The current state of our health is in a crisis. With commercial enterprises sponsoring health studies and the information we are provided each day mixing between real science backed facts and marketing lingo, it’s hard to figure out who is the right voice to listen too.

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.
