Shift Your Health

This week, I chat with Danielle Baldock, the founder of Soldiers & Sirens, an organisation dedicated to the mental health of all uniformed services - police, fire, ambulance, prisons & military.

We talk about the importance of mental health, strategies to stay mentally fit in the face of trauma, how to take care of your colleagues and mates, starting tough conversations and how your nutrition can impact your mental health.

Danielle and the Soldiers & Sirens team are in need of help! If you can assist in any way, please email them ([email protected]) or contact them via their Facebook or Instagram.

This week, I dive into all sorts of persistent myths & urban legends around nutrition and eating.
Are carbs evil? Do you need to cut sugar out of your diet? Are superfoods really that super?
Let's seperate fact from fiction and cut through the bullshit.

As always, I'd love to connect with you over on Facebook or Instagram!

Controversial? Maybe, but it's accurate for shift-workers!

This week, I get stuck into circadian rhythms, hormones and why shift-workers can't rely on their body telling them they're hungry. I also go through some easy tips and strategies to implement to help shift-workers get their eating back on track.

This is one spicy episode. You may remember Hannah from episode 3 of Shift Your Health, and this time she's back to chat with me about all about the unrealistic expectations placed on us, self-esteem, breaking down society's norms and becoming aware of all the ways diet culture tries to tear us down. Talk about a powerful episode.

To hear more from Hannah, you can check her out on Instagram and Facebook.

This episode, I chat with Zayla Twine - shift-worker, police officer, travel vlogger and advocate of a vegan diet.
We talk about her journey through 10 years of shift-work, the turning point which changed her priorities and how she's rebuilt her health from the ground up, as well as eating well on the road, the importance of your breath and how trauma can manifest in the body.

You can learn more about Zayla and follow her adventures on Instagram, and watch her incredible travel videos on her YouTube.

No judgement - we've all made these mistakes, myself included!
I go through the top ten mistakes that I've seen shift-workers make when it comes to their health. How many have you fallen victim to?

This week, I chat to the incredible Hannah Sawyer, aka The Fit Nurse - registered nurse, health coach, & neurolinguistic programming master.
We talk about how important mindset and thoughts are, how to incorporate self-care into your routine, why setting boundaries is crucial for your mental health, putting your health first and prioritising what really matters.
I LOVED recording this one, Hannah & I go way back and have ended up on similar journeys, so it was great to catch up again.

Stress. We’ve all felt it, and we as emergency services workers can argue that we’re more familiar with it than anyone else. This week, we’re going to chat about what counts as “stress”, how it affects our bodies in the short and long-term, the dangers of ignoring it, and what we can do to protect ourselves as best we can.
