Humans as a species have always had a strong relationship with food. It's what fuels us and nourishes our bodies to keep our remarkable biological ecosystem running.  When our eating habits become disconnected from the nutrition our bodies genuinely needs and our scales start to tip towards destructive eating patterns, maybe we should start looking towards our emotional attachment to the foods we decide to put on our plate? 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.

The search for the ‘self' has always been difficult. We spend our lives trying to find ourselves, to discover who we are inside. Noted psychiatrist, Sigmund Freud, had us narrowed down into three categories: the Id, the Ego, and the Superego. Descartes believed that “I think, therefore I am”. But as our concept of the human mind and body continues to change, there is a new way to look at who we really are (at least biologically). That is; we are 99.5% bacteria, and only 0.5% human DNA. 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.

If you want to make the shift towards more informed decisions regarding better health, then this podcast is for you. In episode #11 of The Shift, are you bacteria, or human? Part 2. Katherine takes us on a journey behind our own curtains, to uncover more about what we're made of, joined by experts Dr Marvin Singh, Kale Brock, Eugenia Bone, Rodney Dietert, Dr Leo Galland, Dr David Perlmutter, Jenny Tschiesche and Dr William Davis. Katherine and her guests put their professional knowledge forth to explain more about our microbial makeup, and how that makeup responds to and communicates with the rest of our body. They also discuss the following: Different kinds of bacteria that can be found within the human body Why the microbiome is one of the most important parts of our body How much of our microbiome and overall health is influenced by our environment? What microbiology actually is The various aspects of our lives, such as nutrition, exercise and behaviour, that are mediated by the microbiome Can you change your microbiome using just your thoughts? What fad dieting can do to your gut health Can humans that live together, alter each others microbiomes? How our microbiome can detox chemicals from our environment Can something as simple as the air we breath affect our gut health? What can we do to change our unhealthy gut? The one particular strain of bacteria that can lessen the appearance of wrinkles, help you get better sleep and even speed up the body's healing process The future potential to reverse autoimmune disease and neurological conditions while dramatically improving health, all through healing the microbiome Probiotic supplements, yay or nay?   The Shift Episode #14 guests, in order of appearance: Dr Marvin Singh Dr Marvin Singh - Website Dr Marvin Singh - Facebook Dr Marvin Singh - Instagram Dr Marvin Singh - Twitter Dr Marvin Singh - LinkedIn Dr Marvin Singh - YouTube Kale Brock Kale Brock - Website Kale Brock - Facebook Kale Brock - Instagram Kale Brock - Twitter Kale Brock - LinkedIn Kale Brock - YouTube Kale Brock - Podcast Eugenia Bone Eugenia Bone - Website Eugenia Bone - Instagram Eugenia Bone - Twitter Eugenia Bone - LinkedIn Rodney Dietert Rodney Dietert - Website Rodney Dietert  - Facebook Rodney Dietert - Twitter Rodney Dietert - LinkedIn Dr Leo Galland Dr Leo Galland - Website Dr Leo Galland - Facebook Dr Leo Galland - Instagram Dr Leo Galland - Twitter Dr Leo Galland - LinkedIn Dr Leo Galland - YouTube Dr David Perlmutter Dr David Perlmutter - Website Dr David Perlmutter - Facebook Dr David Perlmutter - Instagram Dr David Perlmutter - Twitter Dr David Perlmutter - LinkedIn Dr David Perlmutter - YouTube Jenny Tschiesche Jenny Tschiesche - Website Jenny Tschiesche - Facebook Jenny Tschiesche - Instagram Jenny Tschiesche - Twitter Jenny Tschiesche - LinkedIn Dr William Davis Dr William Davis - Website Dr William Davis - Facebook Dr William Davis - Instagram Dr William Davis - Twitter Dr William Davis - LinkedIn Dr William Davis - Pinterest Dr William Davis - YouTube

There is so much about the gut we still don't know, everyday there are new discoveries made that completely transform how we think about the impact it has on our lives and health.
