About Us

The Nature Shift does exactly as the name says — helps you shift back to nature. We provide an integrated holistic approach to healthy living by helping you change your cravings from harmful to what nature intended. In mind, spirit and body, we are meant to connect to Mother Earth. But everything from the way we eat to the way we spend our time (inside on a device) cuts us off from this vital relationship. To promote and restore real health, we created a team of professionals — led by the fearless Kari — helping you reclaim the way our bodies were intended to experience life. We’re about creating long-term lifestyle improvements in eating, exercise, relationships and communing with our spirituality.

Join us in the movement!

Why should you trust us with your health?

Hi, I’m Kari McCloskey, founder and CEO of The Nature Shift. As a registered dietitian and certified personal trainer, I’ve helped thousands of people become healthier. With a graduate degree and years of experience, I’ve built integrative medicine programs and wellness curriculums for leading healthcare providers. I teach healthy lifestyle classes to inspire people to build muscle while keeping off excess weight. I also create individualized eating and fitness plans crafted around unique medical, physical, and psychological counseling.

In my three decades helping others, I saw how people were so far removed from natural eating and natural living. I realized that real health change requires real behavior change. Seeing this great need, I started The Nature Shift as a way to reconnect people with nature, or to the way we were inherently designed to live. The Nature Shift is my passion and gives the world a holistic approach to health, focusing on self-improvement and self-care. My team and I don’t just say eat well, exercise, blah blah blah. We live it. And we’re passionate about it. Likewise, we want you to feel the goodness of natural, healthy living.
