Annie Barrett is a Naturopath practising from Emerald Natural Health at The HUB, Emerald, QLD. As Annie is also a Medical Scientist she has 24 years of experience as a shit worker.
At The Happy Shift Worker Talk you will learn ways to:
1. Improve your sleep and reduce your fatigue, resulting in:
- Better focus, concentration, motivation and productivity.
- More energy to do the things you love
- Improved mood, so you have better relationships
- Reduced risk of accidents and injuries due to improved alertness
2. Adjust your diet. You’ll learn about food swaps, the best times to eat, how bulk cooking helps improve your diet and saves you time and how eating foods in the right order can help.
3. Feel more relaxed. Even if you don’t feel stressed, relaxation is 100% necessary for shift workers as the disruption to your body clock affects the body’s stress systems and mental health.
4. How to take action. You will learn a lot of information on the day. Rather than leaving you feeling overwhelmed, I’ll teach you ways that you can start to incorporate what you have learnt into your daily life.

FAQs
- Do I need to attend all dates?
No. Choose whichever date suits you.
- Will I need to buy supplements if I attend the talk?
The talk is based on diet and lifestyle advice. However, I may mention nutritional supplements that are beneficial to shift workers. It is your choice to use supplements. There is a great range available from Emerald Natural Health (in The HUB) if you choose to purchase any at a later date.
- Will I be expected to book an appointment with you?
100% your choice. I do offer naturopathic consultations, but you are not obliged to book an appointment with me. The aim of the talk is to educate shift workers about ways they can improve their energy levels and health using diet and lifestyle modifications, something I wish was available to me when I worked shifts!
- Can I attend if I'm not a shift worker?
Anyone who doesn't work traditional 9am-5pm hours and feels they need extra support is welcome. You could be a healthcare worker, protective and emergency services worker, miner, baker, farmer, small business owner, and even parents with young children may benefit! Pretty much anyone with an irregular life.
- I hate writing notes, will a copy of the talk be available?
Yes, there will be a printed copy of the slide presentation available on the day.
- Do I need to participate in any way?
No. But feel free to ask questions. I'll do my best to answer them!
- Will there be any breaks?
Yes. I know what it's like to be a tired shift worker, so there will be regular short breaks between topics. Tea, coffee, water and light refreshments will be provided.
