Ongoing and relentless tiredness is such a big part of being a shift worker, which is why in this week’s podcast, I’ve brought in the expert on all things to do with boosting our energy – nutrition, fitness and fat loss expert Yuri Elkhaim, who is joining us all the way from Toronto in Canada.

Yuri is the New York Times bestselling author of The All-Day Energy Diet and The All-Day Fat Burning Diet, and is a former professional soccer player turned health crusader.  Whilst he’s never worked shift work per se, he’s very familiar with chronic fatigue having been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease as a teenager.

When Yuri made the switch from a highly processed diet, to one which contained more whole foods, it became a real game changer for him as he noticed a massive improvement in his energy, along with greater mental clarity.  In addition to eating the right foods for energy, Yuri discusses why energy drinks are NOT good for shift workers as they trigger the adrenal glands to pump out the stress hormones adrenalin and cortisol, which are already working overtime as a result of working 24/7.

If you’re a tired and weary shift worker, then you won’t want to miss this episode!
