Ep 936 Why Two Women Can Eat The Same Foods & Get Completely Different Results with Martha Carlin

What if the answer to energy, metabolism, inflammation, brain health, and longevity isn’t another diet — but your microbiome?

In this episode of The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda sits down with microbiome researcher Martha Carlin to discuss the fascinating science connecting gut health, metabolic flexibility, inflammation, circadian rhythms, and chronic disease prevention.

You’ll discover:

• Why identical diets create different results
• The connection between gut health and blood sugar regulation
• How toxins disrupt microbial balance
• The role microbes play in energy and metabolism
• What endotoxins are and why they matter
• The gut-brain connection and cognitive health
• Practical ways to support your microbiome naturally

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still struggling to feel your best — this episode may change how you think about health forever.
