Be Kind & Grateful to Be Great PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCASTHuman Connection Matters More Than DataDr. Mishra opens with Dean Ornish's idea that connection and community are as essential as food, water, and air. He argues we are drowning in data but starving for direction, and asks listeners to stop tracking themselves for a week and intentionally engage with real humans.Biomarkers Alone Cannot Measure VitalityDespite years of research—including PRP innovation and extensive self-testing—Dr. Mishra emphasizes that no single biomarker or panel can accurately quantify vitality. He critiques the booming longevity-tech market for offering more marketing than science.The Hottest Longevity Tests Have Limited EvidenceHe reviews four major categories:* Blood-based biomarker panels: Huge market but very little peer-reviewed evidence supporting meaningful insights.* Microbiome testing: Promising but still early; diverse gut bacteria correlate with healthier aging.* Biologic clocks (epigenetic, facial, retinal): Interesting but inconsistent, easily cherry-picked, and not yet clinically integrated.* Liquid biopsies & whole-body MRI: Useful mainly for high-risk populations; false positives can cause harm.Overall: science lags far behind the hype.The Best Ways to Slow Biological Aging Are Proven and SimpleBased on published data, the most reliable methods to slow biological aging remain:* Consistent physical activity* High-quality sleep* Calorie restriction* Plant-forward diet* Optimal vitamin D* Higher income* Higher educationA Hybrid Future: Start With Human Vitality, Then Add TechDr. Mishra recommends:* Prioritizing human actions AI cannot do—forgiveness, fun, imagination, courage, resilience, service, connection.* Considering comprehensive testing at two strategic “warranty expiration” stages: early 40s and late 50s.* Building a future where human vitality comes first, and elite technology augments—not replaces—our humanity.Copyright, VyVerse, LLC.

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Emeran Mayer, Executive Director at the UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress and Resilience and founder of Mayer Interconnected. They explore the science behind the gut-brain connection and its role in shaping health and longevity.Emeran explains how signals flow between the brain, gut, and microbiome, influencing everything from digestion to emotions. He breaks down how modern diets, especially ultra-processed foods, disrupt the natural balance between humans and gut microbes—a relationship refined over thousands of years. The conversation highlights why early life exposure to antibiotics can have lasting effects on microbiome resilience, and how lifestyle choices like diet and exercise remain powerful tools for supporting gut-brain health at any age.The discussion closes with a look toward the future of gut-brain science, including engineered probiotics and the promise of more targeted therapies. Emeran shares practical habits for better gut-brain health and cautions against quick-fix “biohacking,” encouraging a return to whole foods, movement, and mindful living.Guest-at-a-Glance

In this fascinating episode, Dr. Samuel Miller, Senior Scientist and Postdoctoral Research Associate at Oklahoma State University's Elshahed Laboratory and Microbiomics & Culturomics Core Facility, takes us deep into the unseen world of anaerobic microbes — the mysterious bacteria that thrive without oxygen and shape ecosystems from the human gut to the soil beneath our feet. A leading expert in culturomics and microbial taxonomy, Dr. Miller's work focuses on isolating and identifying previously uncultivated bacterial species, expanding our understanding of microbial diversity and their critical roles in human and environmental health. Tune in to explore: ·       The fundamental differences between anaerobic and aerobic bacteria. ·       What happens when anaerobes are exposed to oxygen — and why it matters. ·       How uncultivated microbes influence the human gut, immune system, and beyond. ·       The revolutionary impact of culturomics on microbiome science. As Dr. Miller explains, studying these elusive microorganisms isn't just about discovery — it's about uncovering the hidden systems that sustain life. From medical breakthroughs to ecological balance, his research is helping to rewrite what we know about microbial evolution, symbiosis, and resilience. Stay connected with Dr. Miller and his research through LinkedIn and X, and discover how the next generation of microbiologists is redefining the future of microbial science.

