And she was. In high school, she peaked early and reached the pinnacle of achievements when she won Most Talkative for her high school yearbook. She has lived up to that title with her long storied career in radio and tv broadcasting since shoulder pads were in style (1986). Lisa is a certified health coach, podcast host, a journalist and future TikTok sensation. Her greatest accomplishments? Married to the same man since 1988, mom of three and grandmother to three really cute grandchildren.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T14:19:39.999383+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-lisa-fischer-said-podcast-2008739"},"episode":{"title":"Can Your Gut Cause Disease?

In this fascinating episode of the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa sits down with microbiome researcher and entrepreneur Martha Carlin to unpack the surprising connection between gut health, brain health, and chronic disease. After her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's at just 44 years old, Martha began a decades-long journey into the science of the gut microbiome, probiotics, stool testing, and the toxic burden affecting modern health. They discuss the gut-brain axis, dopamine, constipation as an early warning sign of disease, probiotics, fecal transplants, red light therapy, sunlight exposure, and why your daily bowel habits may predict your long-term health. Martha also shares how dietary changes dramatically improved her husband's symptoms and how her research led to groundbreaking discoveries in microbiome science. 👉 Subscribe to the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, join the newsletter at https://lisafischersaid.com/podcast/ , and follow @lisafischersaid for more.
