WHY
MIND THE GAP
The gap in attention given to female health
We females are intricate, amazing, multi-layered beings. No two sisters are the same.
Female physiology is a lot. So the really vital aspects of female health almost always get ignored, overlooked, not taken seriously, averaged out or written off by the entire health field - from mainstream medical to specialists in every area of health and fitness.
Where is the one person who can take a real birds-eve view of you, then bring together the right things to focus on, in the right way, at the right time?
This is where The Shift comes in. The Shift goes deeper into your health state than you’ve ever been before. The Shift can cover bloodwork, hormones, your cycle, nervous system, digestion, habits & beliefs, your posture, the way your body moves, and so much more.
But if you need convincing, these articles will reveal the huge gaps in attention given to the health needs of females. No wonder so many of us feel like sh*t.
Read a few, get a bit angry – then get ready to make The Shift.