Millions of women in their 30s–50s are being told they're “depressed” when their brains and hormones are simply changing. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz to unpack the truth about midlife mood shifts, rage, and the hormonal fluctuations that mimic depression but aren't the same. We break down the science of perimenopause, why women are so often misdiagnosed, and how decades of excluding women from research left major gaps in understanding how estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone shape the brain. Dr. Gilberg-Lenz reveals how hormonal changes—starting up to ten years before menopause—can transform mood, cognition, and stress, and how modern science is finally catching up to just how powerfully hormones influence the mind. About the guest:Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz is a board-certified OB/GYN and integrative women's health expert who blends conventional medicine with Ayurvedic training. A USC-trained physician with a residency at Cedars-Sinai, she supports women from adolescence through menopause and is the author of Menopause Bootcamp (Harper Wave, 2022).

Do you ever wonder why it feels like everyone else is healing faster than you or your child?Comparing timelines is something I see a lot of and it's something I have experienced myself. It can be really hard to be months into your journey and see someone else making remarkable progress in just two days! There's this quiet pressure most women carry, and no one really talks about it out loud. The pressure to grow faster. Heal faster. Figure things out faster. To not fall behind. To keep pace with whatever invisible timeline we think we're supposed to be on. And when healing is part of the story, that pressure multiplies. You start comparing your child's progress to someone else's. You compare how quickly someone else's skin cleared or how fast another woman felt “better” in her body. You start thinking your timeline means something about you. Or your motherhood. Or your effort. Or the choices you've made.Your timeline is not a measure of how well you're doing. Your timeline is a mirror of who you're becoming.Healing isn't just symptoms leaving the body. It's the nervous system learning safety again. It's the mind slowly moving out of survival mode. It's the body trusting itself enough to let go of things it's been holding for years, gosh, for most of us… our entire lives. And deep growth, the kind you actually feel in your bones, never happens on a schedule. It unfolds in the pace your life can hold. The pace your motherhood can hold. The pace your nervous system can hold.Thanks for listening!

Why is it so hard to find real guidance about wisdom teeth, fluoride, and braces for our families?When I first invited Dr. Barry Gillespie onto the podcast, I thought I was bringing on a traditional-turned-biological dentist. This is what I shared in my community The Rebalancing Collective, and what I shared on my instagram stories when I was gathering all the questions you wanted answered. But as soon as we began talking, I quickly realized I had misunderstood and what unfolded ended up being far more empowering than the conversation I originally imagined.What makes this conversation so powerful isn't just Dr. Gillespie's wisdom. It's the honesty that only comes from someone who has lived inside the traditional system, followed the rules, believed in the model, and then had his entire perspective altered by real life. He's here sharing his opinions after fifty years of seeing both sides… what dentistry teaches and what he now knows to be true about whole-body healing. And for me, that carries a different kind of weight. When I walked into my house after this interview, Ty and our kids asked me how it went, and the only words I could find were, “I feel like I just sat with one of those wise people you see in documentaries… someone who has actually lived the things he's talking about.” His insight means so much to me, and I know to every single one of you listening, because we're not here for symptom-masking or band-aids. We're here for lived experience. And hearing from someone who has walked both sides and now chooses a different path is deeply grounding and profoundly empowering.You'll hear his honest, unfiltered opinions on the things so many of us feel pressured into… wisdom teeth removal, fluoride, braces, root canals, and why, as he says, “you don't want to go along with the herd.” He takes you out of fear and back into discernment. The conversation around wisdom teeth alone is going to shift how you think about dental timelines. We compare it to circumcision, how the culture tells us to do something simply because “that's what everyone does,” instead of making decisions with intention and understanding. If you're someone who's ever sat in a dental chair or a doctor's office wondering, “Is this really the only way?”... this episode is for you. It's humbling, empowering, and filled with the kind of wisdom that helps you see your health in a whole new light.I can't wait for you to meet Berry! Let's get into it!Thanks for listening!

