Restoring Gut Health to Prevent Disease with Martha Carlin
Martha is a pioneering force in microbiome research, on a deeply personal mission to revolutionize how we approach health, gut science, and chronic diseases.
After her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2002, Martha taught herself chemistry, physics, microbiology, and genetics to understand the world of the microbiome and how whole-body wellness is tied to a healthy gut. She founded The BioCollective, a microbiome research company, and BiotiQuest, a probiotic brand designed to restore gut health.
With numerous scientific publications and patents under her belt, Martha’s work is shaping the future of how we view health and disease prevention. She received a $1.2 million NIH grant for her groundbreaking work and was named a Colorado Titan 100 CEO in 2020.
A respected voice in the microbiome field, Martha was a speaker at The White House 2016 Microbiome Initiative launch, and has addressed industry events worldwide. She also spoke at TedxBoulder, advocating for a more holistic, systems-based approach to medicine.
