Welcome to Episode 109 of the You4ia Health Podcast with Nutritionist and veteran shift worker Roger Sutherland

This week on the show I am so humbled to bring to you, the night shift guru roger Sutherland. With decades of experience working shift work Roger noticed a huge gap in the market from education on how to prepare and recover from working shift work, in particular night shift.

The fact of the matter is that our current world cannot function without shift workers, nurses, doctors, service station attendants, transport, the list goes on… So its not a matter of just avoiding it, it’s how can we best manage it to mitigate some of the effects.

There is a plethora of research out there highlighting just how impactful shift work especially night shift can be on our body. From day to day functions all the way to a decreased life expectancy, there’s no hiding the fact that this is harmful.

Lucky for shift workers out there, Roger has dedicated his time to helping shift workers mitigate the effects through holistic health practices.

It’s important to note that everyone responds differently when their circadian rhythm is disrupted, so working one on one with your health care professional highly advised.

Almost 90 minutes long... This one is jam packed with information which I’m sure you will find useful.
