Your Body Isn’t Broken: It Just Needs The Right Support

This book is an absolute must have for shiftworkers. Most of the info out there about being healthy relates to a 9-5 type situation with the advice difficult to apply to shiftworking. It smashes through that and gives clear information and advice in an easy to understand way. No jargon here! The book debunks a few myths and even has recipes that will be useful for the dreaded nightshift. It's clear to me now that this book is well overdue and Audra deals with the unique issues of shiftwork with personal experience. this is the kind of book you go back to over and over again and I am highly recommending it to all my 24/7 buddies.

I highly recommend this book! It's such an easy read and is extremely relatable to shift workers. It's hard to find someone that really understands what shift workers go through and understands what's the most important factors we need the most. this is the first-ever book that I've come across that's specifically for shift workers and is written by one with experience. Audra wrote this book in a way that makes it easy for you to understand the science side without making you feel overwhelmed. I feel like this is the kind of book you can open and read a chapter at any time and can finish it within a week even after taking your time with it. Thank you for creating such an amazing piece of work Audra!

This book is amazing for many reasons. It doesn't demonize working night shift. It doesn't ignore the risk factors either - but it gives real world solutions to managing night shift and staying healthy. It's written by someone who has actually worked night shift for a long period of time then took that experience and pursued a career focused on the how to do it better. I wish all companies employing night shift workers had to read this book.

I have been a shiftworker for over 30 years and to finally have Audra Starkey, who was a shift worker herself, write this book that shows that she fully understands and truly cares for the health of shiftworkers, is both a relied and a godsend. Audra covers the main struggles we may all encounter in shiftwork, regardless of the actual job or occupation and offers practical solutions to guide us to better health. The information that details what happens to our bodies and bodily processes, as we are impacted by shiftwork is invaluable in helping to make better decisions towards better health. I highly recommend "Too Tired To Cook" for any shiftworker.

As a long time shift worker, I have come across a number of well meaning tips through the years, but many were either impractical or simply not effective, but this book is the best, most comprehensive guide to surviving shift work I have ever encountered. From diet, to sleeping strategies, to lifestyle management, this book has it all. The advice is sound, effective and realistic. The author's passion for helping the stressed shift worker brightly shines through. I wish I could place a copy in every shift wroker's hands!
