In this episode of Chief Life, we’re unpacking the science of jetlag and how to beat it—especially for athletes and high performers who need to stay sharp while traveling.
Our guest, Dr Peter Fowler, holds a PhD in Exercise Physiology, with his research focused on travel and its impact on athletic performance. He has worked with elite athletes to develop science-based strategies for minimising jetlag, improving recovery, and maintaining peak performance across time zones.
We cover:
- Why jetlag happens and how it affects physical and mental performance
- The best ways to manage light exposure, nutrition, exercise, and sleep to adjust faster
- Whether fasting or specific foods can help reduce jetlag
- Why people often get sick after flying and how to prevent it
- Practical pre-, during-, and post-travel strategies for anyone who wants to travel better
If you want to optimise your travel and avoid feeling wrecked after long flights, this episode is packed with expert insights and actionable tips!