With hosts Dr. Amy Park and Dr. Mark Hoffman, Dr. Smith provides an extensive overview of contemporary TOA management, emphasizing the significance of early intervention and the evolving understanding of TOAs beyond traditional STI etiologies. --- SYNPOSIS The conversation delves into the management of TOAs, both non-ruptured and ruptured, and the underexplored connection to the female reproductive tract microbiome. They also touch on the integration of AI in clinical practice, particularly in streamlining administrative tasks. The episode underscores the need for updated guidelines and more research into the microbiological aspects of TOAs to improve patient outcomes. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 02:20 - Understanding TOAs: Early Interventions and Challenges04:43 - Clinical Management of TOAs08:06 - Surgical Approaches and Considerations22:25 - Microbiome and Infection Insights32:10 - Discussing Patient Reactions and Education32:47 - Teaching Practices and Medical Education34:18 - Clinical Observations and Data36:55 - Surgical Management of Ruptured TOAs40:50 - Challenges in Treating Infected Endometriomas50:13 - Exploring the Role of AI in Medical Practice54:23 - Concluding Remarks --- RESOURCES ACOG Recommends Concurrent Sexual Partner Treatment for Recurrent Bacterial Vaginosis for the First Timehttps://www.acog.org/news/news-releases/2025/10/acog-recommends-concurrent-sexual-partner-treatment-recurrent-bacterial-vaginosis-first-time Strange Bedfellows, Ina Park MD, MS https://www.inapark.net/the-book

In this episode, we explore four transformative topics reshaping how we think about whole-body health:1. The Lasting Impact of Prescription Drugs on Gut HealthFrom antibiotics to acid reducers, we uncover how common medications can shift the delicate microbial balance in ways that influence digestion, metabolism, and even mental well-being.2. MIT's Discovery: An Amino Acid That Helps the Gut Heal ItselfBreakthrough science takes center stage as we examine MIT's recent findings surrounding a specific amino acid shown to support gut barrier integrity. We translate the lab data into real-world insights, exploring how this discovery could inspire future therapies. 3. Superstars for Gut–Brain Axis Health and VitalityMeet the nutrients that support a thriving communication network between your gut and brain. From Wellness Resources we spotlight the “all-stars” that keep your inner ecosystem and emotional wellness in sync. 4. Top 20 Natural Remedies Overlooked by Mainstream MedicineWe explore the history, cultural significance, and research landscape surrounding these natural options and play a clip by Dr. Eric Berg exploring what these remedies are and more importantly what they have been used for.

Are we being bamboozled by "evidence"?  In episode 236 of Growing Older Living Younger, Dr. Joseph Jacko explains how pharmaceutic and other corporate funding skews what we are told, why absolute risk matters more than splashy headline statistics, and how a deeper understanding of hormones and our metabolism, the microbiome –brain connection, and regenerative tools can help you build real health and extend your healthspan,—not just live with and manage disease. We pull back the curtain on how corporate interests and publication bias can distort medical "evidence," why relative risk often misleads patients and clinicians, and what it really takes to build health rather than simply manage disease. We cover functional and regenerative approaches, hormone optimization, the gut microbiome, the limits of mega-studies vs "N of 1," and why the basics—eat, move, think, connect are still winning strategies. We also touch on hot-button topics from COVID-era data framing to statins, dementia risk signals, and why dancing may be gold for the brain.   Dr. Joe Jacko is a physician specializing in internal medicine, sports and regenerative medicine, preventive medicine, and longevity science.  He earned his BA in Biology from Wittenberg University and his MD from The Ohio State University College of Medicine, followed by an Internal Medicine Residency at Mount Carmel Medical Center and a Sports Medicine Fellowship at the Hughston Orthopaedic Clinic. Time Line:   00:00 – 04:00 — Why "live younger, longer" matters Dr. Jacko's pivot from guideline-driven sick care to pursuing optimal function and prevention. Setting the stage: curiosity, critical thinking, and personal responsibility in health.  04:00 – 12:00 — Systems, incentives, and the evidence we see How funding, training, and time pressure shape medical guidelines and clinical habits. Practical tip: don't outsource thinking—ask what the recommendation is optimized for.  12:00 – 20:00 — Risk stats & research reality checks Relative vs absolute risk, publication bias, and why splashy headlines often mislead. Nutrition mega-studies, recall bias, and learning to read beyond the abstract.  20:00 – 28:00 — The longevity stack: basics that win Protein-forward nutrition; strength, cardio, balance/flexibility; connection and joy. Regenerative options and movement medicine for bones, brain, and metabolic health.  28:00 – 35:00 — Meds, hormones, and the gut–brain axis Considering downstream effects (e.g., pathway blocking) and personalizing hormone care. Microbiome testing, pH context, and using "N of 1" data to tailor interventions.  35:00 – 40:00 — Action steps & closing takeaways Five habits: stay curious, verify sources, seek second opinions, and think in absolutes.  Learn about Dr. Joseph Jacko and the book: Bamboozled, Duped and Hoodwinked: Keys to Escaping the Tricks, Deceptions, and Half-Truths of the Medical Industry  JackoMD180.com Contact Dr. Gillian Lockitch at askdrgill@gmail.com Check out the Growing Older Living Younger Community Book a chat with Dr. Gillian Lockitch here Please share this link with your friends and subscribe for free to the show.  

