[95] - Social Jet Lag, Jet Lag and Shift Work, What ties them all together?

Text me what you thought of the show 😊Ever wondered why you feel groggy after a late-night binge-watching session or why adjusting to a new time zone takes a toll on your body? Welcome to a fresh episode of A Healthy Shift, where I, your host Roger Sutherland, illuminate the intricate workings of our internal body clock or the circadian rhythm. This episode is an enlightening exploration of how we unknowingly disrupt our natural biological rhythms through common lifestyle habits and choices, leading to conditions like social jet lag, jet lag, and the health implications of shift work. I draw parallels from our everyday lives, like the impacts of a late Friday night out for a nine-to-five worker, to illustrate why such disruptions are detrimental to our health and well-being.Journey with me as we chart the challenges of travelling across time zones, unravelling why flying east is more demanding on our body compared to flying west. I discuss practical strategies to combat jet lag, including the innovative Time Shifter app and thoughtfully planning rest stops on your journey home. The episode also throws light on the realities of shift work, a modern necessity that often leads to significant health issues due to the disruption of our natural circadian rhythm. By aligning our sleep and eating patterns with our biological day, we can minimize the negative impact on our health. So, get ready to embark on this captivating journey of understanding the science behind these conditions and learning how to mitigate their effects.
