Could the key to unlocking your health potential be as simple as watching the clock? I'm Roger Sutherland, and in this episode, we're cutting through the noise to bring you the solid science on intermittent fasting. For those working around the clock, the difference between intermittent fasting and time-restricted feeding isn't just jargon—it's the cornerstone of a health strategy that could be life-changing. We're tackling the 16-8 and 5-2 methods head-on, dissecting the myths around fasting as a muscle-building miracle and spotlighting the unsung hero in fat loss: calorie control. If you've been curious whether skipping meals could give you an edge, you'll want to soak up every minute of these myth-busting insights.
As your guide through the maze of meal timing, I'll also delve into the promising world of early time-restricted feeding (ETRF). Imagine harnessing the power of your body's natural rhythms to not just manage your weight but improve your insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels. It's not just about when you eat, but how aligning your meals with your circadian rhythm can curb hunger and rev up your metabolism. Whether you're considering narrowing your eating window or just hungry for knowledge, this episode is packed with evidence-based revelations you won't want to miss. Join me as we chart a course towards a healthier lifestyle, one timed bite at a time.Support the show

Our night-time narrative takes us on a journey from the quiet streets of Hastings to the lively dairy farms of Colac. We share the hilarious yet eye-opening escapades of Bert, who dodged the law during early morning shifts, and Simon, whose dedication to his cows epitomizes the commitment of those who work while the world is at rest. But it's not all fun and games; we pay respect to the unsung heroes of the night, including emergency veterinary teams, and dive into the pressing concern of sleep anxiety amongst paramedics – with a retired ICU paramedic shedding light on the toll of decades spent on the front lines.

Embark on an empowering journey with Chloe Stevens, a renowned women's health physiotherapist and nutritionist, as we explore the intricate tapestry of female health.
Our discussion transcends traditional boundaries, addressing not only reproductive health but also delving into how women are uniquely affected by conditions such as heart disease and dementia. We shine a spotlight on estrogen's pervasive influence and advocate for a holistic conversation about health that includes challenges like shift work and their impact on women's well-being.
Navigating through the often unspoken realms of women's health, we confront the realities of pelvic floor dysfunction, discussing the causes, consequences, and the profound role nutrition plays in managing conditions like prolapses and incontinence. Chloe offers invaluable insights into maintaining gut health to support our pelvic floors and why fiber is a hero in our diets. We also break the silence on menstrual irregularities, emphasizing the importance of listening to what our bodies are trying to communicate through signs like hypothalamic amenorrhea and the ripple effect it has on our overall health.
Closing the conversation, we tear down the stigmas surrounding abortion and reproductive choices, laying bare the truth about their commonality and the harsh judgments women often face. In a celebratory note, I unveil an innovative consultancy service designed to enlighten fitness professionals on the nuances of women's health. Our heart-to-heart with Chloe Stevens serves as a clarion call for informed, compassionate dialogue, and equips listeners with knowledge to make biologically-informed decisions for their health and happiness.

To Talk your Walk, you've got to Walk your Talk.
When I was offered the opportunity to attend Australia's biggest talk-back radio station 3AW Melbourne and guest with the legendary Tony McManus talking about everything night shift, I jumped at it.
The show goes into Victoria as well as South Australia which allows me to assist shift workers while they're hurting.
This is now a permanent every second Wednesday night spot where we discuss and take calls on everything shift work.
If you want to talk about and offer advice to shift workers, particularly night shifts, you have to be there while they're doing the shift.
This is the audio from this week's show.

Michael Sugrue's journey through the shadows of post-traumatic stress is not just his own – it's a story that echoes in the lives of many who don their uniforms with pride, only to battle silent wars within.
"Relentless Courage," Michael's raw and gripping narrative, brings to light the stark realities and the resilient spirit of those in the military and law enforcement communities. As we sit down with him, Michael, alongside insights from Dr. Shauna Springer, provides a dual lens on the traumas that break and the courage that heals.
When we strip away the badges and ranks, we discover the beating heart of brotherhood and the undeniable power of vulnerability. This episode peels back the curtain on the untold stories of trust and betrayal, the unspoken struggles beneath stoic exteriors, and the relentless pursuit of mental health awareness that Michael champions. From the brotherhood in the trenches to the harsh truths of administrative attitudes, we traverse a landscape where leadership isn't just about giving orders, but about listening and acknowledging the human soul behind the shield.
In a world quick to judge and slow to understand, Michael's mission is clear: to shift perceptions, to provide solace, and to offer a hand to those grappling in the dark.
As Michael shares his post-retirement endeavours and dreams of a cinematic adaptation of his story, we are reminded that the path to healing is not walked alone – it is a journey shared, a dialogue opened, and a future reclaimed.