Dr. Sabine Hazan is a pioneering gastroenterologist and the first physician to launch a private microbiome testing lab in the U.S. In this powerful episode, she reveals how decades of clinical experience and cutting-edge research have convinced her that the gut microbiome—especially the near-extinction of key bacteria like Bifidobacteria—lies at the root of Autism, Alzheimer's, cancer, and many chronic diseases. Speaking candidly about the erosion of the doctor-patient relationship, relentless censorship, and the profit-driven forces that have turned medicine into a pill-pushing machine, Dr. Hazan explains why she believes the art of medicine is dying—and how restoring the microbiome could bring it back to lifeProgenabiome: https://progenabiome.comClinical Trials: https://progenabiome.com/clinical-trialsX: https://x.com/SabinehazanMDChroma Light Devices, use "BFCM2025" for 21% discount at https://getchroma.co/?ref=autismUse "autism"$50 discount https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autism10% discount https://figtreegolf.com/?ref=autismhttps://thecognity.com0:00 Chroma, use "BFCM2025"; Daylight Computer & Fig Tree Golf, use "autism"2:00 Dr. Sabine Hazan; Gastroenterologist; Microbiome; Fecal Transplant; Covid, Alzheimers, Cancer, Gut Conditions7:12 The Impact of COVID on Medical Perspectives; Censorship & Narratives12:26 The Art of Medicine & Relationships- more than just pills (Big Harma)16:28 Understanding Autism & Microbiome connections; Cancer21:16 Challenges with Clinical Trials & Funding26:58 Innovations in Treatment versus the Status Quo31:44 Censorship & Narrative Control (Profits over Humanity); Dr. Andy Wakefield & Autism35:52 The Role of Vaccines & Antibiotics40:16 Future of Microbiome Research & Treatment; Bifidobacteria47:52 Preserving the Microbiome; Mother's & Autism; Autism Research54:18 Fighting Censorship in Science; Narrative Control1:00:56 Lab Testing for Autism; Red Light; Dr. Jack Kruse1:09:14 Collaborating versus Censorship1:13:03 Humanity & Health; Profits over Humanity1:17:27 The Medical Oath; Urgency in Microbiome & BifidobacteriaX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Creatine is being called a "cognitive super-drug" that feels like "speed without the speed." Influencers are telling you to mega-dose 20 grams a day for brain power, bone health, and more. But what does the science actually say?In this episode, we go beyond the hype and fact-check the wildest creatine claims taking over the internet. I break down the real evidence on mega-dosing, and put the cognitive benefits to the testI react to clips from Paul Saladino, Jeff Cavalier, Rhonda Patrick, and Dave Asprey to separate proven fact from marketing fiction. Discover the simple, science-backed creatine protocol that actually works, and save your money (and your gut) in the process.This video was produced by One Billion Media, an agency that specializes in YouTube virality for health brands and experts.

