When it comes to shift work struggles – there are many! From chronic fatigue and tiredness to sleep-deprivation, having no energy to exercise, weight fluctuations, a depleted immune system, digestive complaints, nervous system dysregulation and a disrupted family and social life. It’s certainly not easy working 24/7 and you’re not alone in feeling this way. In this podcast, Audra speaks with experts on sleep, nutrition, weight management, stress relief and a realm of other topics relevant to shift work health. Audra also interviews current and former shift workers from an array of different industries and occupations, who are essentially the real experts behind working 24/7. This fun, informative and engaging podcast will leave you feeling motivated and inspired, and that you’re not alone in feeling like some kind of weird, nocturnal animal stuck in a wheel going round and round in circles.

HSW 110 - Time Restricted Eating For Shift Workers with Dr Emily Manoogian
Wednesday Feb 21, 2024
Wednesday Feb 21, 2024
In this podcast we talk to Dr Emily Manoogian, a postdoctoral researcher and chronobiologist from the Salk Institute in San Diego, California, as she shares research on how time restricted eating (TRE) improved the health of firefighters.
Results from this randomised controlled trial, titled The Healthy Hero's Study, is the first of it's kind as it involved real-life shift workers in their workplace setting as opposed to being a laboratory.
In this interview we discuss:
- Why shift workers are normally excluded from research studies
- The time-frame and schedule of the time-restricted eating?
- Did participants get hungry whilst fasting during the night?
- Did cardiometabolic health parameters improve?
- Why eating at night isn't optimal
- When is the ideal time to eat on early shift
- Why it's best to avoid the donuts whilst on shift!
