In this episode, we talk with Ralph Booth, the founder of Osin—an organization on a mission to end circadian disruption with a clever invention called the Osin Loop.  

The Osin Loop is a desk lamp designed to bring the benefits of daylight indoors by mimicking sunlight to support your circadian rhythm.  

So if your job or workplace involves being indoors with very little access to natural light, then this episode is for you!

Today we're joined by Daniel Ebbett, founder of Block Blue Light, a company that promotes light-based technologies to promote better sleep and overall health.

In this conversation, Daniel shares his personal journey from experiencing severe insomnia and health issues, which led to being prescribed all sorts of sleeping tablets, antidepressants and antipsychotic medication which only made him feel worse.

It wasn't until he started to investigate the root cause himself and how profound of an impact artificial and mistimed light exposure was having on his sleep and overall health, that he was able to turn his health around.

Some of the topics discussed include:

- How sleep deprivation can lead to severe health issues.

Sila Gatti thought she was doing everything right to keep herself healthy, but that all changed when she was diagnosed with Graves Disease.

After becoming disillusioned with the treatment she was being offered by the conventional medicine system, she decided to look at alternatives which included taking some time out from consuming caffeine.

To her surprise, not only did her thyroid heal, but so too did her vertigo and anxiety.

Tune in to hear Sila's remarkable story and how it inspired her to develop her own caffeine-free alternative beverage -'Not Coffee'.

Hi everyone, today’s podcast is an excerpt from a training session that I recently delivered in our Healthy Shift Worker Skool Community Membership – where I discuss rethinking the current healthcare model and looking towards a more holistic approach to healing.

Because I feel it’s time for a paradigm shift – to challenge the conventional healthcare system's sole reliance on external medical treatments, along with a narrative that our bodies are broken and need to be “fixed”.

Now as a shift worker, whilst you may often feel like your body is broken, it’s more than likely, not.

It’s actually your environment that is broken, and this is what need to focus on. 

For example, using appropriately timed light exposure can play a pivotal role in helping the body regain homeostasis, a balanced internal state that supports healing and recovery.

When light exposure aligns with natural circadian rhythms, it helps regulate vital processes like hormone production, sleep-wake cycles, and cellular repair. This alignment is particularly beneficial for individuals struggling with thyroid imbalances and metabolic health issues, as these conditions are closely linked to circadian rhythm disruption.

Morning sunlight, for example, can stimulate cortisol production, which energizes the body for the day, while limiting exposure to artificial light in the evening encourages the natural rise of melatonin, a hormone essential for restful sleep and nighttime repair.

By incorporating specific timing and types of light exposure, we can create a supportive environment that allows the body’s innate healing mechanisms to work more effectively, fostering improvements in thyroid function, metabolic resilience, and overall well-being.

I hope you enjoy the episode!

In this episode Audra discusses the critical issue of desynchronisation faced by shift workers, what it is and how it impacts their health.

She explains how chronic misalignment of circadian rhythms can lead to various health problems, including metabolic dysfunction, sleep disorders, hormonal imbalances, and increased risk of chronic diseases.

Whilst desyncronisation is inevitable for anyone working 24/7, there are  strategies that can be implemented in order to help mitigate some of the deleterious effects that can occur, both in the short and long-term.
