Season 1 wrap up - see you next year!

Today on the podcast I have the absolutely wonderful Kate Johansson. Kate is the owner of KOJA Health. For those of you who received the recent Winter Box or Mystery Box, you would’ve received a KOJA health natural protein bar or protein pancakes - they’re seriously sooo delicious! Kate has been a friend of mine since embarking on this business journey and I have watched KOJA Health go from strength to strength and take the Australian Health food market by storm. KOJA is now stocked in Coles across Australia, and you’ll find out in this episode a new and hugely exciting retailer that you’ll now be able to find their products in. Anyone who owns their own business will know that this is a MASSIVE feat. In this episode we talk about how Kate started KOJA after working in the supplement industry and seeing the flaws that she wanted to fix, the behind the scenes of KOJA and how it all comes together, the challenges and obstacles she faced in the growth of this business, particularly with the recent changing climate, and how she’s managed to get KOJA to where it is today. Kate is so incredibly humble and open, and I just know you’re going to love this episode.

This foundation, when combined with her years of personal experience, led her to discover an approach to health and wellness that is not only holistic, but also scientific and integrative In this episode we chat all things gut health - what it is, how it affects us mentally, emotionally and physically, why good gut health is important and how you can improve yours.
