Description
Text me what you thought of the show š
Are you ready to crack the code of your body's internal timekeeper? Ever wondered why jet lag feels worse when you're flying east rather than west? Join me, as we explore the mysteries of our circadian rhythm and discover how it influences our daily lives, especially when it comes to jet lag and shift work.Ā
You'll learn about the key triggers of our circadian rhythm - light, movement and nutrient timing, and how simple habits like getting plenty of natural light before screen time, drinking water before coffee, and sticking to regular meal times can make a big difference. We'll also venture into the fascinating world of shift work, discussing practical, evidence-based strategies to help you not just survive but flourish amidst the challenges of erratic schedules.
So tune in, discover how to sync with your body's natural rhythm, and unleash your potential for optimal performance and well-being while performing shift work or time travelling.
