I share six essential books that help shift workers cut through diet myths, understand circadian biology, tame artificial light, refine sleep timing, and navigate hormones in midlife. The core message is rhythm: align light, food, sleep, and hormones to get energy back.

• nutrition without extremes and why quick fixes fail
• circadian basics from cells to daily habits
• how artificial light at night disrupts melatonin and metabolism
• flexible sleep anchored by consistent wake time
• chronotypes and working with your groove
• perimenopause and menopause strategies for women 40+
• practical steps: manage light, time meals, split sleep, track patterns

An edited version of my segment on 3AW Melbourne, Australia Overnight.

Talking shift work and anything else that comes up along the way.

We move from public trust and “cashies” to why organisations say there’s “no money” for staff wellbeing, then dig into mornings, social jet lag, and simple fixes that make Monday feel human again. Roger shares practical, low-cost tools for energy, sleep, and stress relief that anyone can try tomorrow.

• everyday ethics vs systemic misuse of public funds
• budget excuses for staff education challenged
• unplanned leave, fatigue and safety costs
• first 10 minutes after waking as keystone
• sky before screen and hydrate before you caffeinate
• morning light to anchor circadian rhythm
• sleep duration vs consistent wake time
• social jet lag across weekends explained
• caller stories on fatigue, routine and resilience
• bullying at work acknowledged with support offered
• 4-7-8 breathwork to reduce night wakings

We break down why most pre-workout powders are expensive caffeine with underdosed extras, then lay out a simple, research-backed routine that suits shift work and real recovery. We explain energy balance, protein timing, caffeine dosing and sleep so you can train smarter.

• the problem with proprietary blends and label padding
• why energy balance drives fat loss, not powders
• the only reliable acute aid being caffeine, with proper dose ranges
• beta-alanine tingles explained and why saturation matters
• the simple pre-training setup: protein milk plus coffee
• protecting lean mass by adding protein first after fasting
• milk as carbs, fluids and electrolytes for quick fuel
• post-training protein rhythm every three to five hours
• caffeine timing for shift workers to protect deep sleep
• the core pillars: deficit, protein, lifting, sleep, consistency