Navigating the night as a shift worker comes with a unique set of challenges that test the limits of human endurance. Joining us is the multifaceted Simon Owens, an overnight radio host, who brings his extensive experience to the table, sharing stories that echo the unpredictable nature of our professions. We unpack the secrets to not just enduring but thriving in this nocturnal lifestyle, from practical nutritional advice to lifestyle adjustments that can shield you against the potential health pitfalls of irregular work hours. Let's harness the power of preparation and informed choices to maintain our health, vitality, and passion for our careers against the clock.
The airwaves come alive with tales from the twilight zone of employment, as we honor the likes of Tony Moclair and Keith McGowan, giants of the overnight radio world. But it's not just the voices over the radio that keep our world spinning; Len from Melton chimes in with anecdotes from his 26 years with Australian Airlines and Qantas, painting a vivid picture of the unseen army that works tirelessly through the night. From the camaraderie amongst the ground staff to the working dogs keeping our airports secure, these stories shine a light on the individuals who form the backbone of our society's 24/7 pulse.
Shifting focus to the frontline of healthcare, we hear from Elsa, whose 37 years of nursing offer a raw and inspiring look at the trials and triumphs of life in the scrubs. Her resilience and unwavering dedication, especially amidst the pandemic, grant us insight into the soul of nursing and the unique rewards of being there for others at their most vulnerable. Yet, the night is not without its shadows, as we confront the specters of burnout and compassion fatigue, familiar foes to many in high-stress occupations. By bringing these conversations into the light, we aim to arm our nocturnal warriors with the awareness and strategies needed to protect their well-being and continue to serve with heart.Support the show

Imagine conquering the night shift without feeling like a zombie the next day. That's what I bring to the table in our latest conversation, where I crack open nearly four decades of coaching experience to show you the ropes of thriving during the graveyard shift. It's time to rewrite the narrative on shift work and debunk those dusty myths that suggest it's all doom and gloom. Join us as we uncover simple, yet powerful strategies to boost health and vitality without spending a dime, proving that self-care isn’t just a buzzword, but a shift worker’s armor against the night.
As your guide through the peculiar world of non-traditional work hours, I zero in on the quintessential pillars of self-care: sleep, hydration, nutrition, movement, and stress management. This episode is a treasure trove of practical tips, from making water your new best friend to sneaking in exercise between shifts, all designed to sidestep the common traps that lead to burnout. We'll walk through how small, consistent habits can fuel a major transformation in your well-being. So, whether you're a night owl by nature or duty calls you to odd hours, I'm here to support your journey towards a healthier you.
Wrapping up, we don't just scratch the surface; we go deep into optimizing your life around shift work. I take the spotlight off high-cost health fads and shine it on what truly matters: consistent sleep patterns, staying hydrated, and smart stress management. With a heartfelt invitation to a transformative coaching discussion, I welcome anyone looking to personalise their path to wellness while juggling the unique challenges of shift work.
Get ready to turn the tide and sail smoothly through your shifts with renewed energy and confidence.Support the show

Navigating the intricate maze of flexible dieting, I unravel the complex threads of "If It Fits Your Macros" and its deceptive guise of freedom. Strapped with a calculator for every meal, the quest for a perfect macro balance often treads a fine line between structure and obsession, leaving us to wonder if the flexibility it boasts is merely an illusion. In this episode, I dissect the notion that tracking every gram can liberate us, while investigating how it might just as easily ensnare us in a web of food fixation, distancing us from the very real need for nutrient-rich meals and the joy of intuitive eating.
Life in the ever-shifting rhythm of irregular work hours adds another layer to this intricate puzzle. I share my personal experiences as a shift worker, emphasizing the potency of patience and kindness towards oneself when navigating the unpredictable tides of work and wellness. Join me as we explore strategies to remain steadfast in our commitment to mental health, persevering through the challenges that come with non-traditional work schedules, and celebrate the resilience that defines our journey towards a more balanced, healthier existence.Support the show

When the weight of your uniform amplifies the burden of stress, where can you turn? Hayley Rowley, a trauma-trained yoga instructor and former police officer, opens up about her transformative journey from battling PTSD to teaching yoga as a beacon of hope for shift workers. Our conversation peels back the layers of yoga's stereotypes, revealing an inclusive practice with an open invitation to those who serve on the front lines. With Hayley’s guidance, we bridge the gap between the rigorous demands of shift work and the grounding respite yoga can provide, offering a sanctuary for resilience and mental clarity.
Navigating the tumultuous waters of high-stress professions can leave even the strongest swimmers gasping for air. We share stories of recovery, growth, and the overlooked necessity of self-care in the policing world. As we uncover the challenges of integrating self-care routines into the lives of those who protect us, we also illuminate the societal shift towards embracing rest and the profound influence that controlled breathwork like the four-seven-eight method can have on our well-being. Together, we cast a lifeline to our listeners, demonstrating how yoga and meditation are not just retreats for the mind, but transformative tools for managing life's relentless tides.
Behind every call for help, there's a responder who deserves support, and Frontline Wellness is answering that call by providing free yoga to first responders. We spotlight the power of community, and the catharsis found in shared experiences, through yoga practices tailored to those who know sacrifice all too well. Looking forward, 2024 holds the promise of continued support for the mental health of our everyday heroes. Tune in to hear how the simple acts of moving with intention and breathing with purpose can offer solace and strength amidst the chaos, fostering a future where the term 'Post Traumatic Stress Injury' is not just a diagnosis but a path to recovery.Support the show

When I was offered the opportunity to attend Australia's biggest talk-back radio station 3AW Melbourne and guest with the legendary Tony McManus talking about everything night shift, I jumped at it.
The show goes into Victoria as well as South Australia which allows me to assist shift workers while they're hurting.
This is now a permanent every second Wednesday night spot where we discuss and take calls on everything shift work.
If you want to talk about and offer advice to shift workers, particularly night shifts, you have to be there while they're doing the shift.
This is the audio from this week's show.
