Jet Lag Explained: How to Travel Smarter and Feel Better

In this episode, Simon and Darren unpack the science of jet lag, exploring why rapid travel across time zones disrupts our sleep, energy, mood, and overall well-being. They dive into the role of circadian rhythms, why flying east is often harder than flying west, and how light exposure, meal timing, hydration, and movement can make or break your adjustment to a new time zone.

The conversation also highlights the psychological side of travel and why personalised strategies matter—because no two travellers respond the same way.

Whether you travel for work, holidays, or family, this episode offers practical, evidence-based insights to help you arrive feeling more human and less jet-lagged.
