A Healthy Shift I give shift workers more energy.

I combine 4 decades of shiftworking experience coupled with a qualification in evidence-based nutrition to coach 24/7 shift workers to Thrive, not just Survive in their shift working lives.

It sounds bold, but itโ€™s true.

The first time I heard Jesse explain his method, I knew shift workers needed this.
As shift workers, Sleep is our biggest challenge, right?

Meal prep is, without doubt, the second.

And this solves it....easily.

Thatโ€™s why I brought Jesse on the podcast.

His story is wild, and the way this method blew up makes sense once you hear him explain it and how it works.

And yes, this is the system that helped him ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฌ๐—ธ๐—ด and keep it off.

Thereโ€™s a point in the episode where youโ€™ll hear this really click as I came to realise something significant around this system. It excited me and it will you too.

Most women working nights are never told how much circadian misalignment affects their long-term health.
And many donโ€™t realise the evidence now shows a real link between night shift and breast cancer risk, especially for women working ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜๐˜€ or ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฒ.

This isnโ€™t about fear.
Itโ€™s about giving female shift workers the information they deserve so they can protect their health, their hormones, and their future.

Your body runs on a clock.
Night shift pulls against it.
And understanding how this affects melatonin, sleep, and hormone balance gives you the power to make better choices around light, routines, and recovery.

This is why I do what I do.
Supporting female shift workers isnโ€™t a side project.
Itโ€™s my mission.
And women deserve clear, simple guidance, not confusion or silence.

Iโ€™ve broken down the research in easy terms on my website so you can understand what the evidence actually says and what steps help reduce the impact.

Sunday 30 November is International Shift Workers Day.

This day matters because most people never see what shift workers give up to keep the world running.

And the load on your sleep, health, and family life is real.

You are literally sacrificing your health for the health and safety of others.

You deserve credit for the hours no one notices and the effort most people donโ€™t understand.

I see you.

And Iโ€™ll keep helping you so you can work in a way that protects your health, not harms it.

You know it, I know it, shift work makes everything harder, especially trying to find solutions that actually work for you

If you're going to spend your hard-earned cash looking for products to help with your sleep, energy, or overall health, you need to know youโ€™re getting the right stuff.

You need a one-stop shop.

That's why I've done the legwork for you. I've compiled all the products Iโ€™ve personally used, have tested, and highly recommend for shift workers onto a single, easy-to-access page.

Every single item has my tick of approval (except for one, but you'll see why when you visit the page!).

No more endless searching. No more guessing. Just all the solutions in one spot.

And because it's Black Friday, you can check out all the up-to-date discounts on the products I've linked for you!

Want the page sent straight to your DMs?

Feel free to ask me any questions
Happy (and efficient) shopping!

In my recent seminar, I heard women quietly admit things likeโ€ฆ

โ€œI honestly thought something was wrong with me.โ€
โ€œI never knew shift work affected my hormones this much.โ€
โ€œNo one has EVER explained this to us before.โ€

And that was the moment it hit meโ€ฆ

Women in shift work are carrying battles no one sees.

Your body feels different.

Your energy disappears without warning.

Your mood shifts in ways you canโ€™t explain.

And everyone tells you to โ€œjust push through it.โ€

You shouldnโ€™t have to struggle in silence.

You shouldnโ€™t have to guess what your body is trying to tell you.

And you absolutely shouldnโ€™t feel alone in this.

Before the year ends, Iโ€™m extending my full support to every woman working shifts, because you deserve answers, guidance, and tools that actually work.

Join me for the Women & Shift Work webinar.

This session will help you finally understand whatโ€™s happening in your body, and what you can do to take back control.

Canโ€™t attend live? Thereโ€™s a 14-day replay waiting for you.

Youโ€™ll also receive:
โœ” A female shift-worker supplement guide
โœ” A womenโ€™s shift-work checklist
โœ” A reflections journal
โœ” Practical tools you can use for life

The hardest thing you can do right nowโ€ฆ is nothing.

Your body has been asking for support for a long time.

This is your moment to show up for yourself.

Over the past few months, Iโ€™ve heard something loud and clear from the hundreds of shift workers who attended our recent seminars:
Women are struggling the most and theyโ€™re getting the least support.

The stories were powerful.

The feedback was honest.

And the pattern was impossible to ignore.
Women told me about:
โ€ข relentless fatigue
โ€ข hormone chaos
โ€ข mood swings they canโ€™t explain
โ€ข cravings that feel uncontrollable
โ€ข sleep that never feels restorative
โ€ข stress that builds faster than they can manage

And almost every woman said the same thing:
โ€œI thought it was just me.โ€

Itโ€™s not just you and itโ€™s not your fault.

Shift work affects women on a deeper physiological level, and the health impacts are very real.

Thatโ€™s exactly why Iโ€™m extending my support directly to female shift workers through this dedicated webinar.
Women & Shift Work โ€” Webinar
When: 1st of December, 4PM AEDT
โœ”with 14-day replay
โœ” Female-focused supplement guide
โœ” Womenโ€™s shift work checklist
โœ” Reflection journal

You deserve clear answers, practical strategies, and support tailored specifically to the challenges women face in shift work.

When clients fix it, everything lifts.

Morning light is where it starts.

Get outside early. No sunglasses. Let the full spectrum hit your eyes so your body knows itโ€™s daytime.

But as the morning goes on, your eyes need protection from UVA, UVB, and high-energy visible light. And you still want 480 nm blue and infrared light getting through.

And once itโ€™s dark, you need to block blue and green light so your body can wind down.

Your ipRGCs are sensitive to this light, and they drive your internal clock.

The right glasses make this simple.

RA Optics design lenses for each part of the day, and they work well for shift workers trying to stay aligned.

Detective Leading Senior Constable Dave โ€œStevoโ€ Stevenson 31694.

A brilliant Policeman. An even better bloke and mate.

I paid tribute to Stevo on A Healthy Shift on 3AW because I wanted to speak for everyone who knew him, to show just how much he meant, and how far he reached.

Thereโ€™ll never be the right words, just stories, and everyone who knew him has plenty of great ones.

If weโ€™d heard heโ€™d gone out in a high-speed solo collision, weโ€™d have known he was doing what he loved.

But thisโ€ฆ this was just cruel and unfair.

Vale Stevo.

Youโ€™ll be missed by everyone who ever had the privilege to know you.

Much love to Kath, his family, and his Blue Family too ๐Ÿ’™

How TAC Channel 07-01 was born. (VicPol IYKYK)

This is an image of me in the Police helicopter with PD Grady

Itโ€™s circa 1993/4

At the time we were trialing working patrol shifts with a canine unit on board the helicopter patrolling the skies of Melbourne.

If there was a โ€œHot Jobโ€ we would fly in, land at the job, and while dog and I worked the ground, the chopper would do orbits around us to contain the offenders.

We also had live education security radio and would get the school alarms long before anyone else did and by the time the job went over the air, we were already doing orbits of the school.

It was such a buzz

We all worked together as a team, we knew we could trust each other and we had one common interest, to bag the bad guys and put them away.

To those of you working for VicPol now. This is where my long time friend, Dermot (PolAir still) and I hatched Channel 07-01 and after many hard fought years, brought it to life.

Channel 07-01 is now arguably one of the most important strategies used by operational VicPol units.

Youโ€™re Welcome

We did it Dermot ๐Ÿ˜Š
