Here is a bit of an outline of his workshop that he has provided:🕢Shift Smarter: Eating Well When Routine Goes Out the Window - Shift work throws everything out of rhythm - appetite, energy, digestion, and sleep. In this practical session, I'll offer a realistic framework for fuelling your body and brain when the clock isn’t on your side. Having worked closely with shift workers across healthcare, emergency services, and beyond, I understand the unique pressures of working through the night and the impact it can have on both physical and mental performance. This workshop will provide strategies for managing energy dips, eating well when routines fall apart, and supporting recovery - even when your ‘break’ happens in the middle of the night. 😴Ngā mihi Conrad for coming along to share your skills with us! 👏✈️Travel safely if you are coming to Christchurch from around the motu - we can't wait to get together to share and learn with you all in just a few days time! 🕺🔑 Key Symposium info:🗓️13–14 September 2025📍 Ōtautahi Christchurch📌 Rydges Latimer Hotel💻 Visit loom.ly/V9mPfxo to check out the awesome program ...