This week, we are joined by Kevin Mitchell, Associate Professor of Genetics and Neuroscience at Trinity College Dublin, who has committed the unforgivable sin of pointing out that an entire academic and media hype cycle might be built on… well, very little actually. His new co-authored paper in Neuron politely dismantles the highly promoted link between the gut microbiome and autism, which turns out to rest on flawed studies, contradictory findings, creative statistics, and a touching faith in mice burying marbles.Kevin walks us through the joys of observational studies that don't replicate, mouse experiments that don't make sense, and clinical trials where there is no blinding and no control wing, and shockingly, everyone reports feeling better. Meanwhile, journalists and wellness gurus eagerly report each new “breakthrough”, unburdened by any concerns about the strength of evidence or methodological robustness.In the end, the microbiome–autism connection looks less like a sturdy scientific stool and more like three damp twigs taped together by optimism and marketing departments.We finish, naturally, by dragging Matt back out of his panpsychism phase and asking whether consciousness is really fundamental to the universe or just something that happens in podcasters who haven't slept enough.LinksMitchell, K. J., Dahly, D. L., & Bishop, D. V. (2025). Conceptual and methodological flaws undermine claims of a link between the gut microbiome and autism. Neuron.Kevin Mitchell's Website

In this episode of Asking for a Friend, we're getting real about what's happening inside your body in midlife—far beyond diet culture, quick fixes, or another “Motivation Monday.”I'm joined by Christa Tyler, functional nutritionist, founder of Your Gut Goddess, and breast cancer survivor whose near-fatal sepsis and reconstructive surgery complications sent her on a mission to rebuild health from the inside out. From a hospital bed to a thriving practice, Christa's story is a powerful example of why midlife women can't afford to ignore their gut, hormones, and metabolism any longer.We dig into:The blood tests every woman should be asking for in midlife: fasting insulin, A1C, vitamin D, hs-CRP, homocysteine, lipids, B12, and moreWhy “normal range” on labs isn't always optimal—and how to track trends over timeThe difference between a short-term diet and a sustainable wellness lifestyle (and why 95% of diets fail)How gut health, fiber, and the microbiome influence cravings, weight regulation, mood, and long-term disease riskThe real impact of alcohol on gut health and hormonesHow to help your 20- and 30-something kids build a foundation for longevity nowMovement, steps, and simple daily habits to nursing-home-proof your futureIf you're a midlife woman navigating perimenopause or menopause, confused about your labs, or wondering where to start with gut health, this conversation will give you the questions, tools, and mindset to become your own best health advocate.You can find Christa Tyler at https://www.instagram.com/yourgutgoddess/To get a FREE Food, Mood, Poop Journal, go to https://christa-tyler.com/_________________________________________1:1 health and nutrition coaching or Faster Way - Reach me anytime at mailto:mfolanfasterway@gmail.com If you're doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, it may be time to look deeper.

If you're curious as to whether you have any stored emotions or trauma that might be causing your illness, preventing you from achieving your goals, or even just showing up as the best, authentic version of yourself, I invite you to take my free Stored Emotions and Trauma QuizWhat if functional medicine is just another kind of greenwashed medicine, still missing the real root cause?Supplements and stricter health routines don't always bring us closer to true healing. After decades in microbiology and functional medicine, I've watched the field drift toward complexity and noise, often replacing pills with powders, not purpose. A recent conversation with a longtime friend confirmed what I'd been intuitively feeling for years: even our so-called “holistic” approaches can keep us sick.More testing, stricter diets, and endless “shoulds” can disconnect us from our own intuition. The good news is, there is something that drives lasting change. Because sometimes the best “treatment” isn't another supplement at all. Your body already knows what it needs, you just have to listen.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[03:47] Why functional and integrative medicine can unintentionally harm more than help[06:12] What happens when health advice turns into noise and “shoulds” that disconnect you from your body[09:34] How one practitioner's trip to Europe shattered my ideas of what “healthy” really means[12:56] The surprising reason some “unhealthy” people still thrive while the wellness-obsessed don't[15:43] Why no single diet or protocol can work for everyone, and what to do instead[18:27] How genetic and biochemical individuality change what balance looks like for you[19:55] The real foundation of healing hidden beneath supplements and lab results[21:42] When functional medicine truly shines, and when it crosses into overcomplication[22:58] Why honoring your own intuition is the most powerful medicine you haveFind More From Dr. Stephanie Davis:Dr. Stephanie Davis | WebsiteQuantum Rx | InstagramQuantum Rx | Skool

