Your gut has a wonderful connection to almost every system within your body. It’s an intricate relationship, and your body is well equipped at maintaining this incredible machine, should the environment be right. However, what if there is a problem, something that rocks the balance within, and the scale of your personal ecosystem gets tipped and you didn’t even know?

Welcome to The Shift, an investigative series that follows naturopath, nutritionist and author Katherine Maslen as she explores the dysfunctional nature of the health industry and provides people with the tools, knowledge and understanding to make the shift in their lives. Each episode of The Shift features interviews with industry experts in gut and general health from across the globe. They accompany Katherine in tackling the difficult questions surrounding global health. If you want to make the shift towards more informed decisions regarding better health, then this podcast is for you.
