[80] - 39 Years of 24/7 Shift work - 6 things I wish I'd known

Text me what you thought of the show 😊Ever wondered how to not just survive but thrive in the demanding world of shift work? That’s what this episode is all about. I’m sharing invaluable insights from decades of personal experience in 24-7 frontline law enforcement. You’ll learn about the critical importance of prioritizing sleep, and I'll debunk the common misconception of flipping meals during night shifts. Instead, I’ll guide you on how to harness your natural circadian rhythm to get the most nutrients during your biological day.Navigating the complex world of shift work is a journey, and I've got some seasoned tips to share. One of the keys is LISS training to keep cholesterol levels in check and avoid serious health issues like heart disease and obesity. You’ll hear practical advice on preparing simple yet nutritious meals to fuel your body, striking a healthy work-life balance, and the empowering right to disconnect from work. Also, I’ll share insights on the importance of distancing from stress-inducing social media pages and the value of having a coach who truly understands the unique challenges of shift work. Let's transform your shift work experience together.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.