Episode 61 Focus: Special Guest Dr Jason Hawrelak ND.We discuss why health is an active daily process rather than an occasional state, the subtle damages of the Western diet, the distinction between sugar and fruit, and personalized approaches to healing serious GI conditions.Mouse Study Revelation: Research suggests that mice eating a junk food diet only on the weekends suffered almost as much microbiome damage as mice eating junk food seven days a week, illustrating the importance of consistent, daily nourishment.The Gut-Brain-Immune Axis: The decisions we make daily—from food choices to stress and sleep—directly impact the microbiome, which, in turn, influences mood, immunity, and long-term disease risk.Saturated Fat, and gut health.Crohn's Disease and IBD: IBD symptoms (Crohn's, Colitis) show similar patterns of dysbiosis: too few beneficial, anti-inflammatory bacteria (like Faecalibacterium prausnitzii) and too many pro-inflammatory or pathogenic species (like certain E. coli strains).Dietary Emulsifiers: A major driver of IBD and inflammation is the consumption of dietary emulsifiers (e.g., carrageenan, polysorbate 80) found in ultra-processed foods. These compounds actively strip away the protective mucus layer, allowing microbes and toxins to interact with the immune system.Saturated Fat and Pathogens: Saturated fats (from dairy, lard, or coconut) behave differently in the gut:They encourage the growth of bacteria like Bilophila wadsworthia (a bile-loving bug) by increasing bile sulfur levels.Bilophila produces hydrogen sulfide gas, which is linked to IBD risk and visceral hypersensitivity (painful, oversensitive nerves in the gut).Saturated fat can also bind to and increase the absorption of endotoxin (a bacterial toxin), driving systemic inflammation.Optimal Protein: A plant-forward omnivore or pescatarian diet is optimal. A high-fiber diet mitigates many of the risks associated with moderate protein intake. For IBD flares, temporarily reducing red meat is often necessary to suppress hydrogen sulfide-producing microbes.Key Takeaways:The Single Most Important Action: Eat a diverse, high-fiber, plant-forward diet aiming for ∼50g of fiber daily.Be Aware of Toxins: Avoid ultra-processed foods, emulsifiers, and minimize pesticide exposure (eat organic when possible) to protect the gut lining.You can find out more about Dr Jason Hawrelak ND, BNat(Hons), PhD, FNHAA, MASN, FACN ProbioticAdvisor.comInterested in testing your gut microbes?

In this second episode, we discuss how infant microbiomes develop and what factors shape them, and how early life disruptions may increase the risk of disease. The conversation also touches on the hygiene and biodiversity hypothesis, the role of dysbiosis in conditions like atopic dermatitis, and the ongoing challenge of teasing apart whether microbiome shifts are causes or markers of disease.Special thanks to Incyte for supporting this independent medical education program.

Red meat, when eaten as part of a nutrient-rich, whole-food diet, supports brain function and gut health by supplying hard-to-get nutrients like vitamin B12, zinc, selenium, choline, and taurine that enhance mitochondrial energy and mental clarity People who included moderate amounts of red meat in a high-quality diet had higher brain-supporting nutrient levels and greater gut microbial diversity — key indicators of resilience and emotional well-being Processed meats such as bacon and sausage are a different story; even half a slice daily was linked to faster cognitive aging, higher dementia risk, and damage caused by nitrosamine formation from nitrites Choosing grass fed and finished red meat, cooking it gently, and pairing it with antioxidant-rich vegetables maximizes nutrients while minimizing oxidative stress and inflammation Collagen-rich cuts like oxtail, shank, or bone broth balance the amino acid profile of muscle meat, strengthening connective tissue, improving sleep, and reducing inflammation for lasting vitality

