A Healthy Shift I give shift workers more energy.

I combine 4 decades of shiftworking experience coupled with a qualification in evidence-based nutrition to coach 24/7 shift workers to Thrive, not just Survive in their shift working lives.

If youโ€™ve followed along quietly.

If youโ€™ve shared my work.

If youโ€™ve sent a message.

If youโ€™ve listened to the podcast.

If youโ€™re part of the Shift Workers Collective.

If youโ€™ve shown up to webinars.

Or if you trusted me with 1:1 coaching.

I see you.

The results Iโ€™ve watched this year have been powerful.

Not because of hacks or trends.

But because science paired with lived shift work experience works.

Generic advice doesnโ€™t cut it for 24/7 workers.

Never has. Never will.

2026 is about education.

Tracking the research.

Translating it into real life.

And getting this work into actual shift working environments where it belongs.

One more thing.

On this day in 2024, I gave up alcohol.

That makes two years alcohol free today.

Best decision Iโ€™ve made for my health, sleep, and clarity.

So Iโ€™ll ask you this.

Whatโ€™s your goal for 2026?

Let us know below and weโ€™ll keep you accountable.

HAPPY NEW YEAR LEGENDS

Today will look different for many people.

While tables are being set and gifts are being unwrapped, some of you are putting on a uniform. Youโ€™re heading out the door. Again.

Hospitals donโ€™t close. Emergency calls donโ€™t stop. Care doesnโ€™t pause because itโ€™s Christmas Day.

If youโ€™re working today or over this period, this is for you.

Thank you for showing up when itโ€™s hard.

Thank you for missing moments so others can feel safe.

Thank you for doing a job most people only think about when they need you.

I know the cost isnโ€™t just fatigue.

Itโ€™s the empty chair.

The delayed celebration.

The quiet drive home while the rest of the world sleeps.

And I know this year feels heavier.

There is more uncertainty.

More pressure.

So if no one has said it directly to you today, hear this clearly.

Your work matters.

Your sacrifice is seen.

You are not forgotten.

Whether youโ€™re on nights, days, on call, or holding it together on very little sleep, I hope you feel some gratitude wrap around you today.

From my family to yours.

From one shift worker to another.

We see you

Merry Christmas and Thank you.

Not just tired.
Not just flat.

But disconnected from her body and unhappy at work.

She knew something had to change.

Over 12 weeks, we rebuilt her routine so her body could cope with shift work again.

Nothing extreme. Nothing perfect. Just what actually works.

Now she feels in control.

Sheโ€™s dropped alcohol.

Sheโ€™s handling night shifts with more ease.

And sheโ€™s planning for a baby with confidence instead of fear.

This didnโ€™t happen by chance.

And it wonโ€™t happen by waiting.

Do you want to be the next Lily?

Or still feeling stuck, exhausted, and frustrated this time next year?

Back then, I thought the exhaustion, mood swings, cravings, and foggy mornings were just โ€œpart of the job.โ€

I genuinely believed I just needed to be tougherโ€ฆ push harderโ€ฆ sleep when I couldโ€ฆ and deal with it like everyone else.

But hereโ€™s the truth I wish I knew earlier:

Shift work isnโ€™t something you โ€œtough out.โ€

Itโ€™s something you have to learn how to do.

Because the moment you start working against your own body clock everything changes:
โ€ข your hormones
โ€ข your appetite
โ€ข your sleep drive
โ€ข your energy
โ€ข your recovery

No one teaches you this.

So you just keep pushingโ€ฆ until your body finally pushes back.

And if youโ€™re in your first year or even your fifteenth,
please hear this:

Youโ€™re not failing.
Youโ€™re adapting to one of the hardest work schedules in the world.
You just need the right strategy, not more willpower.

If I could go back, Iโ€™d consistently do these three things:

1๏ธโƒฃ Have a regular wake up time, regardless of sleep time.

2๏ธโƒฃ Consistently fuel, not wait for the crash and grab anything.

3๏ธโƒฃ Build pillars and have structure and routines in place.

If nobody has ever said this to youโ€ฆ
Let me be the first.

Youโ€™re doing better than you think.

And you donโ€™t have to figure this out alone.

10/12/2025

Most days weโ€™re head down, working hard.

And then a good track hits and suddenly weโ€™re doing air guitar or mixing like we own the place.
Running a business is tough.

Getting engagement here is even tougher.
When something helps you, itโ€™ll help someone else too.

And your interaction actually teaches the platform what you want to see.
So letโ€™s back the people who show up for you.

Watch for a moment, hit like, and share it so your mates can learn from it as well.
Weโ€™re here to help. And you get it at no cost.

Look at this image. The exhaustion is palpable. Itโ€™s the reality for so many of us working irregular hours.

We spend so much mental energy obsessing over finding the "perfect" food diet to combat the fatigue and the creeping weight gain. Yet, we completely ignore the diet that our biology prioritises above almost everything else:

Your "๐—Ÿ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐——๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜."

As humans, we are programmed to be awake with the sun and asleep when itโ€™s dark. Shift work flips that script, but itโ€™s our exposure to Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) that is having a diabolical impact on our biology.

When you blast your eyes with blue light after sunset, from phones, overhead LEDs, or TVs, you aren't just "staying awake." You are signalling chaos to every cell in your body.

The science is terrifyingly clear.
Poor light hygiene and circadian disruption are directly linked to:
- Stubborn weight gain and metabolic issues.
- increased risks of breast and prostate cancers.
- Cardiovascular disease, strokes, and heart attacks.

Furthermore, if you aren't getting outside into early morning daylight, your circadian rhythm never gets the crucial anchor point it desperately craves. You are biologically adrift.

This is why the "Light Diet" is priority number one for every shift worker I coach. Itโ€™s non-negotiable.

When they finally get their light environment right, the transformation is incredible. Suddenly, their mental health stabilises, those confusing hunger signals regulate, and weight management finally becomes achievable.

Stop ignoring the impacts of a poor light diet.

Do you want help getting your light diet right and reclaiming your health?

Most women working nights have never been told how deeply night shift impacts their long-term health.
Not by their workplace.
Not by their doctor.
Not by anyone.

But in every seminar I run, I hear the same thing:
โ€œWhy has no one explained this before?โ€
โ€œI thought it was just me.โ€
โ€œI didnโ€™t realise the risk was this high.โ€

The truth is this:
Circadian misalignment, exposure to artificial light at night, changes the way your body heals, repairs, manages hormones, and protects you.
And if youโ€™re working nights, you deserve to understand whatโ€™s happening inside you so you can protect yourself, not just โ€œpush through.โ€

Women arenโ€™t being given the right information.

So Iโ€™m giving it to you.

This isnโ€™t about fear.
Itโ€™s about giving female shift workers the information they deserve so they can protect their health, their hormones, and their future.

Your body runs on a clock.
Night shift pulls against it.
And understanding how this affects melatonin, sleep, and hormone balance gives you the power to make better choices around light, routines, and recovery.

This is why I do what I do.
Supporting female shift workers isnโ€™t a side project.
Itโ€™s my mission.
And women deserve clear, simple guidance, not confusion or silence.

Iโ€™ve broken down the research in easy terms on my website so you can understand what the evidence actually says and what steps help reduce the impact.
