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.

Evidence indicates between 20% and 30% of the adult global population can be characterised as having Metabolic Syndrome - a cluster of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
Unfortunately for those that work shift work, the risk of developing metabolic syndrome increases further due to the disruption placed on the body's natural circadian rhythms which affects metabolism, hormone regulation, and glucose metabolism. A Metabolic Syndrome Trifecta!
Join Audra as she discusses the common signs to watch out for in order to help you to lead a healthier life whilst working 24/7.