The microbiome continues to be viewed as a cornerstone of health, whether we are discussing the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular risk, immune dysfunction, and even cognitive health. One major contributions of the microbiome to our global health is in the production of short-chain fatty acids. Primary among these products is a compound known as n-butyrate. N-butyrate has profound roles, not only in our gut, but throughout our entire body. What are all the impacts of n-butyrate, and how do we foster an adequate supply of it? These are but some of the questions we discuss on today’s Lab Report. In this episode, we continue our spree on the importance of gut health. We cover food sources that are important for microbiome health, particularly for fermentation of short-chain fatty acids. We also cover how butyrate impacts the gut, the immune system, and much more. With all the profound roles of n-butyrate, it begs the question: is it the greatest of all the things made by our microbiome? Today on The Lab Report: 5:30 Gut microbiome production of SCFA’s (short-chain fatty acids) 6:30 Food sources of n-butyrate 8:00 Let’s Google It: The entomology of ‘butyrate’ 9:00 Butyrogenic species: What bacteria produce butyrate? 10:45 How butyrate is used throughout the body 13:00 Logical Speculation: n-butyrate, autoimmunity, and fiber 15:45 The gut-brain axis and appetite are influenced by butyrate 20:30 Skeletal muscle also responds to butyrate 23:30 Foods to eat to promote butyrate 26:00 N-Butyrate supplementation: mixed studies?

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today, I'm joined by Martha Carlin, a woman who turned heartbreak into groundbreaking innovation. When her husband John was diagnosed with Parkinson's, Martha refused to accept the standard “there's nothing you can do.” Instead, she built a team of microbiologists, chemists, and researchers and founded The BioCollective, one of the first large-scale stool banks for Parkinson's research.In this conversation, Martha shares what she discovered about the gut-brain connection, from the role of calcium and endotoxins to the emotional trauma that so often precedes disease. We talk about the origins of BiotiQuest, the company born from her desire to create living microbial systems that restore balance to the gut. Her formulations—like Sugar Shift, Perfect Peace, and the Total Gut Reset—don't just add bacteria; they build microbial teams that communicate, heal, and support human resilience.Martha also opens up about losing her husband in 2024 and what she's learned about the lasting impact of environmental toxins, cleaning products, and emotional repression on our biology. It's a conversation that redefines what healing means—and reminds us that science, love, and purpose can coexist beautifully. Episode Highlights[00:00] – How Martha earned the title “Poop Queen” and why studying fecal samples changed everything[02:33] – The Parkinson's journey that started it all: from diagnosis to data-driven discovery[04:59] – Building a poop bank: designing the patented BioCollector and pioneering stool-based research[06:54] – What Parkinson's stool looks like—and what it reveals about the disease[10:55] – Environmental toxins, pesticides, and mercury exposure: mapping the chemical burden[13:20] – The emotional triggers behind Parkinson's and why grief, fear, and loss matter[18:34] – Giant viruses, latent infections, and hidden pathogens in the microbiome[22:04] – The role of endotoxin in neurodegeneration and the link to chronic inflammation[32:18] – How diet, sugar, and soy influence symptoms—and the microbiome shifts that heal[34:43] – Creating Sugar Shift: a probiotic that turns sugar into healing fuel[37:05] – Pivoting during COVID: launching BiotiQuest and building living microbial systems[41:24] – The dangers of cleaning products and surfactants that damage cellular membranes[47:00] – Emotional release, spiritual connection, and the Healing ALS framework[51:49] – How Perfect Peace and Sugar Shift help calm the body and restore the gut ecosystem[56:35] – The Total Gut Reset: Martha's full protocol for restoring gut resilience[58:36] – Honoring John's legacy and the lessons learned through love, science, and loss Links & ResourcesBiotiQuest: https://biotiquest.com/Follow BiotiQuest on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/biotiquest/The Biological Blueprint Program: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/Beam Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENSilver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD— 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENLightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794— Code: beautifullybrokenCatchBio: https://catchbio.com — Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Microbes are everywhere and studying them isn't always easy, but microbial ecology is a vitally important field. Microbes influence the world around them in numerous ways and trying to understand how they do that with plants is where people like Dr. Leonora Bittleston come in. Join us as we explore the leaf microbiomes of sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) and various species of pitcher plants (Sarracenia, Nepenthes, and Cephalotus) and learn just how fractal community ecology truly is!
