Ever wondered how night shift workers manage their health and find a semblance of normalcy while the rest of the world sleeps? In our latest episode, my dear friend Roger Sutherland, a law enforcement officer with heaps of wisdom, joins the conversation to unpack the less discussed aspects of nocturnal work life. We celebrate the post-Easter chocolate indulgences (guilt-free, of course!), while also sharing tips that have helped us manage weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle despite our topsy-turvy schedules. Plus, we open the lines to your burning questions about shift work, sleep, and how to thrive when your work clock is out of sync with the sun.
Our night-time narrative takes us on a journey from the quiet streets of Hastings to the lively dairy farms of Colac. We share the hilarious yet eye-opening escapades of Bert, who dodged the law during early morning shifts, and Simon, whose dedication to his cows epitomizes the commitment of those who work while the world is at rest. But it's not all fun and games; we pay respect to the unsung heroes of the night, including emergency veterinary teams, and dive into the pressing concern of sleep anxiety amongst paramedics – with a retired ICU paramedic shedding light on the toll of decades spent on the front lines.
Wrapping up, we take a hard look at the work-family tightrope walked by shift workers like Danny in security and FIFO miners in Australia's rugged West. We share heartfelt stories of balancing the scales of work commitments and home life, alongside the genuine struggles and victories that come with the territory. It's a candid wrap-up of the extreme adjustments and health implications of shift work from those living it every day.

Embark on an empowering journey with Chloe Stevens, a renowned women's health physiotherapist and nutritionist, as we explore the intricate tapestry of female health.
Our discussion transcends traditional boundaries, addressing not only reproductive health but also delving into how women are uniquely affected by conditions such as heart disease and dementia. We shine a spotlight on estrogen's pervasive influence and advocate for a holistic conversation about health that includes challenges like shift work and their impact on women's well-being.
Navigating through the often unspoken realms of women's health, we confront the realities of pelvic floor dysfunction, discussing the causes, consequences, and the profound role nutrition plays in managing conditions like prolapses and incontinence. Chloe offers invaluable insights into maintaining gut health to support our pelvic floors and why fiber is a hero in our diets. We also break the silence on menstrual irregularities, emphasizing the importance of listening to what our bodies are trying to communicate through signs like hypothalamic amenorrhea and the ripple effect it has on our overall health.
Closing the conversation, we tear down the stigmas surrounding abortion and reproductive choices, laying bare the truth about their commonality and the harsh judgments women often face. In a celebratory note, I unveil an innovative consultancy service designed to enlighten fitness professionals on the nuances of women's health. Our heart-to-heart with Chloe Stevens serves as a clarion call for informed, compassionate dialogue, and equips listeners with knowledge to make biologically-informed decisions for their health and happiness.

To Talk your Walk, you've got to Walk your Talk.
When I was offered the opportunity to attend Australia's biggest talk-back radio station 3AW Melbourne and guest with the legendary Tony McManus talking about everything night shift, I jumped at it.

This is now a permanent every second Wednesday night spot where we discuss and take calls on everything shift work.
If you want to talk about and offer advice to shift workers, particularly night shifts, you have to be there while they're doing the shift.
This is the audio from this week's show.

Our latest episode is an ode to the night crawlers – from truck drivers to nurses – who light up the dark hours with their unwavering commitment. We tap into Roger's vast reservoir of knowledge to unlock how they maintain social bonds, fend off the quietude's mental health specters, and still find those precious z's amidst the upside-down schedules.
As we swap tales and tips, the life of Christian, a long-haul trucker balancing the scales between family and freeways, comes into sharp focus. Listen as we share a laugh about mistook crickets and offer wisdom for those odd-hour battles with persistent pests. But it's not all chuckles – the serious side of sleep disruption and dietary needs for those who dine by moonlight get their due. It's a heartfelt tribute to the partners keeping the home fires burning and a practical guide for anyone burning the midnight oil.
Closing the loop, we hear from callers like Greg and Tanya, whose anecdotes paint a vivid picture of the personal side of shift labor. How do they manage sleep? Is a short burst of shut-eye better than a long, restless night? Does everyone need the same amount of sleep? And as Tanya transitions from teaching driving to nocturnal cleansing, she sheds light on juggling night work with a buzzing social life. This episode isn't just a conversation – it's a rallying cry for the unsung heroes of the night and a treasure trove of life hacks for the graveyard shift.Support the Show.

With a dual hat as a Nutritionist and Law Enforcement Officer, I bring firsthand experience to the struggles of syncing sleep patterns with irregular schedules. This episode is a treasure trove of evidence-based tactics for reclaiming the night, from understanding the tug-of-war between sleep pressure and circadian rhythm to reshaping your environment to foster deep, restorative sleep. Discover how the strategic timing of meals and caffeine can make a monumental difference and why your bedroom might just need a detox from tech-induced insomnia.
When the sandman plays hard to get, and you find yourself staring at the ceiling, I'll unveil why retreating from the covers and settling into a monotonous activity could be your ticket back to dreamland. In the labyrinth of nighttime disturbances, I light the way with techniques like diaphragmatic breathing that beckon the body's relaxation response, and I also tackle the dark corners where nightmares lurk, offering tools such as guided imagery and journaling to defang these nocturnal beasts. Learn why your smartphone might be the sleep thief in disguise and how to banish the habit of clock-watching that feeds into sleep anxiety. This episode isn't just about getting more Z's—it's about transforming your nights to revolutionize your days.Support the Show.

Michael Sugrue's journey through the shadows of post-traumatic stress is not just his own – it's a story that echoes in the lives of many who don their uniforms with pride, only to battle silent wars within.
"Relentless Courage," Michael's raw and gripping narrative, brings to light the stark realities and the resilient spirit of those in the military and law enforcement communities. As we sit down with him, Michael, alongside insights from Dr. Shauna Springer, provides a dual lens on the traumas that break and the courage that heals.
When we strip away the badges and ranks, we discover the beating heart of brotherhood and the undeniable power of vulnerability. This episode peels back the curtain on the untold stories of trust and betrayal, the unspoken struggles beneath stoic exteriors, and the relentless pursuit of mental health awareness that Michael champions. From the brotherhood in the trenches to the harsh truths of administrative attitudes, we traverse a landscape where leadership isn't just about giving orders, but about listening and acknowledging the human soul behind the shield.
In a world quick to judge and slow to understand, Michael's mission is clear: to shift perceptions, to provide solace, and to offer a hand to those grappling in the dark.
As Michael shares his post-retirement endeavours and dreams of a cinematic adaptation of his story, we are reminded that the path to healing is not walked alone – it is a journey shared, a dialogue opened, and a future reclaimed.
