Text me what you thought of the show 😊Ever feel like your shift work schedule leaves you with no time or motivation for self-care? Let's take a step back and confront the hard truths about who we're actually hurting with these statements. I'm Roger Sutherland, a certified nutritionist and veteran law enforcement officer, and I'm here to challenge these excuses and inspire you to embrace better health, no matter how demanding your job is. We'll explore the reality of shift work, learning from the real-life examples of people who have thrived amidst the challenges, and understanding how motivation is more about discipline and consistency than an in-the-moment feeling.Hear firsthand accounts of shift workers who've found joy in exercise, discovered the benefits of nutritious meals, and reaped the rewards of small daily habits.  I'll break down the barriers that may be hindering your progress, and unveil the strategies that can guide you towards healthier practices. It’s not about a complete life overhaul, but about taking those small yet significant steps in the right direction. Listen in to empower yourself and turn around your health narrative, one shift at a time.Support the show----------------------------Roger Sutherland is Australia's Night Shift & Sleep Specialist and the founder of A Healthy Shift.After more than 40 years working rotating shifts with Victoria Police, Roger now helps organisations reduce fatigue risk, improve staff wellbeing and build healthier, safer and higher-performing 24/7 workplaces through evidence-based education, circadian biology and the Shift Work Champions™ Framework.Shift Work Champions™: https://join.ahealthyshift.com/shift-work-capabilityWebsite: https://ahealthyshift.com.auLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roger-sutherlandInstagram: @a_healthy_shift___________________Disclaimer: Roger Sutherland is not a doctor or a medical professional.  Always consult a physician before implementing any strategies mentioned in this podcast.
