light on what, to this day, keeps the nations of the world from working together to fight infectious disease.

There are no international laws against littering in space, which is a shame, because individual governments love to blow things up in low-Earth orbit. The result? A crisis of ricocheting debris that goes on forever. As private industry sends an unprecedented number of satellites into orbit, security experts find themselves in a race against the clock to bring sanity (or sanitation?) to the space around us. This episode features former NASA astrophysicist Donald Kessler, Professor Mariel Borowitz of Georgia Tech, and Victoria Samson and Brian Weeden of the Secure World Foundation.

An arms-control advocate accepts an invitation to the dacha of a hard-partying North Korean power broker. There, through a haze of smoke and propaganda, they identify some common ground and set out to test a hypothesis: That it's possible for Americans and North Koreans to work together toward peace. The result is a tense but extraordinary moment in the relationship between North Korea and the West, a rare example of collaboration that has been almost entirely lost to history.This episode features Peter Hayes and Lyuba Zarsky, co-founders of the Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainability, and David von Hippel, an energy expert who worked with Peter in North Korea.

As the Cold War draws to a close, a group of American scientists hatches a plan to board a Soviet warship with a nuclear weapons detector to prove to their own government that the USSR is open to nuclear arms verification. Meet the guys who brought a slug of depleted uranium through security at LaGuardia Airport, sat atop a Soviet nuclear device in the Black Sea, and skinny-dipped with their counterparts from the other side of the Iron Curtain.This episode features three physicists: Tom Cochran, formerly of the NRDC; Frank von Hippel, a professor of physics at Princeton University; and Steve Fetter, a professor at the University of Maryland. 

If you're reading this, and you're not in some sort of irradiated, post-apocalyptic hellscape… well, you can thank our host Jeffrey Lewis. He studies nukes—who has them, who wants them, and how to prevent them from going off—so that we're less likely to die in a nuclear war.  The thing is, lots of people have jobs like this. They're not celebrities and they're not even politicians. They're the people looking for solutions to problems that most people haven't thought about yet, doing research that most people won't ever hear about, and, of course, writing papers that most people are never going to read. But collectively, they're making it a little less likely that war will break out, bombs will fall, and we'll all die horribly. Call them wonks, call them cranks, call them idealists…we call them the reason we're all still here.This prologue establishes what you'll hear this season: the type of international, non-governmental diplomacy that aims to keep civilization alive. Sometimes solutions are found in unlikely places… like a suitcase shop in Tehran. This episode features an unlikely friend of Dr. Lewis: Max Angerholzer, CEO of George and Barbara Bush Foundation.

