#15 | Should Shiftwork be Normalised? | Women's Health & Wellness

Ep. 15

This episode is part of our old podcast format- while we hope you still love it, for more up to date content and episode structure, we recommend listening to episode 40 "Sugar Coated Lies: How The Food Industry Hooked America, & the World, on Sweets"


Is shift work damaging our health? In a nation run on out of hours services (police, bakers, candle stick makers..?) we're exploring the potentially irreversible ramifications shift work can have on our health.

Not only this, but we look at ways to reduce the likelihood of ill health if you are already shift working, and how you can prioritise self care if you're working against the clock.

This episode is information central guys, and Laura does not disappoint with her surprise ending this week. Listen 'til the end for not only hard-hitting facts, but to see what got us in fits of laughter in the very special ending of todays episode.
