An evidence-based approach to coaching

Do you suffer from chronic fatigue? Can’t find the time to exercise and literally have no idea what to eat and when?   

Do you find you are always tired, yet can’t get good sleep when you finally do get to go to bed?

The metabolic damage that circadian misalignment causes can be irreversible.  If you don’t have knowledge about Sleep, Nutrition, Movement, Hydration and Stress management, you will end up relying on caffeine and other stimulants to get you through. This further complicates things altogether.

Shift work will gradually suck the life out of you if you don’t know the best way to go about it.

Don’t worry, you’re not alone. I’ve got you.

In fact, shift-workers in general are at a higher risk of:

 

  • Obesity

  • Type 2 diabetes

  • Cardiovascular disease

  • Mood fluctuations and disturbances

  • Gastrointestinal concerns such as constipation and stomach discomfort

  • Shift-work disorder

  • Metabolic Syndrome

  • Stress

  • Strained relationships in and out of the home

  • And more!

While this may sound like a pretty bleak outlook for those working long days and nights, combining science and experience, I’m here to help you.

Your life doesn’t have to be this way.

 Do you want more energy to do the things you love outside of shift-work?

 

Who is this guy?

I (Roger) have been a 24/7 shift worker for almost four decades. I personally suffered from numerous health conditions that I later found out were caused by poor nutrition and my practices around 24/7 shift-work.

Like you, I was never educated on the best way to go about shift work and just stumbled my way through it my entire career.

Now, as a certified evidence-based nutritionist, I can honestly testify how much nutrition and specific health management affects so many facets of physical and mental health. I still work as a 24/7 shift-worker, but without pain, fatigue, brain fog, and everything else that goes along with it. 

I now stay abreast of the research, break it down and with my own experience in a 24/7 shift working environment, find ways to apply it in your shift working life.

I am, to you, who I wish I had back when I started shift work.   

Without me, the research just sits on the shelf gathering dust.

What can Roger actually do for me?

An excellent question, and one I’m glad you asked.

I’m here to support you in identifying your values and goals. Together we will find ways to work toward them considering your unique lifestyle. Diets and meal plans don’t usually work for us shift-workers, simply because we don’t have the time (or energy) to prepare or stick to them. It is challenging to work out when and how to train when you are so fatigued, isn’t it? Especially for a shift-worker who also has to think about running a household, cooking, washing, cleaning, and a life where having to also walk the dog leaves you spent.

There is no calorie counting (unless you want to), weekly weighing or before and after pictures here. We work together to create solutions that create lasting changes for you as a shift-worker.

This could only come from someone who has worked night shift for decades like Roger has. He has an innate understanding of the challenges of shift work and how to look after yourself while navigating shift work.

Following Roger’s advice with my eating, sleeping and exercise regime, I am starting to feel like I have more energy. I’m thriving on night shift, not just surviving!
