The Shift with Katherine Maslen

Most of us understand that we should maintain a nutritious diet to keep our bodies in good health. However, what if you were to learn that there are other significant roles our digestive system plays within our bodies, besides processing our food for fuel? There’s more going on in our gastrointestinal systems than you may think, so now is the time to explore the real reasons why our gut health truly matters.

Living within such a fast-paced world, at times it can seem that we are becoming more disconnected from ourselves. Many of us are taking on not-so-positive patterns of behaviour, particularly when it comes to the foods we’re eating, the lifestyles we leading, and how we approach our general health. So, maybe it’s time for a shift?

The digestive system is a complex structure within our bodies. Its ability to endlessly function – digesting, breaking food down, and extracting vital nutrients is a feat of genius engineering. Therefore, when a component within that system is interfered with there can often be a knock-on effect that could impair digestion.

Stomach complaints, they affect us all eventually. Whether it’s feeling a little bloated, enduring acid reflux or having a less than perfect bowel movement – these are symptoms that many health professionals come across, regularly.  But, if these certain types of body functions are so common, how do we know when they’re becoming problematic, and what are some of the real causes of these frequent complaints?

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?

There’s a special relationship present within your body – the mind-gut connection. It’s the delicate internal balance between your brain and digestive system. If this balance alters because of something as common as emotional stress or poor eating habits, then we may see change in the way we function emotionally and physically.

We may be living longer but we’re certainly living sicker. In some cases, medications may just be masking the symptoms of the ailments that we’re experiencing, rather than getting to the internal core of the problem.

The more we discover about how the lives we are living are impacting our health, the more we move out of the age of blaming our genes for our health issues and into a time when we can take responsibility for our health.

There seems to be a certain level of discord around the foods we should be consuming. With certain potentially harmful foods and diets gaining popularity it might be time to seek a clearer idea of what is genuinely good for fueling and maintaining our bodies.

Some of the foods humans love to eat are also some of the worst for our bodies, especially the gut. But not all of us are made the same. Knowing how foods like wheat, dairy, grains and processed foods impact you at an individual level can ensure you are making the right choices for your personal health.

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.

We live in a world of seemingly endless choice and information. While this choice and data has allowed us all to become better informed on what we consume and surround ourselves with, this avalanche of knowledge has also given rise to a world of misinformation and manipulation of choice.

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?

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). T...

The antibiotic industry is worth billions. Every day, millions of people around the world are receiving antibiotics in various forms, in a bid for better health. But is it really the wisest choice? While antibiotics can save lives, we need to think about the amount we take and how often we take them. Are they just a matter of convenience that can cause more damage than we think, or do they have a rightful place in our health regime...

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. When each of us begins to tap into that knowledge, reconnecting to our prefrontal cortex, and engage in more compassionate actions towards each other, towards our gut, towards the planet, we can move the needle in the right direction

Our bodies are intricate systems that contain millions of bacteria necessary to for us to lead a healthy life, but when we don’t look after them as the custodians we are, we can face any number of diseases and ailments.

These days there is an increasing number of people managing their day to day lives through the support of the pharmaceutical industry, but is looking at diet the answer these people are missing?

Pesticides and other chemicals have given human beings the ability to produce bountiful crops and ensure safe drinking water. This approach to what we consume everyday is alarmingly showing signs of being a key issue to our health and wellbeing.