Imagine a world where you could restore balance to your body, combat chronic diseases, and improve health trajectories through a deep understanding of your microbiome. That's exactly what we're exploring today with businesswoman-turned-research-scientist Martha Carlin, who embarked on this incredible journey after her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's at a young age. Her captivating research has led to groundbreaking connections between the microbiome and the onset of chronic diseases such as Parkinson's, and she believes that restoring the microbiome could make a substantial difference in our overall health.   We're diving into the complex world of microbial peptides, toxins, and pathogens, particularly their influence on the body's immune system. We also discuss the potential links between copper, iron, and neurological diseases, and how copper's role in iron regulation could have far-reaching implications. Martha's fascinating insights also shed light on the connection between glyphosate, food contamination, and how it could be affecting our health.   Martha Carlin is a Citizen Scientist, systems thinker, wife of Parkinson's warrior, John Carlin, and founder of The BioCollective, a microbiome company expanding the reach of science. Since John's diagnosis in 2002, Martha began learning the science of agriculture, nutrition, environment, infectious disease, Parkinson's pathology and much more. In 2014, when the first research was published showing a connection between the gut bacteria and the two phenotypes of Parkinson's, Martha quit her former career as a business turnaround expert and founded The BioCollective to accelerate the discovery of the impact of gut health on all human health, including Parkinson's.       Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: Learn more and shop at biotiquest.com + use code NAT10 for a 10% off discount BiOptimizers: For Sleep Breakthrough use code BIONAT10 at checkout to save 10% at sleepbreakthrough.com/bionat Berkeley Life: Consumers may register and place an order using my code NIDDBL for 10% off at berkeleylife.com LVLUP: Use code NAT10 to save 10% off at https://lvluphealth.com/ Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat's Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   Find more from Martha Carlin: Website: https://biotiquest.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BiotiQuest Twitter: https://twitter.com/BiotiQuest Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/biotiquest/ What we discuss: (0:00:04) - Parkinson's and the microbiome link (0:08:59) - Sleep disruption in neurodegenerative diseases (0:13:29) - Toxins, pathogens, and the Parkinson's microbiome (0:24:35) - Copper's role in iron regulation (0:42:49) - Glyphosate contamination and organic farming (0:47:59) - Parkinson's symptoms improvement through diet (0:54:30) - Red light therapy and microbiome health (1:04:33) - Improving health and restoring balance Key Takeaways: In some ways, the process of consuming food can be seen as a way of receiving information from the food itself. When we eat, our bodies extract various nutrients and compounds from the food, which contain valuable information that gets transmitted to our system. The gut plays a crucial role in this process, serving as the interface or channel for communication between the food and our cells. Heat Shock Protein (HSP) 65 is produced by certain pathogens or microbes, and it is not beneficial to us. On the other hand, HSP 60 and Alpha-b Crystallin play important roles in maintaining our health. However, the presence of the nefarious alpha crystalline and HSP 65 confuses our body, causing it to mistakenly attack our own beneficial proteins.  Higher iron levels may increase the likelihood of hosting more pathogens, and the immune system responds by attempting to sequester the iron and prevent pathogen access. However, this defensive strategy often involves storing iron in the body's tissues, which subsequently leads to inflammation.  

Parkinson's disease is the fasting growing neurological condition in the country today. So, when Martha Carlin found out that her husband was diagnosed with this progressive illness, she went into action immediately.  She transitioned from her thriving career as a systems expert to become a Citizen Scientist and explore the science connecting the microbiome to the brain in hopes of finding a cure for her husband.  Martha has now emerged as a leading authority in the realm of the human biome. At the helm of her company, The BioCollective, she now offers state of the art research to find underlying causes of this devastating diagnosis and has developed a proprietary formulation called Sugar Shift, which targets the way the body metabolizes sugars and re-establishes harmony to the gut and brain connection.  As Martha shares in the podcast, this has had a profound and positive effect upon her husband's condition!  Join Ann Louise and Martha Carlin in this illuminating conversation as they explore the groundbreaking work that aims to revolutionize our understanding of human health and the connections from the soil to the food to our guts and our brains.

In this broken healthcare system, people are given life-altering diagnoses, handed a bottle of pills, and nothing else. There's no talk of food, which is crazy because we're made of what's going through our bodies.   Daily, we suffer assaults on our microbiome, and it's a constant vigilant battle to protect our gut health.   How can we combat the chemical toxicity around and even inside us?   In this episode, I'm joined by Citizen Scientist, systems thinker, wife of a Parkinson's warrior, and founder of The BioCollective, Martha Carlin. She shares her journey and how to claw back our gut health.   An infected microbiome is the ideology of nearly every disease today. -Jay Campbell     Three Things We Learned   - The root cause of most chronic diseases Gut health is a huge factor in optimization, how do we promote it?   - You can't trust your gut if it's highly inflamed How do we clean up our microbiome so that it functions as it should?   - Chemical toxicity everywhere Is there any value in eating GMO foods?    Guest Bio   Martha Carlin is a Citizen Scientist, systems thinker, wife of Parkinson's warrior, John Carlin, and founder of The BioCollective, a microbiome company expanding the reach of science.

Heart disease experts have always emphasized the importance of maintaining low levels of LDL cholesterol, commonly known as "bad cholesterol." Here comes David Feldman, an engineer who was on the verge of developing diabetes. In an effort to better his health, he made the decision to try a low-carb, high-fat diet. Even his sister and father followed suit. As a result, his LDL cholesterol levels increased, but his family did not experience the same effect. Many people believe that genetics play a crucial role in how the body processes a high-fat diet, but David's findings challenged this notion.
